Personal Quote:

When you've had an Academy Award nomination for the film Equus, the work comes rolling in. So I had my chance to be a film star, but I resisted fame. I had peculiar high artistic ideals in those days. There is some regret about turning down Hollywood style-fame now, but only really financially. See more »

Trivia:

Replaced Tim Curry in the role of Mozart in the Broadway run of Peter Shaffer 's play "Amadeus" in 1981, with Ian McKellen as Salieri. See more »
