How big is Martin Freeman in the UK?

He’s a bit half tv/half film person now. This is his appearance on Who Do You Think You Are - possibly more sanguine than a Tom Hanks type:

I admire Martin Freeman’s work in Sherlock and the Hobbit.

I didn’t watch The Office :eek: and associate Simon Jones with Arthur Dent.

As for comparisons with Tom Hanks’ fame, remember that Hollywood has a huge publicity operation for its stars.

Wow, thanks for that. I watched all five parts — that was fascinating!

No one mentioned Ali G Indahouse? Where I yelled, ‘That’s Arthur Dent!’
