The only time I remember seeing Gordon Warnecke (Omar) since then is in an interview about My Beautiful Laundrette. I seem to recall he'd put on a lot of weight since his youth. But looking at IMDB, he seems to have kept reasonably busy (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0912376/). I hadn't realised he did Doctor Who!
One thing we liked about it was that it was romantic without being sentimental; there was something about the gay theme which meant they could go much further in that direction without turning me off with soppiness.
I think I saw Daniel Day-Lewis in about four things before I managed to recognise him; I knew he was the same actor, but he seemed to look completely different every time. That doesn't apply now; whether I just got sufficiently accustomed to his face to recognise him, or whether they decided he was such a draw there was no point not making him recognisable, I don't know.
With me, I suppose, the Feinstein shock is the other way round, like seeing a middle-aged Warnecke!
