Charles is Henry Somerset in To the ends of the earth in 2005(a cameo)

broadcast : BBC 2 in July 2005
"If you're seen to be playing cameos, you get offered cameos. If you are seen playing small parts, you get offered small parts; if you're playing leading men, you get offered leading roles.
 He responds in his usual laconic way when asked what attracted him to the part of Sir Henry Somerset in to The Ends of the Earth.
"Apart from the money, do you mean?" he asks with a knowing smile. "Sir Henry is rather comic: a bit of a buffoon. He's described as being 'a wide man, ample girth' and I thought it would be interesting to play a fat man. The scripts are excellent and even though it's only a cameo, it's hopefully a telling one. I thought it was something I'd like to be part of."
