As for non-Spooks stuff, anything from the set of Hunt for Red October would be cool. Guess a submarine is out of the question though... I'd also treasure a signed copy of one of the audiobooks he's done, and especially a signed copy/DVD of the Yellowstone programme he narrated. |

RE: Peter Firth
Guys, just so that discussion of Peter's roles doesn't get sidetracked, if you want to start a thread for bidding on PF memorabilia, that might be better.
Many thanks to Tyger for a terrific signature |

RE: Peter Firth
I finally got round to watching Blood and Oil (its funny how I always seem to get more things watched when I have an impending deadline ) Although it was brief I enjoyed his performance. Does he naturally speak with that accent - I loved it haha. His character was so different to Harry I don' think I would have recognised him if I hadn't been expecting to see him. Same with David Oyewolo reallly aha.

Same with David Oyewolo reallly aha. I dont think that is his real accent. Well not anymore anyway as he has lived down south for so many years now. You can get a pretty good idea of how he speaks now, on the Top Gear clip with RPJ. He does his Yorkshire accent on there as well, as a joke. |

RE: Peter Firth
Yeah, we had a discussion early on about his accent on this thread. There was an article I read about him prior to Spooks where he spoke about his accent and he reckoned it was part of adjusting to work in the US where he was for a few years. Apparently they had a lot of issues understanding Yorkshiremen!
It's also because he was one of the last generation of actors where having an accent wasn't OK and they had to acquire a London-ish one to get work. Now it's OK to have Northern accents: think Sarah Parrish, David Morrissey, Chris Eccleston, John Simm e.t.c. But thirty years ago Johnny Gielgiud's speaking voice, or at worst, Olivier's, was what you were meant to aspire to as an actor. For women, it was Ethel Barrymore. Many thanks to Tyger for a terrific signature |

RE: Peter Firth

RE: Peter Firth
Anyone on herefrom Yorkshire? Only I don't think the accent PF used for Malcolm Hayes is Yorks - it sounds more Lancashire to me...but then I'm not au fait enough with the subtleties of Yorks/Lancs accents to really know...
"Where's Harry?" "Moving in mysterious ways." |

RE: Peter Firth

RE: Peter Firth
fair enough!
Just watching "White Angel" again and, after watching the director's/producer's commentary, I'm even more impressed wit PF's performance. The film has a lot of faults, mainly because it was filmed for about sixpence and most of the other actors aren't up to par, but ignore all that and just concentrate on Peter. He really is totally superb!! "Where's Harry?" "Moving in mysterious ways." |
