Good Lord! It seems that I am a man of parts. (Better not to ask which parts are still working, though.)

[John Whitworth]

Christopher Plummer is Canadian.

You're all way off the mark with those suggestions of famous actors, sorry.

There IS someone who's the spitting image of Brian, as Skip spotted (it had already occurred to me too). Dammit, I intend to get to the bottom of this if I possibly can!

Unless Janice is right, of course.

[Skip Dewahl]

The man is no less than the birth-son of a conservative American, redeemed somewhat by his knowledge of the grape. Don't any of you believe that the wine you observe him sniffing is native to his adopted country. In reality, he refills every bottle in the house with his papâ's aromatic Napa Valley Fess Violette and secretly dons dad's coonskin hat before uncorking:

Peter O'Toole?

Maybe this one of Sam Waterston... otherwise....

[Susan d.S.]

Also, a bit like screen actor Owen Wilson (American), fast-forwarded a bit. Clearly, Brian chose the wrong profession.

While the jury's out, here's a blog post I've just wriiten about my stay in Paris. Not a lot of actual poetry as such, though I can strongly recommend The Journal of Eugène Delacroix.
