Flint, Bonny

So huh, Toby Stephens is Maggie Smith's son. And Robert Stephens', who was apparently a big deal in British acting, but whom is unknown to me. (I'll check this film out to get acquainted with him, I think.) Anyway, born from acting nobility.

For her part, Clara Paget (Anne Bonny) is literally nobility, her father being a marquess. Which is pretty amusing.

If you haven't seen Toby Stephens' Twitter, you're missing some quality snark. He gives no shits and has pretty good politics.

Oh nice!!

Also: On a thread which you indirectly led me to:

> (Toby Stephens, who is a Trekkie to his core, has suggested that "Raise the t'gallants!" is the Black Sails equivalent of "Warp speed!")

Toby Stephens is Maggie Smith's son

I did not know that. I wonder if it explains my constant checking IMDb to figure out what I've seen him in before.
