As the cherry on top, Redmayne has that skill often lacking in Americans and actors alike: the ability to hold his own in a conversation. Look no further than his haunting performance on the Broadway stage in last year’s art hit Red, for which he won a Tony for his performance as Mark Rothko’s assistant, or his pitch-perfect disaffected American brat as Julianne Moore’s son and lover in the twisted 2007 drama Savage Grace.

But while Redmayne steals the movie out from under his costars-including Kenneth Branagh doing his best Laurence Olivier-and has proved his period mettle in several other projects, he is also an actor of impressive range that extends far beyond the physical and psychological territory of stiff British masterpieces. Based on the memoirs of Colin Clark, the film stars Redmayne as a smart young gofer working on the Pinewood Studios set of The Prince and the Showgirl in 1956, during which time he has an odd, brief romance of sorts with a manic-depressive Marilyn Monroe (played with plenty of peroxide by Michelle Williams). And certainly, the 29-year-old Londoner can act his way through any time period, as he makes clear in Simon Curtis’s new film My Week With Marilyn, which will be released this fall. Take one look at the ginger-haired actor Eddie Redmayne and this thought comes to mind: he’s right out of central casting for lovely British period dramas in the Merchant Ivory tradition. PEOPLE either FIND IT REPULSIVE or FIND IT really INTERESTING and GET ENGAGED IN IT. THAT’S like A LOT OF the MOVIE work I’VE DONE. IN ENGLAND WE have THIS SAYING about MARMITE: PEOPLE either LOVE IT or HATE IT.
