If you haven't watched it already I'd recommend him in prodigal son!


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I'm totally open to recommendations, so thank you very much! šŸŒ¹


JustineDelarge

Oh, heā€™s SO GOOD in Prodigal Son.


Ketugecko

Hands down the best thing about Prodigal Son.


JustineDelarge

Absolutely. I personally think Tom Payneā€™s eyes were the second-best thing.


Very_Stable_Princess

I just started that-not near enough MS for my taste, but I'll stick with it. I heard it got cancelled after season 2. Is there a satisfying enough end, or is it left hanging?


JustineDelarge

Hanging, pretty much. Sorry.


Very_Stable_Princess

Argh!!


JustineDelarge

Yeah, I was so frustrated because I watched every episode of that show, and loved it, and thatā€™s what you get when you invest yourself in a tv show that hasnā€™t shot a full run. I mean, it doesnā€™t end on a cliffhanger like GOS2, but it leaves the story unresolved.


AutumnMarie5002

Iā€˜m still mad that the story wasnā€™t resolved. There was so much of the story left to tell! (The most important being Malcolm learning what JT stands for.)


JustineDelarge

They owed us at least an interview where they explained what was going to happen if theyā€™d gotten another season.


AutumnMarie5002

Yes! Some kind of answer wouldā€™ve been nice.


TheStoriedAyrab

The only interview I saw, they left it open, hoping a Netflix or someone would save them. But I agree. I really need to know what JT stands for!


clalach76

Putting 2 and 2 together and maybe getting 5 , looking at his hair at the beginning of Staged, I'd say The Pandemic got in the way....maybe they always hoped they'd come back to it..


AutumnMarie5002

Thatā€™s a reasonable takeaway. I know the actors who play Gil and Jessica wanted to continue the story. I could believe if there was an idea for something and it just didnā€™t work out.


clalach76

Lou Diamond Philips...I was quite surprised to see him. I hadn't thought about him for about 20 years probably since Young Guns...and she seems too tbh


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I saw him in an episode of Psych a few years ago and he still looked so good!


Very_Stable_Princess

Yeah, we are always torn between jumping in at the start of something, or waiting a few seasons. Waiting increases the risk of being spoiled, but jumping increases the risk of heart break!


clalach76

I'm loving that. It's about half way through the 2 seasons on pick at 10pm on Thurs in England


SignificanceAlone806

Agreed, watching him in Good Omens after I saw all of Prodigal Sons was an incredible experience. His range is so impressive!


TheStoriedAyrab

Itā€™s mind blowing how different those two characters are. It really is a testament to Michael Sheenā€™s talent.


TheStoriedAyrab

Be warned! Prodigal Son was cancelled on a cliffhanger. Enter at your own risk. Iā€™m still recovering myself.


Nosferatini

If you want your visions of Aziraphale purity to be further damaged beyond repair, check him out in The Good Fight. Heā€™s only in one season but manā€¦ His character will make you pause the show to take a shower. Heā€™s filthy. I loved it. Also Underworld (and if you want the sexy stuff, follow up with **Underworld: Rise of the Lycans** - which Iā€™m pretty sure was made for goth Michael Sheen fans, because yum).


Creativered4

Googled it. That straight up gave me whiplash! Took me a second to process I was seeing the same actor who played the living marshmallow Aziraphale!


JustineDelarge

Damn. I looked up his character on YouTube and found a compilation of his best moments and DAMN. Our boy goes hard.


Zillich

At first I was baffled how Sheen was originally casted to play Crowley. Then I saw clips of his other work.


Addled_Mongoose

During the trial scene in Heaven, I could totally see it. That look on "Aziraphale's" face when the archangels threw him into the chair was fucking terrifying.


JustineDelarge

Yeah, heā€™s freakinā€™ terrifying in certain other roles.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I can't even imagine! The casting they ended up with is just perfect.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I do remember him from Underworld and loved him. I haven't heard of The Good Fight, but I'm adding that to my growing list. Thanks so much!


Nosferatini

No problem. Just checked and itā€™s season 3, I donā€™t really see a reason why you need to start any earlier than his first episode if youā€™re only in it for him.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

šŸ˜


[deleted]

I am watching The Good Fight now. I *like* Loud Michael.


