Date: 25th April 1977
Theatre: Queens
Production: Just Between Ourselves
Character: Dennis
Review: Lead this five hander with great gusto, believable as the insensitive husband fiddling about in his garage while his wife deteriorates into madness. His brash, bright, attacking style perhaps a little strong for the writing but getting his laughs by sheer personality and gusto. 5’10”, thickset, slightly balding, late 40s.
Date: 5th November 1981
Theatre: Wyndhams
Production: All My Sons
Character: Joe Keller
Review: In this complex leading part, handled well the gradual revelations changing him from the tough jokey self-made man to the weak and frightened coward. Not wholly small town American sounding, but his grizzled features and stocky physique were an asset. Has a natural acting style which helped. Early 50s around 5’9″.
