Which actor plays Mr Curry in the 2014 film Paddington?

The story behind the answer

Peter Capaldi plays Mr Curry in the 2014 film Paddington.

Mr Curry is the Browns’ neighbor and a frequent source of suspicion and comic friction. Unlike the welcoming Browns, he is often irritated by Paddington and quick to blame him when something goes wrong. Capaldi’s performance emphasizes the character’s grumpy, self-important nature.

Peter Capaldi is a Scottish actor and filmmaker widely known for playing the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who and Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It. His appearance in Paddington places a familiar television performer in a family-film supporting role.

The cast includes several other prominent British actors, which can make the names difficult to distinguish. Jim Broadbent plays Mr Gruber, while Hugh Bonneville plays Henry Brown. Capaldi’s character is specifically Mr Curry, the neighboring resident.
