Under-rated actor, clearly with a broader range than hollywood -pretty boys on screen these days, his performance in the filmed play "Dionysus in '69" proves he researches his material. And, so far as his performance in Phantom of the Paradise, this author's guess is that he's a reader.

That's almost the original!"
