RE: Peter Firth #3
I've gotten my hands on several of PF's previous works through my library. Last week I watched Lifeforce (not my cup of tea) and The Incident with Walter Matthau, which I thought was quite good.
Today I picked up Country Matters and PF is in two of the episodes. He's about 19 and is so young, cute, and quite the cad! It caught me a bit off guard since I think PF is more attractive now than he was in Equus. Zaf: "Shouldn't you be in prison or something?" Ros: "This is the something." |

PF was so gorgeous in his youth. He also looked so young even in his mid-twenties. However, he was already then a great actor.
Even if I do not agree with the ending of Spooks and get frustrated with the Victorian tone of the H/R love story, I am grateful to Kudos for giving me the opportunity to discover the splendid acting of Peter Firth and Nicola Walker. I am now watching their previous works. |

He makes a good detective - maybe someone will offer him a role in one of the many British detective dramas.

I must confess to not knowing Robert Pastorelli from Adam. And PF has gone up up in my estimation immeasurably for refusing to appear on reality celebrity shows, as he states in this interview: http://video.uk.msn.com/watch/video/msn-...w/2ta47se0 Good on you, sir. |

I wonder which show it was who asked him? My money would be on Strictly Come Dancing. I loved the way Peter controlled himself in that interview too. Clearly the scheduling of Spooks v Downton p****d him off, but he held tight and said just enough.

RE: Peter Firth #3
Over this weekend I watched Pearl Harbor ( never my favorite movie) and Hunt for Red October. After the five or six lines in Pearl and his lively menacing scene with Sean Connery in Red October I must say he should stay out of movies on boats. Most of his stuff must have been on the cutting room floor. Pity. Hope to see him in parts with more screen time. Forty year career as as actor - in many things in which I had seen him - when I first saw him in Spooks I had no idea who he was until I started looking around. Who knew that that bizarre, damaged child would grow up to be Harry Pearce. And what an amazing character he made of him.
Reference in last line is to his part in Equus (a tour de force). Also, lovely, reference in Red October is to lovely, menacing scene. IPhone glitch . |

What ho! It's all much too quiet over here!!
British-based PF fans may have seen a very short clip of the boy at the very end of the latest Lovefilm TV commercial. He's in a black jacket with a white shirt, no tie and seems to be diving towards the camera. I asked Lovefilm what it was from but they couldn't tell me, other than their marketing people think it was probably Spooks. If anyone catches the ad and recognises it, could you please post it on here? Cheers! "Where's Harry?" "Moving in mysterious ways." |
