One for Jonnie to vent his spleen, plus he's been mentioned on a few threads so the rule applies. Not just Callow though, all raving thespians.

M'nahhh! Did you SEE me as the Thuuurd victim in The Hind orf the Baskervilles? I was... exquisite. M'NAAHHH! I have a screen-test too-morr-eau, I must retire to practise my breathing.

M'NNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

I'm even wearing a black roll-neck today. How apposite.

hmmm, me too, it's a chunky one fortunately so I look more like, oh what's his name, played Lecter in Manhunter, someone Cox? did voice overs for youngs frozen foods.

Brian Cox, Chris ? He seems to be a Brit-flick regular nowadays.

that's the feller.

And he was in the glimmer man and got shot by Stevie S in the hands and feet. Shit, I've managed to link Stevie to that twerp Callow very quickly.

I, too, am wearing a black roll neck. Simon Callow doesn't get my goat, but he doesn't get my vote either.

― Madchen, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

black rollneck = hot on whoever

actors know this becuz they are all manipulative mentalist monsters

I have crept the boards in my youth.
I played the son of King George in 'The Madness of King George' and I had to spend half the morning in make-up! I had a proper eighteenth century wig which was the HEIGHT OF MY HEAD and quite difficult to balance - especially when I was teetering on blocky-heeled buckled shoes. I was caked in foundation and powder, eye-make-up, and had a beauty spot placed carefully on my right cheek. I wore rings from Bond Street over long silk gloves.

.... Needless to say, I was MARVELLOUS, darlings.

But did you have that oh-so-very-important theatrical ZEAL, William? I for one will never play THE DANE.

― RickyT, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I will give him this much -- that one bit in _Four Weddings_ where he's rolling his eyes in agony at the folk couple singing at the first wedding defines me in similar situations to a T.

Everyone who saw it said my Richard III was unforgettable. Except for the Borehamwood Post which said I had the "deft comic touch of a young John Sessions". I jacked in the acting after that for obvious reasons.

― Pete, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh god no

that was my reaction, but I was slightly confused. I thought you meant Simon Dallow the news reading lawyer had taken up acting.

M"NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

My rubbish thesp career continues apace! The Company have asked me to do the voiceover for this crappy publicity video they're doing for 'New Business in Clerkenwell' - so I've just come out of the editing suite after TWO HOURS of recording and editing. I now have a very sore throat. I HATE my own voice in playback: if my voice was a colour it would be a sick lime-green. I had to say rubbish like: 'Clerkenwell is youthful, intelligent, funky and fresh' God, how the prospect of attention forces you to lower yr dignity. I SHALL NEEEEVER PLAY THE DAYNE...

you will grow to love the sound of your own voice one day I hope Will. I grew to love mine after I developed a crew of fans of my answering machine messages :)

I believe, though don't quote me on this, that Mr Callow can be seen as one of the judges in the new Sophie ellis-Bextor video.

eight years pass...

Simon Callow is currently frightening the shit out of me as the presenter of an Orson Welles doc. I think he may have actually lost his mind.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:37 (sixteen years ago)

The doc is terrible btw

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:48 (sixteen years ago)

As if you needed to be told

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 23:48 (sixteen years ago)

He disapproves:
