Even if I hadn't seen him act, I'd have known he must have been good by the fact that Stephen Fry liked him. <br /><br />The Dalai Lama story is fascinating, as is the anecdote about the little girl.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-42695401822605956512011-12-20T00:03:12.344+00:002011-12-20T00:03:12.344+00:00Eryl: some people have all the luck:)Eryl: some people have all the luck:)Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-77236158256454292662011-12-19T17:52:24.435+00:002011-12-19T17:52:24.435+00:00About 17 or 18 years ago Bob (he was a wee thing t...About 17 or 18 years ago Bob (he was a wee thing then) and I were walking along the grass verge of a dual carriageway in Bedford – goodness knows why – when an old banger of a car pulled up beside us. In the passenger street was a pretty young red-headed woman, and from the driver's seat leaned Brian Blessed to ask us if we knew the way to the park. He had the smileyest head!Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-16091231831271084162011-12-19T16:16:59.721+00:002011-12-19T16:16:59.721+00:00Marjolein: oh that's shame if it doesn't...Marjolein: oh that's shame if it doesn't work abroad. Glad you know him anyhow.<br /><br />Mapstew: I'm quite sure Mrs Map and the girls would keep you well in check at home - should they need to:)<br /><br />Naomi: he has appeared in four of the five Shakespeare films of Kenneth Branagh but over here he is just a fact of life as a result of constant TV appearances for decades. I have to admit there are many gifted American actors who I am not familiar with. It's a shame that BBCi Player doesn't seem to work abroad. Sorry about that.<br /><br />Joey: I hope you enjoy it. He's a bit like marmite - you either love him or hate him.<br /><br />Randall: he is mostly.

But, like most performers, there is always another side. <br />Mrs. Map often gets asked what it's like to live with 'that mad fecker'!!
