“Some of the best actors who ever worked were working before 1928.” Paul McGann on his love for silent cinema

PAUL McGann may be best known for playing The Monocled Mutineer, and appearing in Withnail and I and Doctor Who, but yesterday in Bo’ness he took on another role – that of silent film narrator. The 62-year-old actor, last seen on ITV’s Hillsborough drama Anne in January, was in town to provide narration for L’Homme du large, a 1920 French drama directed by Marcel L’Herbier, which was the closing gala film of this year’s Hippodrome Silent Film Festival.
