Page "Michael Sheen" Paragraph 19

In 2010, Sheen had a supporting role in the science fiction sequel Tron: Legacy.

Referring to his David Bowie-esque character, Sheen has said, " I was paid to show off basically ".

The Wall Street Journal found little fun in the movie " except for a gleefully campy turn by Michael Sheen " while The New York Times said he " shows up to deliver the closest thing to a performance in the movie ".

The Daily Telegraph felt his " lively hamming as a cane-swishing nightclub owner merely underlines how impersonal – how inhuman – much else here is ".

However, USA Today felt his " scenery-chewing performance ... is meant as comic relief, but this movie thunders along so seriously that the attempt at humor feels jarring ".

In other 2010 film work, Sheen provided the voices for characters in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and Disney's Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue and appeared as a terrorist in Unthinkable.

On television, Sheen's performance in the third installment of Peter Morgan's Blair trilogy, The Special Relationship, was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor – Miniseries or Movie.

The HBO film examined the " special relationship " between the US and the UK in the political era of Blair and Bill Clinton.

It was the sixth collaboration between Sheen and Peter Morgan ; both parties have since said they will not work together again " for the foreseeable future ".

Sheen also made a guest appearance in four episodes of NBC's 30 Rock as Wesley Snipes, a love interest for Tina Fey's Liz Lemon.

Fey, the sitcom's star and creator, has said that " he was so funny and delightful to work with ".

In November 2010, Sheen received the BAFTA Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year.
