And rightly so. His portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything was…I was going to say incredible but it was actually the opposite: completely credible. You felt you were watching the professor himself, not an actor pretending. So unlike, say, Michael Caine where you feel you’re watching Michael Caine first and whatever character he’s supposed to playing second. Redmayne, on the other hand, was never Just Like Eddie. He was Just like Stephen.
