    Always was a massive Chris Barry fan, Arnold Rimmer was always my favourite character on the smash hit Britcom Red Dwarf. Despite his utter smeggyness as a character, it's the glimpses of a tragic figure who could be redeemed that made me fall in love with that persona. Just a phenominal actor and comedien, with a great amount of intelligence. I'd love to meet him. Smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast.

      "or was it a left hand turn? Yes, it should have been a left hand turn."

    Chris Barrie's insight on how English neighborhoods that were built in the 50s, the developers didn't anticipate that the roads would have to support as much traffic as they do now is in sync with what I say about LA freeways--when they were designed, was no one actually living here?! They certainly weren't built for LA traffic: the real hell on wheels.

    I was a huge fan of Spitting Image as a kid and Red Dwarf is my all-time favourite comedy! Chris Barrie is one of the best comedians out there, in my opinion. I always felt, personally, that Barrie brought the most to each of those shows (more than the other actors.) Much of what he does is subtle, but it's those little details in his acting that make him so interesting to watch. Just the way his eyes sharpen in tension or he frowns like a sad little boy while lowering his head, as Rimmer. Love it!

    • @justliam2768
      @justliam2768 Před 8 lety +6

      Yeah, fully agree. Just working my way through all the Red Dwarf series for the umpteenth time, and I had never noticed before just how many subtle little nuances Chris incorporates into his performance. You see the other actors occasionally dropping out of character or switching off when they're not delivering their lines, but if you keep your eyes on Chris, he just doesn't stop!

    • @SevenEllen
      @SevenEllen Před 8 lety +5

      +Just Liam Yeah right! I remember noticing the more subtle, insecure expressions and little motions he made during Dimension Jump when Lister's talking about how one single change in Rimmer's childhood could result in completely different people. He's just great at showing Rimmer's vulnerable side.
