Sam West interview

Samuel West is a very good actor who's of my age. His parents were the great actors Timothy West and Prunella Scales. Both of them are now gone. Here's him talking about his parents and the craft of acting. I told him once that I was thankful for his parents because I grew up with them on the TV-set and it was always a high point for me in those awful days when I got bullied dreadfully at school. The showing of them together in the Barge Holidays was very much the cherry on the cake. The first season was actually shown during the year that my mom succumbed finally from Parkinson's disease. Sam talks also about missing his father, but being inspired by his work ethic and by the life of the classical touring actor. A good interview and segment to watch. Especially for us who are now of a certain age with parents who have or had dementia. I like to admit also that I kick myself not to have seen Sam as Richard II

Prunella Scales! She of Fawlty Towers of course but I fell in love with her in the Charles Laughton/John Mills movie Hobson's Choice as Laughton's headstrong daughter Vicky.

@rinkydinkydoink I know (understood). Had many more such misunderstandings. People who know me, tolerate even the dyslexia
@val70

I'm sure you know this but I sure as Hell didn't :D

You are in great company:

Notable individuals with dyslexia include Albert Einstein, who is renowned for his contributions to physics, and Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group. Other famous dyslexics are actors like Keira Knightley and Tom Cruise, as well as musicians like Cher and John Lennon.

@rinkydinkydoink I knew actually. I got counselling too late in my school years. At the age of 14 I was told that even Noble Prize winners won't talk better in public than me
