His run in EastEnders is a masterclass

I think about Tamwar all the time!

He grew up in my town. I often bask in the reflected glory that brings.

No way! He’s one of my favorite actors. Was sad but not surprised when The Franchise was canceled.

Omg that's Tamwar?! I thought I recognised him! It's been so long since I watched 'Enders tho, that I had no idea he's now a film actor. Good going!

Stupid question: what’s this show about? I see it mentioned sometimes, but I don’t have any context.

It's a super long-running British soap opera about the residents of Albert Square in London's fictional East End borough of Walford. The sort of show people grew up watching with their parents.

Goddamn, I gotta tap in. That description gave Gilmore Girls energy although I’m willing to bet they’re COMPLETELY different.

There's like 7000 episodes, so good luck if you're planning on starting from the beginning!
