his acting suffers greatly from being 'Eddie Izzard', as there's an expectation of a light hearted approachthis being said, he was excellent in 'The Riches'

The first serious role I ever saw him inwas playing Charlie Chaplin in "The Cat's Meow". I totally upgraded my opinion of him from "indifferent" to "impressive".

I don't think I have seen that, I'll have to have a look for it.I'm a massive fan of his stand up, but as Archie has said so eloquently, his acting has far too often suffered from him being Eddie Izzard.
