Happy New Year!

Picture
The month of January is named in honour of the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings, of transitions, gates and time. Janus had two faces, one looking back to the past, the other forward, into the future. Whilst I think the past is important, and vital to recall accurately if we are to avoid repeating the mistakes we have made as individuals, and as a species, I find myself most inspired these days by the words of Enzo Ferrari, who speaking of motor racing said: "What's behind you doesn't matter".

2018 was a year in which I marked my 60th Birthday, and celebrated the event with my Wife in the wonderful city of Amsterdam. It was a year in which we welcomed Piper, a beautiful Granddaughter, and our sixth Grandchild. A year in which I was cast in a film which we shot in Italy with a fantastic Director and Crew, and which is being lined up for Cannes. And a year which has inspired me to think about writing, producing and directing my own projects in the future.
It was also a year in which I allowed some opportunities to slip by, and at the age of sixty I am increasingly aware that I only have so much time to keep doing that! It was a year in which the curse of Macbeth struck us again, when Karen was taken ill on a trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon and we had to abort the play. One thing however, remains certain, whether I met with triumph or disaster, to quote the Rolling Stones: "It's All Over Now". None of it can be changed. It's behind me, and it doesn't matter. At my age now, I find myself more than ever excited and enthused about what lies in front of me. Tomorrow is just another day, and a resolution can be made on any day.

The picture above was taken by my Wife at a concert we attended recently by the fabulous André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra. André always emphasizes how music has the capacity to heal divisions and bring people together, and I have always sought to be a bridge builder, not a wall builder.
We are living in very divisive times, and if I have any kind of resolution to make for 2019, it would be that through my work as an Actor, and my life as a man, I am able to place my little brick in the bridge that brings people together.

Whatever your hopes and dreams are for 2019, I wish you every success and blessing...

​Happy New Year!
