Michael Sheen puts acting on hold... for politics

One of Britain's leading actors, famous for his roles as Tony Blair, David Frost and Brian Clough, is putting his career on hold. Rather than treading the boards or appearing on the silver screen, Michael Sheen wants to focus his efforts on politics - specifically, fighting against the rise of the far-right. Following in the footsteps of comedian Eddie Izzard and actress Glenda Jackson, he describes his decision to take his activism to the next level as a "natural progression".
