Orlando Bloom in Midsomer - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There has long been in Britain a constant circulation between stage, film and television, far more than in the US (where an actor who moves on from TV to film has in effect been "promoted from the minor leagues" and never looks back, with rare exceptions). Whereas in the UK it's completely normal to see a star of the magnitude of Dame Judi Dench do a sitcom, or an actor with the stage resume of Patrick Stewart happy to do Star Trek.

And of course Bloom more recently has been starring in the TV steampunk fantasy series Carnival Row.
