He looks so young in that scene! I thought his performance in Prime Suspect was fine. His role was emotionally demanding in that he had to express great suffering while not going over the top and looking like a fool.

I read that Spielberg saw him in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia. That makes a little more sense, since his role was very small in Prime Suspect. Either way, he chose wisely (sorry..I couldn't resist another Spielberg reference).

Look out for A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia starring Fiennes as T.E. Lawrence. This excellent made-for-TV was made in 1990, predating even Prime Suspect. I cannot recall him in PS, but he plays the part of Lawrence terribly well.

Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia
showed Fiennes' ability to master difficult foreign languages. I found it intriguing that 2 great American characters in
Quiz Show- Charles van Doren and his famous father - were played by
British
actors (RF and Paul Scofield).
Seeing Fiennes in a bit role in an early PS1 is a real bonus.

It's always a treat rediscovering a famour actor in a minor early role. i saw this (PS1) when it first aired and had no idea Fiennes was in it until I picked up the DVD set this year.
now I do it just to watch their f-n' expression change. -

I've only just seen this for the first time, and I have to agree, Acapulqueno.
He was OK, but nothing more. But I thought he came across as inexperienced more than a bad actor.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment. -

I just remember he pronounced the victim's name "Kah-ren", while everyone else was calling her "Karen" (as in rhymes with baron). I thought "what's up with this guy and names?" He spells his name "Ralph" with an "L", then pronounces it "Raeph".
