"I'LL TELL you my least favourite thing about
directors," confided Rufus Sewell, the handsome one from
Middlemarch. "You walk in and they just go..."
He folded his arms and put on a horrible pursed
expression. Casting director Joyce Nettles, on the other hand,
spoke of "so many actors being so needy with you and
pathetic". Here is a programme that has it all.
Starstruck (C4) is good, you know. Emma Hewitt, the director, has
a way of getting actors to reveal themselves as decent,
thoughtful human beings - which is a feat in itself. Plus, these
actors have a lot to say about the increasingly fantasy-obsessed
environment in which we 21st-century people live. They are used
to being 10 a penny. They are used to being subject to a whim,
and to being judged on what they look like. Actors have things to
teach us all.
"You can get lost in a feeling of powerlessness,"
explained Adrian Lester, the acclaimed young Shakespearean actor.
"The more twisted you get, the more unemployable you become;
the more you're unemployed, the more twisted you become,"
mused Nick Moran, the pretty boy out of Lock, Stock and Two
Smoking
Barrels. "It's my co -operation in my own humiliation that
makes it so terrible," concluded the marvellous Sewell.
You're wasted in your chosen profession, Rufus. Tony Blair wants
you to be a teacher instead.
But the very best came from Richard Dreyfuss. (Remember him in
Jaws? No? Nobody ever forgets a good teacher, do they?)
Once, he got so angry about being patronised in an audition, he
shouted and created until he got kicked out. "I was
livid," he said. "But I realised I felt better in that
moment than I would have done if I had got that job."

Work is due to start on rock legend Mick Jagger's GBP 10million
film about the turbulent love affair between Dylan and Caitlin
Thomas.
Swansea, Carmarthenshire and New York will provide the backdrop
for The Map of Love being produced by the Rolling Stone's Jagged
Films. Scenes will be shot at locations across Carmarthenshire
and Swansea with the full co-operation of both county councils.
Jagger, an avid Dylan Thomas fan, has wanted to make the love
story for some time. Speaking from Los Angeles, Jagger said:
"It's ready. I've been wanting to do it for years but now
everything is coming together and we hope filming will start this
year."
Locations likely to be used include the Boat House where Dylan
lived in Laugharne and the house in Cwmdonkin Terrace, Swansea,
where he was born.Dylan's favourite drink-ing haunts including
Brown's Hotel at Laugharne, the Uplands Tavern in Swansea and
seafront bars in Mumbles will probably feature. Fern Hill, a
six-bedroomed house at Llangain still owned by Dylan's relatives,
is likely to be included.
Actors tipped to play Dylan include Port Talbot's Michael Sheen,
whose tangled hair and Celtic looks have made him a front-runner
for the role. Others include Rufus Sewell, whose family live in
Laugharne, Rhys Ifans, Rupert Everett, Colin Firth and Gary
Oldman, while Oscar-nominee Emily Watson is hotly tipped to play
Caitlin.
Script-writer Chris Monger has based the film on Dylan and
Caitlin's relationship from their marriage in 1937 through to the
poet's death in America. Pontarddulais-born Victoria Pear-man,
who runs Jagged Films, said: "This is a project I have
really been looking forward to."
"Hollywood
Scares Me!"-Rufus Sewell

Heart-throb actor Rufus Sewell has confessed he would be too scared to move to Hollywood - for fear of turning into a "jerk".
The 33-year-old, whose roles have included a host of swarthy romantic heroes, says he was turned off the idea of emigrating to Tinseltown by the thought of being seduced by its glitzy lifestyle.
Sewell, about to be seen as Ali Baba in an all-star May Bank Holiday production of One Thousand and One Nights on BBC1, says: "If I were going to live in America, I'm sure I would already be there.
"I've worked all over the world in the past few years, but London is where I love. "Los Angeles, actually, scares me a bit, because people are quite susceptible to the lifestyle. "I've seen people turn into jerks and I think it's more important than anything else that I remain the kind of person that I like."
Sewell, who shot to fame as Will Ladislaw in the BBC's Middlemarch, will soon be seen in two new big budget movies. He has just been playing a satanic cult leader in Bless the Child, starring Kim Basinger and Christina Ricci, and is about to fly to Prague to make A Knight's Tale.
