"An actor is an interpreter of other men's words, often a soul which wishes to reveal itself to the world but dare not, a craftsman, a bag of tricks, a vanity bag, a cool observer of mankind, a child, and at his best a kind of unfrocked priest who, for an hour or two, can call on heaven and hell to mesmerize a group of innocents."
Sir Alec Guinness from his autobiography 'Blessings in Disguise'

 

Role Nigel Bennett as Riff Raff

 

Anecdote "We opened Rocky in Milan. It was a wonderful success. At the final curtain, the audience was unable to contain itself, and invaded the stage. We left, and headed for what we thought was the safety of our dressing rooms. The audience promptly invaded them! Now I know what rock stars feel like!"
