Which means Americans will probably be seeing a lot of clips from The Equalizer.
I have to admit, I didn’t see that much of the show, as I was living overseas for much of its run. But I did like the idea of a middle-aged British ex-spy playing vigilante hero, if only because generally, the only Brit accents you ever heard in American prime time TV shows were either on public television or people playing “foreign” villains. So The Equalizer was pretty gutsy by US network standards.
For me, though, here’s how I’ll remember Woodward: as Sgt Howie in one of the creepiest movies ever made.
Man on fire,
This is dF
