from the Sunday Express:
No stranger to the twisted and surreal, the League of Gentlemen's Reece Shearsmith's latest venture could top them all. "I am in a new series called Modern Men. It's a sitcom about a group of men in the 1980's," said the actor, who is currently starring as Leo Bloom in The Producers . "I had to grow mutton chops and I looked like a fool for the whole period we were filming, I couldnt wait to shave them off." Could it be a Victorian Men Behaving Badly with beards?
