Actor Stanley Tucci is making his BBC drama debut on tonight’s Inside Man, and judging by the synopsis, fans should prepare to see a new side to the star.
The 61-year-old actor has played comical characters in hit movies including Easy A, Maid In Manhattan and who can forget the moment when his cocktail-making videos broke the internet during lockdown.
Inside Man follows Stanley’s character Jefferson Grieff – a murderer who uses his old skills as a criminologist to solve crimes from behind bars – who gets entangled with a local vicar (David Tennant), a journalist (Lydia West), and a maths teacher (Dolly Wells).
Speaking about the complex role, Stanley said: ‘What attracted me to the project was the group of people assembled – Steven Moffat, [showrunner] director Paul McGuigan who I had worked with before, and I love Steven’s writing.
‘I loved the Sherlocks and I think he is an amazing writer. I think David Tennant is just a great, great actor and Lydia and Dolly too – it’s an amazing group of people.’
We guarantee that Stanley’s portrayal will have us hooked – but is Stanley married, and does he have children?

Felicity and Stanley have been married since 2012 and live in Barnes in southwest London.
The couple have two children – son Matteo Oliver, who was born in 2015, and daughter Emilia Giovanna, who was born in 2018.
Stanley also has three children from his first marriage to Kathryn Spath-Tucci, who died from breast cancer in 2009.
Appearing on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast, the 61-year-old recalled the time they met Felicity at the Devil Wears Prada 2006 premiere.

‘We found out just before I did that movie that she had breast cancer,’ he told the host. ‘So I did the movie, and she started treatments, and then we had the premiere, and then she was alive for four more years after that.
‘But that’s where I met Emily and we became friends.

‘And, actually, Felicity – Emily’s sister, my wife – she and Kate talked at the premiere that night and I have a photo of them together, which is so odd.
‘And then many years later, I ended up marrying Felicity.’
Inside Man airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
