I have been an actor for over thirty years, and have always had a profound interest in theatre and film history. Over the years I have been an avid collector of films, and welcome the chance to share some of my favourite excerpts on Youtube. I am particulary interested in showing film of historical interest, perhaps showing famous stage stars whose performances have fortunately been captured on film or record, so that we may have some idea of what they were like in their heyday. Thank God for film and records - and Youtube - to give us this opportunity!Videos (351)
