Derek Jacobi as Bishop Myriel
When Bishop Myriel shows Jean Valjean the first shred of kindness he's experienced in 20 years, despite Valjean's attempt to rob him, he sets Valjean on the path to redemption that sets the tone for Les Misérables. The vital role is played by Derek Jacobi, who has commanded the screen for over 50 years in such films as Gladiator, Gosford Park, and The King's Speech, as well as in shows such as Dr. Who and Last Tango in Halifax. MASTERPIECE fans may recognize him from I, Claudius, as well as from Cafael, Little Dorrit, and The Wyvern Mystery.
