After being cast in bit parts and cameos--such as The Bill (his first onscreen role) and the beat-boxing Ricky C in Ali G Indahouse--he made his big break as Tim Canterbury in \u003ci\u003eThe Office\u003c\/i\u003e. Freeman was later cast, among other roles, as the mundane character of Arthur Dent in the sci-fi movie adaption of \u003ci\u003eThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy\u003c\/i\u003e, and, labeled an \"everyday\" bloke by journalists, began to run the risk of being stereotyped. However, in 2010 he completely turned his career around when he took on the role of Dr. John Watson in the incredibly successful \u003ci\u003eSherlock\u003c\/i\u003e. His biggest role followed as he portrayed Bilbo Baggins in \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbit \u003c\/i\u003etrilogy and, in recent years, Freeman has shown a dark edge to his thespian skills by portraying Richard III in the West End and Lester Nygaard in the critically acclaimed US drama series \u003ci\u003eFargo\u003c\/i\u003e. An intensely private man, Freeman is in a long-term relationship with the actress Amanda Abbington, whom he met on the set of the 2000 Channel 4 TV movie \u003ci\u003eMen Only \u003c\/i\u003eand who played his on-screen partner in \u003ci\u003eSherlock\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Unexpected Adventures of Martin Freeman \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the rise to fame of this unassuming actor, how he has successfully managed to avoid the pitfalls of stardom, and how he has become one of the greatest actors of his generation. It is a must-read for any fan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Daniels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784183377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784183370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e John Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Neil Daniels","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984300278015,"sku":"9781784183370","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77317029-fdfc-4b28-b746-36f9df1fc89d.jpg?v=1683271596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-unexpected-adventures-of-martin-neil-daniels-9781784183370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
