Aside from the content of the article, Foy is incredible in the series. She plays the queen understated, classy and very smart.

She’s such a good actress that just the slightest raising of her eyebrow or almost unnoticeable inflection of her voice alone can completely change a scene.

And the actor who plays her husband is dreadful. Foy, at least, is talented.

She deserves to get paid more. She's excellent. Also, I say that the hottie who plays Princess Margaret should get a raise too!

you do not pay someone more just because they do a good job. you pay them based upon their background and the bucks they bring in. equal pay for equal job not equal pay if you don’t have the same credentials.

Oh I’m just being tongue-in-cheek about this all. I don’t really care what a bunch of limeys get paid. But I do enjoy the show - thought they did a respectful job of presenting Rev. Billy Graham.

sure i enjoyed the show too. she did a great job. but if you read history you would see that Matt did the character justice. just as she did. and all this is moot because they are both gone as characters in the next season.

Don’t start with me on this or IMDB (not IMDs which appears to be an automobile data system): Matt Smith is an unappealing actor who seems to act through his eyebrows.

Claire Foy, on the other hand, is a rising star who made a great hit playing Anne Boleyn in the brilliant series Wolf Hall. She managed to turn that unappealing young woman into a great woman who died like a Prince. For that reason alone, I tuned into The Crown.

In theater and film, actors do not get paid according to either their long term or short term careers. They are not civil servants or accountants. They are paid by how they attract the audience. No one tunes in to anything that stars Matt Smith. Claire Foy is going to be a star.

No, I am not insane. I’m a theater professional. I won’t make noises about your profession; try not to embarrass yourself by commenting on mine.

The worst Dr. Who in the world and maybe YOU tuned in to watch him embarrass himself as the prince consort. The man looks like he has a permanent headache. I won't even begin to discuss the stupidity of the script which has this witty and staunch gentleman being portrayed as a jealous, sulking oaf; Achilles in his tent has more charm. Dreadful, dreadful performance. I'm still incensed at the disgusting portrait of the great society photographer, Lord Snowdon. Thank God for Foy!

Go back to looking up automobile data, slickdrain. You’re out of your league.
