Yep, the physical improv scene was very funny - certainly a taste of where he was headed with his Doctor ‘always on the run’ Who. Thank you for posting. Always a delight.
I've been told by a very reputable source he's a LOT funnier than anything he's ever committed to film. I'd love to see him do a stand up routine (okay, my brain just filled the rest of this in with "in L.A."....sorry not sorry I'm an old) someday. And thank you for the compliment!
I thought 'Rex Is Not Your Lawyer' was a good showcase for his stand-up routine... oh, wait. In all seriousness, he had great chemistry more with Jerry O'Connell than Abigail Spencer, even with that *ahem* American accent. I can see some of his roles where he has had zero 'oomph' with the actors he's working with, which makes it all the more special when he does. So by himself? That would be an outstanding idea!
'Rex' was definitely a unique point in his career, as it was the first and arguably only time he really took going over to the US to establish himself with any seriousness. His previous ('LA Without A Map') and later ('Fright Night') attempts - if you consider them as such - didn't seem to hold as much heft as 'Rex' did: if 'Rex' had been picked up and became popular, it would've warranted a much longer and more permanent stay in the US.
Thank you! It seemed the only part of the short where he got into physical comedy, so it seemed reasonable to assume that was the place he went a bit off script. :D

I completely agree with you about the part where David was allowed to improvised.
