The Homeland star, 53, noted that the politician bears many similarities to the late King when it comes to institutional reform, after the monarch's Parliament overhaul gave him complete power over the country. The actor has reprised his role for the long-awaited third and final series of Wolf Hall, titled The Mirror And The Light, which kicked off on Sunday.
