(BTW: Jericho is played by Kevin McNally, whom I first saw as a young man in I, Claudius where he played Castor, aka the one offed by his wife so she can have more sex with Patrick Stewart, and then decades later encountered again in the Pirates of the Carribean movies, where he plays Mr. Gibbs.)

I am delighted he's working! I almost certainly also saw him first in I, Claudius and have been fond of him wherever he's turned up since. He's wonderful in Turn: Washington's Spies (2014–17), which I recommend to anyone who can deal with its structural issues (in case I have not delivered this rant to you before, the show really doesn't find its footing until the first-season finale and then its last season is the super-stripped-down result of word-of-God network interference, so it is essentially two magnificent seasons of morally and narratively complex eighteenth-century espionage bracketed by two much simpler seasons, one of which seems to take forever to get its act together and the other of which goes by so fast you could get up for a drink and miss the Battle of Yorktown, but my formative experience of long-form TV was Babylon 5 and so I was frustrated but fine).
