Timothy Spall is one of those faces and voices you know so well, but might night be able to recall his name... that is, unless you know Mike Leigh's work. They have collaborated for over 30 years. And this year, premiering at Cannes, the remarkable account of J.M.W. Turner. Spall spoke to David Poland about his life as a character actor, working with Mike Leigh, and his award-winning turn in this film.

Shot in Los Angeles, November 2014
