James Fleet: 'Frederick's just like Hugo' (VIDEO)
22/10/2008 - 11:42
Little Dorrit star James Fleet has revealed the character he plays in the costume drama is very similar to Hugo Horton in The Vicar of Dibley.
James claims that Frederick Dorrit is very much like the bumbling parishioner he plays in Richard Curtis's hit BBC sitcom.
Speaking exclusively to whatsontv.co.uk, James said of Frederick: "It's actually Hugo with long grey hair. There are lots of similarities; they're both nice and both slightly weak."
But James admitted that he'd quite like to play a Bond villain, were he to be offered the part. "If anybody's watching, who's casting a Bond villain, then yes," he said.
