Не могу не запостить (пусть и без перевода) отрывок из вчерашней статьи американской журналистки Бриттани Фридерик
"5 Television Actors Deserving of More Notice in 2013" (см. стр. 4).
- Очень хороший отзыв об актерском мастерстве Джейми, проявленном в роли Мэтта Девлина (британская версия "Закона и порядка"), с которым я согласна от первой и до последней строчки!)))
Ыыы ... ну, оказывается, не только я так много и восторженно могу писать о Мэтте Девлине))) Не смотря на то, что большинству зрителей Бамбер известен прежде всего по роли Аполло в BSG, автор статьи считает роль Мэтта Девлина выдающейся актерской работой: в узких рамках процедурной драмы Джейми создал образ
"одного из лучших полицейских телевидения когда-либо украшавших экраны как США, так и Великобритании" ...

While American audiences likely know Jamie Bamber best from his role as Lee 'Apollo' Adama on SyFy's Battlestar Galactica (alongside Michael Trucco), he did some of his greatest work as Detective Sergeant Matt Devlin on ITV's Law & Order: UK. On paper, Devlin could have easily been the stereotypical younger, good-looking cop with the short fuse, but together with LOUK's crack writing staff, he became one of the best TV police ever to grace the screen in either the US or the UK.
What made the difference? Bamber's ability to play even the smallest or least significant moments as if they meant something. There were major episodes where he tore into what made Devlin tick, such as after the suicide of an old friend in the episode 'Confession,' and he shined in those installments - but some of his best character development happened when the focus wasn't even on him. There were little moments, like Devlin's unwillingness to look partner Ronnie Brooks in the eye when they disagreed over a case, that made all the difference. When he exited the series after its fifth season - in two episodes that are some of the best TV drama ever written - it was gut-wrenching, but it also made perfect sense, because the audience could see, feel and understand exactly how Devlin had gotten to that point. The Law & Order franchise may not be known for its character development, but Bamber created one of its most memorable and entertaining detectives.
Since leaving LOUK, Bamber starred in the ambitious 17th Precinct pilot for NBC that didn't go to series, and booked guest parts on ABC's Body of Proof - as another love interest for Megan Hunt - and TNT's Perception. He was good in both roles, but he's one of those actors who's wasted just showing up for an episode or two. He's the one you want leading the ensemble.
Bamber is a regular on the upcoming TNT medical drama Monday Mornings, playing the central role of neurosurgeon Tyler Wilson. Monday Mornings arrives on (fittingly) Monday, February 4.
