Acting is a competitive field. If you really want that big part, sometimes you have to be a bit pushy to get your name in the ring.

Or, if you’re Paul Bettany, you could just send Ron Howard a hilariously desperate text.

“Have you ever spent long winter evenings wondering why you’re not in the Star Wars franchise?” texted Bettany. “I have.”

Dryden Vos is a crime boss, and also the name of Paul Bettany’s character in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The new Prince Philip has arrived.

Paul Bettany is “being lined up” to play the famously gaffe-prone royal in Netflix’s The Crown, Variety reported on Saturday.

He would replace Matt Smith, who portrayed a younger version of Philip in the show’s first two seasons.

Bettany would join Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter — set to play Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Margaret, respectively — in the cast. At least a portion of Season 3 is set in the 1970s, and will include, among other things, the breakup of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon. (It doesn’t count as a spoiler if it already happened IRL, right?) Read more…
