Peter Firth #2

[A Cousin]

That was a much better interview with much better questions. There were some stock questions in there, but also some more probing questions. Looks to be the same day and place as the last one. Must have been press junket day for him. PF looked much more relaxed. Dog So Small, were you there with a gentle fan? Or perhaps he had TL's power puff available.

Harry and Ruth - the great saga. You said it, bub! So lets just get them together so we can get on with the business without the distraction.

I really liked his comment about the "magical" aspect - either it happens or it doesn't. He is so right there.

It's sweet how he downplays his contribution to the Harry character by saying he is just glad to have a job throughout middle age, e.g. "I just wouldn't go away!" There may some truth in that (for which I respect him more) but it is certainly not the whole story. It goes back to the magical aspect. Some actors call it luck: the right actor in the right role at the right time. As I say to young actors, luck may get you the job, but skill keeps you in it!
