Modern Praise for Roger Livesey

  My fellow blogger Jenny at CinemaOCD has unearthed a BBC4 conversation with author-actor Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who) in praise of a favorite actor around here--Roger Livesey (one of the essential actors in the Powell & Pressburger films of the '40s, as well as a dashing yet pensive figure in many other films, including Drum, Master of Ballantrae, The Entertainer, and The League of Gentlemen).

The link to this conversation can be accessed by clicking here.  Livesey's name comes up beginning about 23:35 minutes into the discussion.

You can read more about this ingratiating character actor in a past blog entry here.
