 The Big Interview: Stephen Tompkinson | London Theatre Guide
Stephen Tompkinson is best known for being a nice man who fell in love with a nice Irish girl and did nice things to nice people in Ireland.
It tells the story of Mortimer Brewster (played by a suitably wide-eyed Tompkinson), who visits his elderly aunts to inform them of his impending wedding. Upon arrival, Brewster is somewhat disturbed to discover that these apparently docile biddies are in fact mass-murderers.
It is with some relief that Tompkinson confirms that Michael Richards is one of the handful of people in the English-speaking world not to have seen him in Ballykissangel, and thus had no preconceptions about his personality or acting style.

Stephen Tompkinson (Brassed Off, Drop the Dead Donkey) plays Pieter a gay civil servant living a quiet, solitary life in Amsterdam.
Lukis has the showiest role, bristling with nervous energy, and Bonneville is equally convincing, managing to make the ruthless Jan momentarily sympathetic, supplying a real sense of the man he used to be, the man he could almost have been.

 Ananova - Hotel Splendide (Cert 15, 98 mins)
Reminiscent of the nightmarish fantasy worlds of Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, The City Of Lost Children) or Roald Dahl, Terence Gross's stylistically bold comedy is something of an acquired taste, juggling slapstick with elements of the absurd, tinged with the grotesque.
Collette is luminous, standing out in her grim and gloomy surroundings, while Craig provides an excellent comic and romantic foil, getting his hands mucky in the kitchen preparing a stomach-churning array of herring-based starters and main courses.
Tompkinson just about manages to prevent his weasely hotel manager from straying into the realms of caricature, and Cartlidge wrings every emotion out of her caged lovebird, who is secretly in love with one of the guests, the enigmatic Sergei, but cannot declare her feelings for fear of angering her brother Dezmond.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Oktober
Stephen Tompkinson stars as our enzymatic miracle man, and he doesn't make a terribly memorable impression.
The story (based on director Stephen Gallagher's own book, which I can't find anywhere), is slow and plodding.
Even when the manhunt for Tompkinson is on, the tale revolves around the kind of silly coincidences and pat plot points you see in every made-for-TV movie ever made.

 The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Arsenic and Old Lace
There are stars of Coronation Street, Seinfeld, Dangerfield, and, together in Stephen Tompkinson, Drop the Dead Donkey and Ballykissangel.
Stephen Tompkinson rushes around in this main role but seems badly miscast, almost as if he was dropped in from another play.
The first act is very slow and only really comes to life at its end as the two stars of the show make an appearance.

Rattle of a Simple Man stars Michaelle Collins and Stephen Tompkinson and when the production opened on 11 May 2004 The Daily Mail described it as "a sensitive, funny and eventually moving study of two lonely poeple struggling to find common ground...
And Tompkinson is terrific as the gauche Percy." The Times observed that "the play, retaining its original early Sixties setting in John Caird’s revival, may have once been edgy but it now feels as quaint as the sight of a football fan wearing a rosette rather than a replica shirt."
The Savoy Opera Season is being presented by Raymond Gubbay CBE and Sir Stephen Waley-Cohen who said: "The opening season of The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro has been very well received and will continue to run as planned until 19 June.

 Action TV Online - Oktober episode guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Notes : Stephen Gallagher's first work for television was Warriors Gate, a Season 18 story for Doctor Who, a series which he returned to two years later with Terminus.
With location filming taking place in the Swiss Alps, France and London, Oktober was definitely one of the most visually-appealing pieces of telefantasy to have been produced in the UK in the 1990s, although the location work wasn't without its problems as a number of the crew fell ill while working at altitude in Switzerland.
With Stephen Tompkinson taking the lead role of Jim Harper, the series received a respectable level of publicity before transmission, although alterations to the ITV schedule saw it moved back from its intended start in the February and consequently a number of magazine articles were caught out.

 Rattle of a Simple Man, a CurtainUp London review
Unfortunately she is not so good at the comic rhythms needed for the rest of the play, although, to be fair, she isn't really helped by Charles Dyer's often clunky script.
Stephen Tompkinson, an actor with superb comic skills, is much better as the naïve football fan from Manchester, out of his depth in wicked London.
He moves with ease from rattle-waving drunken bravado to hung-over remorse to tender vulnerability, hinting at the tragedy of an unfulfilled life.

Even though two of the most prominent names in the cast are rising stars Ewan McGregor and Tara Fitzgerald, their performances are among the least noteworthy.
The best acting turn belongs to Pete Postlethwaite, whose Danny is poignant and proud, followed closely by such British stalwarts as Jim Carter, Philip Jackson, Peter Martin, and Stephen Tompkinson.
