    Senior actor but not an old stager - the stage CV is growing apace (q.v.), the film CV looks quite rich, these days ... um, more fim and TV would be lovely! Oh, and I've won two film acting awards in the last year or so, both at the Monaco International Film Festival : Best Supporting Male Actor in a Feature for Father Fred in "Oh God", and Best Supporting Male Actor in a Short film for the Old Polish dosser in "Red and the Blues".
