      Watch V For Vendetta next, also Hugo Weaving. In that film, he does an excellent job of portraying emotions from behind a mask. He does a better job from behind a mask than a lot of actors can do with their entire face.

      I don’t even want to admit how many times I watched The Addams Family before I realised that Uncle Fester was Doc Brown.
