Nicol Williamson

[dremble wedge]

His Merlin is a strong candidate for my favourite performance in a film.

NW lives in Lindos on Rhodes but, if you ever go there, do not approach him!. I was introduced to him a couple of years ago and he was pleasant and told me a rather funny story. I saw him again in may this year and wanted to be reminded of the story but he as good as told me to F off! He appears to drink heavily and shuffles around the village in tracksuit bottoms, trainers and a formal jacket. There is a story that he (allegedly) attacked a young man who was working near his house with a hammer and near killed him.



To his credit he did participate in a fund raising concert a week or so ago to benefit a young, paralysed local boy (motorbike accident victim).



Sad to see an actor like him in such a state!



David.. have you considered a programme on Conrad Phillips? More than a B actor of course. I am aquainted with Conrad.

Williamson was good as a Columbo villain in the 70s.
