    My first exposure to Michael Kitchen was his role as Bill Tanner, the overworked and much-harangued Chief of Staff to Judi Dench's "M" in the later James Bond films. Even with just a few minutes of screen time in each, Kitchen was able to create a character who felt very real, a flesh-and-blood person that is so rarely seen in the 007 universe. Sadly, it seems his days in Bond are over, but I have recently begun watching his series "Foyle's War" and am thrilled to see him in a piece where he is the lead.

    Kitchen is an actor who can still convey emotion without speaking - indeed, some of his expressions and asides in "Foyle's" are better than any spoken dialogue. He's not a traditional leading man, but does consistently deliver a nuanced performance. I want to track down more of his work and see more roles from this very talented actor.
