Art Quote by Adrian Lester
“In 2007 I took a two-year break from shooting the BBC series 'Hustle,' in which I played a big-time con artist. I'd been making the series for four years and I was afraid of being typecast. For a change I got involved in a series called 'Bonekickers,' about a team of archaeologists.”
