Dominic West’s Prince Charles impression | The Graham Norton Show – BBC

But isn’t it nuts to be playing Prince Charles I mean is the pressure of that greater or less to be playing a very very famous person yeah there’s an enormous pressure on the crown because it was such a successful show before I went in and Josh did such a great job

And and but at the end of the day you’ve got to do you’ve got to do parts that appeal to you and that you know that not that many come along you know we’ve got to take whatever you know when you got a juicy part like that you can’t turn it

  8. Dominic West was in a American TV series called The Wire. About Baltimore City, much of it was non-fictional..
    This I don't understand I have never seen him as a particularly handsome man, being a man a straight man I know what an attractive gentleman looks like, he is average at best..
