My pleasure; firstly, some background: Gian Samarco played Benjamin Drexil who, for those of you unfamiliar with the name, was a young lad who was employing Colin to give him a personality makeover in part one of "Something Terrible". Benji was sure people would find him more interesting if they found out about his trainspotting - he had some other interests - alloy production, karate, miming performance, hang-gliding, photography etc - but he thought that he should keep these quiet, as he felt it would detract from the interest generated by his trainspotting. Addressing Kevin's question: Benjamin was a brilliantly written character - an essential fact for an actors quality to come through - and his appearances were filled with little bits and pieces that had to be subtley introduced. Gian Sammarco played the part brilliantly, managing to underplay his lines so that the humour didn't seem "pushed", which I think is easily done. > I'm not criticizing it, but I am curious. You certainly are, Kevin, you certainly are. :) Murray ___________________________________________________________________ Murray Head "The only way to atone for being occasionally muzza@omen.net.au a little overdressed is by being always http://www.omen.net.au/~muzza/ absolutely overeducated." - Oscar mhead@anhb.uwa.edu.au (Anatomy and Human Biology, UWA) Wilde -- T H E P R E S S G A N G M A I L I N G L I S T By default, pressing 'reply' will send mail back to the list, not to the author of the message you're replying to.
