9. completely so, my sense is that his sense of preparation is total...
i'd love to yak with him one day about this & that theater stuff (if he's so inclined); but the British are so all inclusive about such matters that much is true as well, so much of it just flows across their faces as a natural event sequence...so little time to wonder why when maybe time for another pint will do ;)

15. Great character actor. If it wasn't for his fairly recognizable face, he'd be totally unrecognizable
in his various roles. :)
