gurdymonkeyKevin McKidd, who plays the brooding Vorenus on HBO's "Rome" is a man of many talents. He also appears in the 1999 film "Topsy Turvy" as a dandyish, corset-wearing tenor.

Other familiar faces in the cast include Jim Broadbent, Andy Serkis (Gollum) and Shirley Henderson (HP's Moaning Myrtle) as a Victorian bad girl soprano.
This was a fun movie in a lot of ways. Gilbert and Sullivan operas are silly and sublime at the same time and TT captures that, as well as the trainwreck collision of Japanese culture viewed through Victorian sensibilities that resulted in "The Mikado."
