British actor Eddie Redmayne has spent the summer on the small screen, going from an almost-mute young cave dweller to community-saving sculptor in Starz’s epic miniseries “Pillars of the Earth,” which wraps up Friday night on the cable network.

Although the Londoner has a diverse body of work behind him, his character Jack in “Pillars” has something in common with several of his previous gigs, including his part-Native American Gordy in 2010’s “The Yellow Handkerchief” (opposite Kristen Stewart), and as Ken, Mark Rothko’s assistant in Broadway’s “Red” (with Alfred Molina). They all had a penchant for art.

“You know what, it’s a good point,” the actor said laughing at AccessHollywood.com’s observation. “It’s a hilarious thing: when I look back on the past few years of acting, I clearly have like, periods. That started with a sort of incestuous, sexually confused American stage (‘Savage Grace’ with Julianne Moore), moved into [an] Elizabethan/Tudor period (‘Elizabeth The Golden Age,’ with Cate Blanchett), and has now sort of come through this year into a medieval or quasi-damaged stage, so I don’t know where the f*** we go from here.”

It appears his next period in history will actually be the 20th century, as Eddie plays “a chorus boy,” as he puts it, for HBO’s “The Miraculous Year,” a series on the way from playwright John Logan and Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow.

Starz posted two clips plus the trailer of the last episode of the Pillars of The Earth on its YouTube Channel. Take a look and leave a comment if you want, the series is coming to an end, did you liked it?

In Black Death, screened this year at Toronto After Dark, Sean Bean plays a grizzled dark ages knight who leads a small band of Agincourt veterans, torturers and murderers, plus one world shy monk, on a mission to a investigate claims of a small village that is free from the plague, because a necromancer has been using Satanic power to keep the sickness at bay.
Now, show of hands; how many of you gave out a little “squeeee!” at the words “Sean Bean” and “grizzled dark ages knight”?
Good. Go see this movie. It’s everything you hope it will be. Everyone who isn’t in the “Sean Bean is the one man I would go gay for club” may read on.

Unsurprisingly, Sean Bean is not actually the star of the show here, though he lends the one big name to an otherwise small production. This isn’t unusual for Bean; he’s a grade A talent who’s made a career out of playing backup, and he’s damn good at it. He has the humility and the skill to walk on stage and immediately point the spotlight at everybody else.
OK, so I’m slightly in the club. Maybe first base.

The real star is Osmund, the world shy monk played with passion and aplomb by Eddie Redmayne. Osmund’s journey is the emotional heart of this piece, as he travels away from the security and simplicity of the monastery, and into a dangerous and brutal world fraught with complexity and suffering.
