** Spoiler Alert, Proceed With Caution!**

When we reviewed “The Mist” on last week’s show, I raved about this ‘B Movie’ horror flick with the wonderfully brutal ending. My praise extends to the studio execs. Who allowed Frank Darabont to commit so fully to a final scene that deviates from Stephen King’s novella.

But on the show I didn’t have time to comment on how great I thought Toby Jones was in the movie. He’s a British actor who I first became aware of when I saw “Infamous,” the other Truman Capote movie. He was marvelous, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman had just won the Oscar for his portrayal of the writer, so there was no hope for Toby or the film.

Then he popped up in “The Painted Veil” playing a wonderfully deviant ex-pat living in China. His role was brief but memorable. And now as meek supermarket employee Ollie in “The Mist” he brings a breath of fresh air to one of many stock characters that inhabit the store.

He’s a quiet, dweeby guy who we imagine is often downtrodden, but he surprises everyone in the film when we find out that he was a firearms champion with hidden reserves of bravery. Of course, by the rules of horror films, we all know that he will sacrifice himself to save others and won’t make it to the final credit roll. R.I.P Ollie.

Next up for Toby, he plays Swifty Lazar in “Frost/Nixon.”
