I have recently been talking to friends both old and new who have asked me to show some of the work I did as an actor. I was for about ten years a successful actor and I know I was very good at my job. Unfortunately the work I was proud of was mostly in the theatre and there is as far as I know nothing on the internet that shows any of that work. I did work for some of the best theatre companies in Britain and played major roles for most of them. What I do show here is possibly the worst work I ever did but it would seem to be in the eyes of the general public what I am most remembered for; we all have our crosses to bear.
I´m very proud of the fact that Lindsay Anderson a director that I have enormous respect for actually offered me a part in Britannia Hospital, the only film that I can show you here, without auditioning for him. He phoned up my agent and offered me a very small part in his film based only on seeing a play that I was performing in at the time in a very small pub theatre in London. That only happens very rarely and I have only a couple of lines in the first scene but he offered roles only to a very few young actors that he felt had potential, most of them are now very respected actors worldwide. No one remembers me anymore thank God, being famous is a difficult burden for most people, many of my friends can´t even go into a regular pub for a drink because they have to spend half the night signing autographs, I haven´t had to do that for a very long time, my disguise is now almost perfect. Well here it is I hope you can laugh, I do, and never be afraid to laugh to my face I would expect it of you.
