I have always liked Ray Winstone as an actor, but I didn\u2019t really know much about him as a person until I came across this interview<\/a> with him that The Telegraph<\/i> ran today.<\/p>\n

And now I think I like him even more.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Winstone \u2014 who is currently promoting the British miniseries The Trials of Jimmy Rose<\/i> \u2014 talks about his family, his politics and his Cockney roots. (Among other things, we learn that this quintessential \u201ctough guy\u201d is \u201csurrounded by women\u201d at home, including his wife of 37 years and their three daughters.)<\/p>\n

The story also refers to an accident Winstone had while shooting the original pilot for Of Kings and Prophets<\/a><\/i>, in which he plays King Saul:<\/p>\n

But now aged 58, he wonders if he\u2019s getting too long in the tooth for the actor\u2019s life \u2013 he\u2019s still nursing a broken vertebra caused while riding a horse<\/a> in Kings and Prophets, and admits his tolerance for some of the \u201carseholes\u201d in the business diminishes by the day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alas, Winstone\u2019s injury might have been for naught. The Of Kings and Prophets<\/i> pilot is being completely reshot<\/a> now that the show is set to premiere on ABC next year, and it is possible that the original pilot might never be seen by the public.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping Winstone doesn\u2019t retire all that<\/i> soon, though.<\/p>\n

Check out the rest of the Telegraph<\/i>\u2019s interview with Winstone here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
