I'm working with this actor in the UK on an audio version of my Errol Flynn one-person play, and this guy is terrific.
We e-mail and Skype.
Usually, when doing these plays on audio, it takes 2-3 passes before the actor "gets it" (i.e. has the persona of the character right). This guy had Flynn on the first reading.
I love working with talented, cooperative people, and right now I'm working with five of them.
The others are doing Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Spencer Tracy and Basil Rathbone.
