He was in the Crown a few years back. The wiki says he's filming something.

Is he gay? One late in life marriage to a woman that lasted only a few years.

Not a classic, but I actually enjoyed his performance as Dean Martin in the TV movie MARTIN and LEWIS (co-starring Sean Hayes as Jerry Lewis).
The entire film is on You Tube:

He fucked Emma Thompson roughly from behind in Carrington.
It feels like he's been in more A list projects than he actually has. The mid/late 90s early 00s period was good but who remembers him in Amistad or The Golden Bowl? I was thinking about Possession last week when AS Byatt died and I remember Paltrow and Ehle but not him.

LOVE HIM! First time I ever saw him was in a UK mini-series based on the great Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine whodunnit A FATAL INVERSION when he was in his early 20s. IIRC he does a semi-nude scene in it (and it's a great mystery, her best!).

That is always my first memory as well, r11! I had recently read the book and then saw the tv series. There is a very homoerotc scene where the male characters are just about to fuck but are interrupted. I think there was also full frontal in another scene.
I always found him very sexy but his career does seem to have seen better days.

What stands out in that Michael Sheen interview.
The Welsh actor, 51, London-born Kate, 47, daughter Lily, now 21, partner Anna Lundberg, 26.
Imagine being 5 years younger than your dad's new girlfriend, and 20 years older than your step sister.

I loved his Ivor Novello in Gotsford Park. Loved him in everything he's done actually. Even the flops. Would have loved to have seen him in live theatre performance. Didn't he play Thomas More in The Tudors? His Anthony Eden in The Crown was pitch perfect.

Does he do a lot of stage work?
I think he was the only child of wealthy parents and just kind of quit acting when he got that inheritance money.

Why are we talking about Michael Sheen and Kate Beckinsale? OK. She was in The Golden Bowl with Jeremy Northam in his disastrous turn as an Italian, but WTF?

His dad, who was a famed literature professor at Cambridge and Bristol, died in 2004.
His mom was an economics professor.

I think he's an exceptional actor. Have enjoyed him in everything I've seen of him.
He gave Hollywood a shot briefly, then retreated back to Britain. Now, I rarely see him in anything,.
Wish he'd stuck if out in Hollywood a bit longer and wish Hollywood had made him a bigger star. He's so much more talented than Bradley Cooper.

Michael Sheen is overrated and an overacting actor. He destroyed a full season of The Good Fight.
Jeremy should come back to actting.

Michael Sheen's performance in The Good Fight was so bad it was practically racist. One of the worst performances I've ever seen from a serious actor and I watched Fiona Shaw in The Black Dahlia.
I've always imagined Jeremy Northam as being the kind of man who likes having his cock sucked slowly while he sits there, very quiet, guiding the person with his hand. Demanding and quite boring but respectful.

R9 Amistad is a good movie that I have enjoyed for years, but the problem is not Northam, he does a great job. It is that the movie is overall is too historical.
Northam is in maybe 15 minutes of the movie. There are other big names too- Matthew McConaughey, Antony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Nigel Hawthorne, etc.

The picnic scene in Emma: [quote] Were she prosperous or a woman equal to you in situation, I would not quarrel with you about any liberties of manner. But she is poor, even more so than when she was born. And should she live to be an old lady, she will sink further still. Her situation being in every way below you should secure your compassion! Badly done, Emma. Badly done. She has watched you grow from a time when her notice of you was an honour to this, humbling her, laughing at her in front of people who would be guided by your treatment of her.
Just perfect.

According to Imdb his last credit was a film called OFFICIAL SECRETS in 2019. Sounds like a political thriller with a great British cast including Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Matt Smith and Matthew Goode. Anyone seen it or heard of it? Last credit before that was Anthony Eden in THE CROWN 2016-17.
Surely, he's been offered more in the last 4 years??

I love Northam, but this OP is playing the "let's discuss" troll by crapping a Wikipedia link on thread after thread and then acting like Mom with the kids in the house on a rainy day trying to keep the kids occupied.
Like a control freak.
