Where Have I Seen Them Before?: Linus Roache

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip

Every once in a while, there’s a tune on television you just can’t get out of head.  What is the name of that song?  Why can’t I stop singing it?  Other times, there’s a familiar face you know you’ve seen before.  What movie was he/she in? He looks like someone I went to school with!

Just recently I was forced to hit the computer after watching the new and improved season of Law and Order.  I was obsessed with finding out who the new man in the DA’s office was.  I had a hard time getting the name Sam Shepard out of my head, even though I knew it wasn’t him.  I simply had to end the mystery before I could go to bed.

Thankfully, I found out I wasn’t crazy.  The actor had starred in one of my favorite gut-wrenchingly romantic movies:  1997’s The Wings of the Dove.  Linus Roache was the man who had captured the heart of two women in that film (Helena Bonham Carter and Alison Elliott) and many others in the theater like me.

But if period dramas are not your thing, there’s a chance you might have seen him in another little project:  Batman Begins.  Roache played Christian Bale’s deceased father, Thomas Wayne.
