He's marvellous as an actor and human being. I became a fan through North and South.

They couldn’t have given it to a kinder more talented human being. Been a HUGE fan for some time. Went to New York just to see him in Love,Love,Love. He didn’t disappoint. He’s just amazing. ❤️

Every honor bestowed upon him is richly deserved. Such an amazing person. He changed my life with his portrayals of John Thornton in Elizabeth Gaskell's epic novel North and South, as well as Dr. Astrov in Uncle Vanya, a play adapted from one of Chekhov's greatest stories. I know this sounds droll but my life has been truly uplifted by Richard Armitage. I wish him nothing but the very best all of life has to offer.

Wasn't exepecting them to quote Thorin for his intro. How touching. :')

Always liked Richard as an actor and growing up in Huncote and having Mrs O'Leary as a teacher as well I can relate to what he is saying about her voice. It's always nice to hear when he's back visiting his family in the village. It really isn't a front or show, he's as genuine as it gets.

I first saw Richard as Gisburne in Robin Hood and am currently enjoying his mellifluous voice reading the Jack and Evans books by Joy Ellis. He is a very versatile actor.

Such a soothing voice, he should do more audiobooks!

Thanks sir for this tribute. RICHARD ARMITAGE is a very brilliant actor. I like your words to describe his talent. Im touched by R ARMITAGE's speech about leicester's contribution and his awesome teacher Mrs O LEARY. I believe in you is wonderful

Always the King Under The Mountain

Love Richard Armitage !!He is my most favorite British Actor!!!

Me encanta lo que dice y cómo lo dice. Es adorable este hombre, aparte de guapo, estupendo actor, voz preciosa, manos bonitas, sonrisa irresistible, ojos hipnotizadores...no termino...

What an honor to receive this nomination and with these beautiful words Paying tribute to our beloved Mr. Richard Armitage You Sir deserves all the fame Thank you for everything you give to Us It is only right that he should receive this fame God bless ❤💋💋💋

He is a male nightingale, a man with a velvety voice and playful smile...

Wow, I always admired him, I hope to achive my own doctorate next year, so really happy for him... ahahah

One of my favorite actors. I agree with what was said about his acting style...he really does almost sink into his role...I have seen him do so many varied roles...all so different. I was thinking he is still too young to do King Lear but I could see this in the future for him. He seems a nice person...unassuming....

Wonderful actor and such an accomplished reader for we audiobook addicts. Well done Mr Armitage!

I am a HUGE fan of Richard. Such a nice talented fan. He deserves it.

👏👏👏навсегда в сердце Мр. Торнтон созданный Ричардом 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ Поздравляю со степенью!!!

I like his nervousness at the beginning, he's so authentic. Brilliant

What a gentleman.

Thank you for the lovely words.

Una persona polifacetica, excelente actor, musico, fantastico narrador y un buen escritor, ademas de una persona humilde y honesta.

У Ричарда удивительный контакт с залом. Даже здесь чувствуется любовь людей и их тепло к Ричарду Армитиджу. Они по - доброму реагируют на слова Ричарда и в полном восхищении от него. Люди любят его. И заслуженно.

Talented and charismatic actor and wonderful man ❤

Me, too.

"... in recognition of **their** outstanding achievement." Shouldn't that read "... in recognition of **his** outstanding achievement" ? Ironic, coming from a "Doctor of Letters" award ceremony.

we are a sad lot
