<p dir="auto">I've seen Mel Smith in Princess Bride and Twelfth Night, and loved him in both. What's he up to now? I see he directed a movie in 2003, but there isn't much beyond that. Will he be in any more movies soon?<br />
I'd also like to say that if Robbie Coltrane quits playing Hagrid in the Harry Potter series, they should cast Mel Smith in his place. He's the only other actor I could picture as Hagrid.</p>

<p dir="auto">Sad.  Collin's Sandwich had to be one of the most well written and well performed sitcom's of the decade.  And yet sorely under-appreciated.  Given the nature of the program one could see them doing at least a few episodes each year (ala AbFab).  There were only a few easily replaceable characters and sets that could have been stored or replaced.<br />
But alas it was not to be and the opportunity is lost forever.  We will never know what Collin's Sandwich could have been we only know what it was, a fine performance.<br />
Thank you for the laughs, Mel Smith.  RIP, RIP.</p>

<p dir="auto">Poor guy. Hope he feels better soon. I see that he recently did some TV comedy thing.
