David Thelfall is without a doubt one of the UK’s best actors. No matter what you feel about the character ‘Frank’ this boy is a sound actor and very convincing. The fact that he come’s from my neck of the woods has nothing to do with it. This is a man who has worked hard and consistently to arrive where he is today.

I agree, he's an absolute brilliant actor and extremely underrated. Unfortunately he'll always be Frank Gallagher from now on.
