Peter Settelen/Mr Wickham


I find it a very interesting fact that the actor playing Mr. Wickham, is himself not very honorable. Mr. Settelen was selling his services as an acting coach and was hired by Princess Diana to coach her for public speaking. After her death he sold the videos of her practicing to the press for lots of money. I kept thinking he looked familiar and was astounded when I realized that he had played Mr. Wickham.

He also played a delightful character -- Sandy in Flambards. I saw him in those roles within less than 6 months of each other. I was impressed with his ability to be so awful and also to be so sweet.

It's a shame he's not a very honorable person in real life.

You're right, he seemed very sweet as Sandy. Flambards is one of my favorites though very few people I know or met have seen it.

FLAMBARDS?!?!?!? I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Flambards. I hadn't thought of that one in a long time. I can still remember part of the theme.... maum...maum... maum..... etc.