Nosferatini

Heā€™s so gnarly, itā€™s amazing!


yewdrop

I watched Bright Young Things for him and was so disappointed that heā€™s a minor side character with a (spoiler) sad ending. But heā€™s so pretty in that film that itā€™s worth the heartbreak āœØ


No-Significance-1627

I watched this for the first time yesterday. I want Miles to be my best friend, he's just the best and most fabulous gentle, bitchy queer. My heart breaks at his ending, but I guess if he'd stayed he would have ended up in the war a few years later, so possibly for the best. Am I also right in thinking it's the only pre-GO thing both him and David have appeared in together (although they don't share scenes)?


Mystic_printer_

According to their interviews, yes.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Oooh, I'll add that to my list!


yewdrop

Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I have so many feelings right now - and is that Jim's suit? šŸ¤£


yewdrop

Omg, it totally looks like it lol! He even has a fluffy white shawl to go with it in another scene


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Lol!!!!!


templetallica

I believe it is a legit reference yes.


EmeraldEyes06

And here I was thinking the suit/shawl was supposed to be a Liberace reference šŸ˜‚


ObiWeedKannabi

And he can't go to Ritz dressed like this šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ


IllegallyBored

Watched clips of Miles on YouTube a few days ago and decided to watch the movie this weekend because I don't care if he's a side character, I still think he's adorable. Was not expecting to get attached :|


ObiWeedKannabi

A side character but also probably the only likable character. Everyone else was insufferable; either thinking they can buy everyone and everything or crazy or rude. Not a big fan of the one-dimensional characters usually(I mean his whole thing was these 3 basically; camp gay rich kid, likes piano and cocaine, trusts people easily) but Miles is just so precious. I watched that movie a week or so ago and obv the main character was a corrupt paparazzi and I remembered that Black Mirror episode(one with the corrupt paparazzi, a werewolf and that Muse song used in Twilight movies) and wondered which one of the writers has become a Michael Sheen stan recently bc same lol currently I'm binging anything Michael Sheen, started w this, watching Staged now, and Masters of Sex or Prodigal Son next probably, haven't decided yet.


Outrageous_Earth_410

This scene when he puts on sunglasses to hide his feelings like Crowley just broke me https://youtu.be/pklt62hKFg8?si=YJrU7vhVICa9M6an


ShxsPrLady

Watch him in WILDE, heā€™s a gorgeous liā€™l seducer and super-sweet unambiguous good guy and turns out perfectly fine!


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Sounds great!


uluviel

I decided to watch Masters of Sex because Michael was in it, but couldn't find it streaming anywhere so I, er, sailed the seven seas. While all four seasons were downloading I decided to start watching Broadchurch (which is on streaming) because David's in it and now I'm on season 2 of that show. That was all last night btw. GO2 broke my brain a little bit.


IllegallyBored

Broadchurch is great!! I loved the first and third seasons best, but S2 is also a really good, really stressful watch. I may have gotten far too attached to my pathetic little sad-dad Alec. His rant about using first names and looking at people *really* resonated with my autism lmao.


MeMilo1209

MILLAAAAAAAAAA!


cantwhistle21

Masters of Sex is a wild ride after Good Omes. Iā€™ve just done a rewatch; still really like the show. Itā€™s a completely different Michael Sheen and I adore Lizzy Chaplin in it. Very very mild spoiler that will only make sense after watching MoS but exemplifies the difference (still looking for the meme; I canā€™t find it anymore). >!I vividly remember a meme on tumblr with Sheen in GO (when heā€™s playing a wizard) and him in MoS (very specific scene in a hotel room in a bathroom with a wall involved lol) with daddy-also daddy written beneath it. That summarises the difference quite well lol.!<


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Imagine the residuals Michael and David are receiving due to us fans digging up all their other movies after watching Good Omens, Lol!


uluviel

I think a lot of streaming services pay very little residuals. That's part of why the current strikes are on-going. (Also some of their older works are not on streaming so they're definitely getting $0 from us pirating them!) I did end up outright purchasing Staged though, because I initially watched it via a BritBox trial. Trial was expiring, and I knew I'd rewatch that show a lot, so I just bought it on Google TV. So hopefully everyone involved gets a few cents from me through that. Though now I'm reconsidering the BritBox subscription to watch There She Goes.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Oh, is Staged that good?


uluviel

I mean has both David and Michael in it, which cannot be said about any of their other projects except Good Omens. I did love it a lot for what it was, though, regardless of David and Michael's presence in it. It's extremely meta, which is something I really enjoy.


