Thanks! That's really cool. Edward's got a nice beard, too.

Cheers for putting up the interview link. I loved every second of it.

Love that interview, especially his story about Zinnemann and Forsyth walking into a bar and finding nothing but hookers there... ha!

But that beard... yeesh.

According to the YT comments Fox was playing Victorian author Anthony Trollope in a stage production at the time, hence the luxurious beard.

Great to see the interview. Ever since I saw him in the Duellists he made me take notice of him with the characters he played. Even when he's not in the lead he adds alot to a picture. And with DOTJ well he was one of the great actors portraying a 'convincing' master assassin!

Foz was badass in DOTJ. Had that ripped skinny-strong-cable-muscle look. Actually much more like Fleming's 007.

Interesting.
