Recently saw “Bates” on the London stage. He was excellent, and very nice and patient to fans who waited outside. I’m not a DA fan but was waiting for one of the Harry potter stars also in the show.
Bates played a bartender in The Raven, playing a scene with John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe, 2011. He had a major role in the British miniseries North and South, 2004, available for free streaming for Amazon Prime members.
