I'm wondering what his vibe with Craig would have been like, because it's that chemistry that sells that relationship so hard
It's possible they would have cast someone different, since he was the first person attached to the project. But CE has had amazing chemistry with almost everyone he's ever worked with (as an actor, his focus is exceptional, and he manages to get good performances out of a lot of very young and inexperienced actors), and the homoerotic subtext in both Othello with Eamonn Walker and 28 Days Later with Cillian Murphy wasn't very "sub".
I think I need to see Chris in more things -- I've just seen him in Doctor Who and Heroes.
Ah - I recommend The Second Coming and Revengers Tragedy for bravado over vulnerability; and Let Him Have It for unadorned vulnerability. Possibly Shallow Grave, which was the first time I ever saw him. He went from tightly wound accountant to sexy psychopath with nary a bump in characterization - I'd never seen anyone control that kind of arc like that before.