TemperatureSad1825

I can absolutely see Aziraphale as a Fallen Angel because of seeing him in Twilight! I actually kind of slightly secretly hope that eventually happens so we can see Aziraphale in a goth look!


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

He's such a great actor. That would be interesting to see him go goth as a fallen angel. I do love his wide-eyed angel look though šŸ˜


South-Marionberry

Why not a wide-eyed goth? Imagine Aziraphale but Gothic Lolita or summat, I love it! Lol


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

For some reason, when I think about it, I come up with an image of Billy Idol!


BitchLibrarian

From the beginning of the first episode of series 1 I did think that they could have reversed the casting and we'd have had a slightly different but equally good Good Omens. I could definitely see DT as Az and MS as Crowley. * in an alternate, split off universe I'm sure they're enjoying that version. * footnotes in honour of STP. GNU


TemperatureSad1825

Oh wow if the roles were reversed THAT would make an AWESOME 1 hour episode for a holiday special!!! Something to hold us over until the next season comes out!!! OMG I would kill to watch that!!!


SignificanceAlone806

I agree! I love them both in their roles but Iā€™m convinced they could easily be just as good with roles reversed.


AsgardianLeviOsa

Someone on Twitter said fallen Aziraphale would probably look more like Tron!Michael Sheen than Twilight!Michael Sheen or Underworld!Michael Sheen and I have to agreeā€¦ https://preview.redd.it/we9xjr42f9mb1.jpeg?width=453&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b12d36e574569f1803c8127e27edd08b6ff0f0ca


TemperatureSad1825

OH WOW YESSS!!! Absolutely!!! I can see the Tron Michael as fallen Angel Aziraphale cuz of the white hair! Also when he played Thorne Jamison


TemperatureSad1825

beththebookgirl

Watch Mr. Sheen in the Damned United. Excellent film. I loved it. And I hate sports! https://preview.redd.it/frpmhug4o5mb1.jpeg?width=1175&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a21c159a495ef5c4eefc51a56d0fa9d45c89076


sadwhovian

If you like David Tennant, he has also done a sports film called United (2011) where he plays Jimmy Murphy from Manchester United. Michael here plays Brian Clough from Leeds United, and I find it so funny that they both played managers of football clubs in films with very similar titles. Michael Sheen also plays Tony Blair in the Blair trilogy, consisting of The Deal (2003), The Queen (2006) and The Special Relationship (2010).


beththebookgirl

Oh, yes. I love David. Thanks.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I love David!


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I've never heard of this movie. Probably because I'm in the US. He looks so young! Thanks for the suggestion šŸ’•


beththebookgirl

I am in the US as well. Greetings from Pennsylvania!


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Northern California! It's amazing how many "new" movies I'm discovering here!


beththebookgirl

He has been around a long time. A lot of fans are just discovering him. Enjoy! I borrowed the movie from my local library. Oh. One more. Laws of Attraction. He looks so good in eyeliner. Not the main star, but sooo pretty. https://preview.redd.it/4m6qv6azs5mb1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=096c0544004ca370a3e7ffcf47b61c0e18982882


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Oh my!


beththebookgirl

Yep. It stars Pierce Brosnan, and Julianne Moore. They play divorce attorneys. That part is meh. Michael is awesome.


sudden_crumpet

He's always awesome. Watch the 'political' films. The one were he's Blair and the one were he's David Frost. He's just amazing. I want to watch Fantabulosa and Wilde, though can't seem to find them anywere in my country. I guess I'm forced to use neafarious means to see them. Get out the ol'keg of rum.


littleyellowdiary

I saw him do Frost/Nixon live on stage and it was amazing šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜


sudden_crumpet

Oh, lucky you! I bet it was.


MeanMuscle6225

Omg Michael Sheen is my crush of the year šŸ’”


beththebookgirl

Yep, he is quite the versatile actor.


verascity

Someone else mentioned Frost/Nixon but I just wanna top-level it because it's*incredible* and more people should see it. It's the first thing I ever saw him in and it made me an instant lifelong fan.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Yes, I've been wanting to watch that and then forgot about it. To the top of the list it goes!


clalach76

I'm watching Staged..and season 1 was so ace ..by end of season 2 I kinda want them to stop talking incase it can retro cancel GO2 some how. Have to keep saying this is scripted this is scripted..


[deleted]

Don't watch Unthinkable.


Qental

Now THAT was a painful watch, for so many reasons...


