You notice how the British cherish their older actors and create great roles for them? In America - not so much.


Dench, Smith, McKellen, Jacobi: On a Vanishing Era of Theater Greats
There, sharing a single screen, were four octogenarians — each a knight or a dame and a winner of Tony and Olivier Awards and heaven knows how many other accolades. Gathered for an online conversation in aid of charity, the quartet embodied a lifelong devotion to the theater that has found time for screen renown as well.

I like older actors, I like younger actors. I'm American! But I do not necessarily like older English Actors but I do like some older UK actors. Personal opinion, not awards are determining factor for me.

Well, yeah. The point is to still appreciate them despite their age, or because of their refined talents.

Well, maybe a centenarian would consider an octogenarian a mere kid.
