 | | The ridiculously flexible and totally convincing Robert Carlyle is short - about 5ft 8in - he is skinny, and he walks cockily, like a chancer, arms swinging side to side. |
 | | Carlyle's role in Carla's Song, as big-hearted Glasgow bus driver George, who falls in love with Nicaraguan refugee Carla (first-time actor Oyanka Cabezas) and goes back to Central America with her, was made real, he says, by Loach's directing techniques: shooting chronologically, only revealing the script page by page. |
 | | Carlyle grew up with his father, a painter and decorator who moved around a lot but was based in Glasgow. |
