You never cease to amaze me with your interviewing skills, Harvey! You can tell the difference between the interviewee pausing because they are done with a thought vs more memories coming up that the interviewee wants to share. That is a skill! I don't know this actor but he is thoughtful, caring and secure enough to use the word "lovely". That guy knows how to communicate and I'm glad you interviewed him - I feel like I know him!

I think parents better start sending their kids into the arts (acting teachers, film schools, voice lessons, writing programs, apprenticeships for photography, dance training, art academies, et al), as well as business, media, psychology and sociology studies because at this rate you are going to run out of guests...certainly by the next generation!
