I don't know...maybe AMD just wants to act. I mean a lot of Hollywood big actors really suck at acting....like Tom Cruise (in my opinion of course). John Simm is an amazing British actor and he isn't and likely will never be big in the U.S. and that's so totally okay. A lot of actors choose NOT to do big Hollywood films for many reasons, including maybe not wanting to be part of the media machine. I think it's pretty limiting to think of actors as successful only if they make it big in Hollywood. I think some of those who fall under the radar are some of the most talented, e.g. Sam Rockwell, Gary Oldman,......again, my opinions, but yeah. And re: AMD's age....it's totally sad that a woman in her late 30s is considered "old". I think AMD is gorgeous and I'm so glad she doesn't plastic surgery and botox the crap out of herself. I think her talent will keep her relevant, even if it's "just" in the UK.
