Huge fan.

I've been a fan of his for some time now, especially his turn in the BBC drama The Hour (season 1 was brilliant television. Season 2 not quite as good a story, but still entertaining with great performances). I see a lot of hate on here for him being Q in Daniel Craig's James Bond films, but I think it was excellent casting. Glad he had more to do in Spectre. If Craig leaves after this last one, I hope they keep him as Q, but I expect a complete recast if he leaves. Whatever happens, I hope Wishaw keeps getting great roles!

I agree! And I think he's great as Q!
The Hour 1 was excellent.
There was supposed to be a third Hour series but funding was cut to the BBC.
The In The Heart of the Sea trailer was played before Spectre. This one has Whishaw as Melville in it.
He's a wonderful actor.

He's a refreshing addition to this franchinse. I didn't know what to think of his contribution at first but now I really dig him and what he did with the character.
