Tom Wilkinson was in a lot of TV shows, but I don't recall him in the
"Singing Detective".

Michael Gambon, who died last year, had the title role in The Singing Detective.
As I recall, he was able to bring a tremendous talent for crankiness to the role
due his character having a nasty skin disease
..
Gambon played a lot of characters well, including Dumbledore in most of
the Harry Potter movies. By coincidence, the creator of The Singing Detective
was Dennis Potter, no relation to Harry.
