He's one of the busiest actors in television.
But Tom Hollander once had a different plan to reach success, considering letting himself go to become a 'fat actor' so he would always get work.
Speaking to Ruthie's Table podcast, with River Cafe owner Ruth Rogers, the White Lotus star said: 'I did sometimes think, I'll get to a certain age and then I'll give up trying to not be fat and then I'll just become a fat actor because fat actors, they never stop working.'
He also admitted that he has a 'little bit of a compulsion to overeat,' adding that he gains weight in between jobs and then loses it before taking on a new role.
'There's always room for a fat actor - Orson Welles or the dear Richard Griffiths, you think they're loved,' said Mr Hollander, who is 5'5'.
