I don't know if any of you have any idea who this actor is, but he's probably most famous for playing "Sam Tyler" in the BBC hit drama "Life On Mars." I've enjoyed Simms portrayl in the series a lot, and there are several times when he's done things that made him LOOK like Brian. The man would have to beef up for the role, a bit, I think, as he seems to slight to pull off Brian. But I really think he could do it.

I seriously doubt he'd ever be cast, as the role will likely go to someone like Jude Law. But I'm sure Simm could do it, and do a marvelous job at it. Take a peek at "Life On Mars" and tell me otherwise.

Well, I still feel this way and think it's worth mentioning. You can see Simm in "Doctor Who" now too, as the Master, where he even manages to pull off the "suit" look. Although I much more prefer his performance as Sam Tyler in Life On Mars to his performace as the Master in Doctor Who.

I have to say I haven't gotten around to watching Life on Mars, but I have seen him in Doctor Who and the movie Forgive and Forget. My vote is for John. =D I think he'd be perfect.

Wonder if this was a strange unconnected coincidence, or did he figure this one out all by himself?
