He really needs to be working, doesn't?
That's the thing with a lot of (working) actors in the UK. A few of them become movie stars but they still working actors!

It’s pretty scary when deaths seem to come in waves. In the first months of 2005, there was a death connected to someone in my life every 2-3 weeks. I was afraid to get out of bed in the morning because I never knew who would be next. Among them: a former co-worker who had become a very close friend (her cancer had been misdiagnosed for years because it was very rare in women her age), and my uncle (who we thought had recovered from his heart surgery). When it was announced that the pope had died, we all agreed that the 2005 wave of deaths was finally over. That happened to my father's family in the early 90s, sibling after sibling and then my grandmother. Just a month ago, I received the news of the surprising death of a neighbor followed (less than a hour later) by the news that the kid of my cousin also died. Extremely depressing day.

What I like especially is that "working actor" means a hugely more varied definition for UK and European actors than it does in the US. The US is starting to catch up in that reguard with others but it still lags behind. Actors still get labeled "TV actor" and it is still more difficult for them to break out into the "movie actor" realm. And often if they do make the switch they are reluctant to go back to TV work. OTOH, UK actors switch freely between stage, TV and cinema work all the time. There seems to be very little stigma with doing TV work. And rightly so. I find a lot of TV work MUCH more creative than a lot of cinematic material. Case in point - Patrick Melrose and The Hollow Crown are far beyond many of the productions presented on the big screen.

Also a lot of Americans don't understand that actors like him see acting like a job. I think they think on actors like stars/almost mythical figures. So someone who do a lot of things and accept all kind of characters in all kind of media is seen like something odd. The "why is he in everything?" could easily answered with a "why you go every day to your work?"

I think TV is becoming a much more acceptable medium for “movie actors” these days. In the past doing TV was seen as a retrograde step for movie actors but in recent years the quality and prestige of many TV productions has equalled if not surpassed film. So increasing numbers of big name movie stars are now doing TV series.
As for BC, I think he just loves doing his job in whatever medium the role happens to be in.

This, and he always elevates any project he’s in, no matter what the medium. Example: The Simpsons. 😁
