I never thought of him as English. I thought of him as Not American. Maybe the parts he played made me think he was not English.
BTW, you give great clues, I really like them. I had to go back to see if you were the one giving clues for "Girl, dead" about 10 pages back. When I asked if she was American
you answered North American. I racked my brain for a half hour thinking Canadian or Mexican. I did Canadian first and couldn't come up with a single thought. Thought about Mexican for 10 seconds and figured I know no one. So I started thinking North American could mean before America, and that lead to only two possibilities. I didn't feel like giving clues so I asked "Native American" to make sure I had it correct. The subtlety of "North American" was just so good. Same with this person but maybe a little less subtle.
