RIP Michael Gambon (19.10.1940 - 28.9.2023)

"Paul Schofield said something like, 'If I'm not acting in a play, I don't really exist.' Those weren't the exact words, but he meant it's only when I'm acting in a play that I've got something to say about the world. And then why should I talk, when people can come to see it?"

"Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me."

#michael gambon #rip #death ment tw #character actors #theatre #the singing detective #maigret #the borderers #fraud squad #the cook the thief his wife and her lover #softly softly: task force #nothing but the night #the beast must die #special branch #zodiac #mountain language #tales of the unexpected #absurd person singular #gosford park #doctor who #new who #the hollow crown #a genuine acting icon and a legendary screen presence. his journey to stardom and household name status was actually fairly slow but he #caught the attention of significant and influential figures within the theatre from the very beginning; Olivier was quick to see his #potential‚ he became a latterday muse of Ayckbourn and Pinter‚ and directors Peter Hall and Eric Thompson were instrumental in castings him #in big roles. i feel like his screen career never quite matched his enormous success onstage (and his later career was certainly a touch #quantity over quality in terms of projects chosen) but there were some diamonds in there; The Singing Detective high among them of course #as always a recommendation of a lesser known work: the tv broadcast of Pinter's Mountain Language‚ a short but devastating piece about #suppression via the prohibition of a native language. Gambon's sadistic soldier is very nearly a caricature of needless evil but he keeps #it just the right side of believability‚ resulting in one of the most disturbing + unsettling perfs of its type. rip to a very fine actor

Chaim Topol (9.9.1935 - 9.3.2023)

"What kind of advice can I give [young performers]? Someone sent me a quote that persistence wins. I have to disagree with this. It is an important ingredient. I don't think that there are any rules. Be persistent, be talented, work hard, but ninety-five percent is luck - so be lucky!"

#topol #chaim topol #haym topol #may his memory be a blessing #death ment tw #icons #fiddler on the roof #tevye #flash gordon #follow me #for your eyes only #galileo #american film theater #the house on garibaldi street #the winds of war #tales of the unexpected #war and remembrance #cast a giant shadow #is there a musical theatre lead more closely identified with a single performer than Tevye? i don't think so #whilst his screen career was comparatively modest‚ there's no doubt of the influence Topol had nor the impact of his version of Fiddler #his later work as a character actor on tv and film is full of small but superbly realised parts‚ but he was always and remained primarily a #stage actor. Fiddler was the first musical I ever loved and Topol's the first performance I ever heard (I still have the ost in fairly #heavy rotation). the sheer range of emotion and performance he goes through not just in the play but sometimes in one song #i mean If I were a Rich Man is a sort of pop culture behemoth that has a life beyond the play‚ but if you listen to it it's a man #expressing his wants and desires and then redefining them further and further to the realisation that his faith is most important to him #and that really he knows his faith is not predicated on any kind of wealth; and Topol sells every moment‚ the gradual adjustment from #flights of fancy and wild dreams of riches‚ to more modest comforts for his family and loved ones‚ to finally a simple wish to spend less #time working and more in devotion to g-d. it's a beautiful performance by a beautiful performer and one of the true greats of the stage