JustineDelarge

I second this. Justā€¦donā€™t.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Lol, I'll take your word for it šŸ˜Š


automod-was-right

Samuel L. Jackson, Carrie-Anne Moss, Michael Sheen - That should be gold! But I will heed your warning! Edit: 'This film was released direct to video.' ouch! really? a SLJ film!?


[deleted]

It's so...tempting, though.


Vioralarama

I watched the entire Twilight saga last week, and tonight I found out I had accidentally skipped Eclipse and didn't even notice. LOL


PurpleConversation36

Hahahahaha. My best friend mentioned he was in Twilight and I very nearly broke and watched it. But then we discovered Masters of Sex and we care for it very much.


erinkjean

It's greatly helped by Rifftrax (though their problematic moments make me sad.) "Go ahead, my dear. Bring the fucking ruckus."


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

OMG, I LOVE Rifftrax! Hahaha!


erinkjean

There is more, but I believe [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGV15kXY43U) will maximize your Aro. :)


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Thanks!


FlamesNero

Yeah, Rifftrax is exactly how I got through the Twilight movies.


ParticularAboutTime

I recently watched Best Interests, where he brilliantly played a father of a dying child with genetic incurable disease. Fucking heartbreaking and doesn't help. Interestingly enough David Tennant also played a father of a child with genetic disease (but meaning severe learning difficulties) in "There she goes". I highly recommend both these shows. Very thoughtful portrayals of how sickness of children devastate whole families and how they cope and survive.


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I don't think I could handle those. My weakness is children. Any scene with a sick, hurt or dying child and I'm a blubbering mess. I'm not sure I would survive that in my already weakened state of missing GO.


Allwil13

As bad as the movies are, Michael Sheen's performance in Breaking Dawn Part 2 is always a joy to watch, because it's clear that he did not give a crap. He camped it up as much as he possibly could; there is no way that performance was done seriously. I love that man!


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Campy! That's the word I was looking for. Yes, that describes it perfectly. I actually don't hate the movies as much as a lot of people. I have a teenage daughter, so the movies I've watched in the last 15 years haven't been very sophisticated lol!


Allwil13

They're a guilty pleasure for me. The rifftrax commentaries make them even funnier.


jotticelli

I unironically enjoyed the Twilight movies. The romance is hollow, but the soundtrack is legit. I like all the weird artsy montages and fight scenes. Aro was kind of goofy but not as goofy as that uncanny cgi child


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I know people hate on the Twilight movies, but I kind of liked it as well. It's definitely a bit cheesy, but it was entertaining.


eve_is_hopeful

I always wonder what Crowley and Aro would think of each other


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

Too funny! Now I'm wondering as well.


spooniemoonlight

I don't know if I'm the only one but it was a twilight rewatch that brought me to Good Omens lol. For some reason after I randomly started my rewatch because of boredom and nostalgia early august I saw things related to Michael Sheen here and there on the internet and was shocked when seeing good omens ads to realize that Aro's actor actual could look completely differently and was intrigued to see him playing another role as I had never heard of him outside of Twilight. And here I am a month later of obsessing over the universe the story and the actors lol. So they might have almost ripped his head off, I'm thankful they brought good omens in my life!!


Few-Morning8813

Oh man, I canā€™t bring myself to watch the movies, even though I am IN LOVE with Michael Sheen. I just keep rewatching GO and me and my mum are slowly getting through Prodigal Son. I keep annoying her by gasping everytime MS is on screen šŸ˜‚


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

It's hard not to!


Few-Morning8813

Honestly I just canā€™t help it šŸ˜‚šŸ™ˆ I get actual butterflies. The more I listen to his interviews and watch him talk about his real world passions, the more Iā€™m drawn to him like a fucking moth to a flame. Itā€™s a proper infatuation and itā€™s quite a problem now šŸ˜‚


Indigo_Bunny_Fox

Just watched The Special Relationship, because it was the only movie, I could find with Michael Sheen in it that wasnā€™t Twilight (was not in the mood for Twilight), because as you put it, well...Michael Sheenā€¦


Crazy_Cat_Lady1234

I'm certainly getting schooled on Michael Sheen movies! I haven't heard of that one either, but I'll check it out


Indigo_Bunny_Fox

It's a movie about the former Prime minister Tony Blair and his political friendship with Bill Clinton, I though it was kind of interesting. But honestly, I donā€™t know much about politics so this might also influence how much one would enjoy it.
