Offscreen, Coogan stutters a bit: it’s unclear if it’s a tic or if he’s parsing his words as carefully as possible. 



He’s just as cautious with his career since Partridge’s success quickly turned him into paparazzi bait. "In England, Partridge created an albatross effect," he explains. "It was a critical success and hugely popular. Even stupid people liked it: they call me 'Alan' in the street." To Americans, however, he’s best known for his nervy tour de force in 2002’s 24 Hour Party People, playing Tony Wilson, the real-life impresario who put [Manchester’s music scene] on the map thanks to his patronage of revolutionary post-punk heroes Joy Division, New Order and Happy Mondays. 



Anglophiles might have also caught his brilliantly edgy BBC sitcom "Saxondale"—about a cynical ex-Jethro Tull roadie-turned-bug exterminator in mid-life crisis—and his turns in art-house favorites like Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes. 



"I only feel real if someone I don’t know knows who I am," 



Coogan says. "In the States, I only get recognized at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles. If I need ego affirmation, I just do a couple circuits around Amoeba.”
