passion for industrial history: Mark Williams' Big Bangs on the history of explosives, a follow-up to previous series Mark Williams on the Rails, Industrial Revelations and More Industrial Revelations. Interviewed in 2014 by the Lancashire Evening Post, when asked if some people still saw him as a comedy actor, Williams replied, "Well, it's only a few people in the BBC. In America, they see me as a major British character actor, but unfortunately, the BBC is pretty parochial and people are institutionalised here." Personal life Williams was married, and has a daughter from a previous relationship, born in 2002. In a 2005 interview Williams said he was a supporter of Aston Villa F.C. Despite playing Father Brown on television, Williams does not consider himself to be a religious man. In an interview with MuggleNet, he revealed: "I was brought up in the Church of England, so that’s part of my culture. But I don’t practice my religion. Father Brown believes in redemption, and he believes that we're all God's children, and he's a man of faith, so I respect him.” Filmography Film Television Video games Theme park rides Voice-over Power Rangers Operation Overdrive - Big Mouth Monster (episode "Both Sides Now") Merlin - The Goblin (episode "Goblin's Gold") Power Rangers Samurai - Eyescar (episode "The Rescue") Lego Dimensions - Arthur Weasley We're Going on a Bear Hunt - Dad Early Man - Barry References External links 1959 births Living people 20th-century English male actors 21st-century English male actors Alumni of Brasenose College, Oxford British male television writers English male film actors English male stage actors English male television actors English male video game actors English male voice actors English television writers Male actors from Worcestershire Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Screen Actors Guild Award winners People from Bromsgrove The Fast Show
