I really hope he's related to the very funny Colin Mochrie of Whose Line

Mitchell sounds like Alan Rickman, I felt like I was hearing Snape reading the sentence. I like it

I really like that. In interviews they are Robert, and at home they can be Percival if they want.

I can't read this without hearing that voice actor's voice. So incredibly British.

Very small detail, it’s from Mitchell & Webb Look, but Peep Show is great too.

Yeah sure. But they're all very similar if you think about it; same clueless, innocent role played by Colin Farrel, with the same flat and dark humor.

And Sophie Wilson.

It's probably just a coincidence though.

I'm glad to see that you mentioned this. I had the pleasure of working with Russell Fish on a different project, and I immediately thought of TOMI when looking at the parent article.
