Once Upon a Time's Robert Carlyle led the cast of The Full Monty alongside Mark Addy, William Snape, Steve Huison, Tom Wilkinson, Paul Barber and Hugo Speer. The film received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike for its deeper exploration of a variety of themes, including fatherhood, depression, body image and suicide, and garnered four Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score, going on to win the latter. While The Full Monty has gone on to be adapted into a Broadway musical and stage play in the 25 years since its release, it's now about to find new life.
