Personal Quote:

[on Time After Time] One of my original conceptual things about the Ripper was that of an exceedingly handsome, elegant man. Wells, next to him, was a runt who wore glasses, and so forth. The Ripper had an image of tremendous power and potency, not just as a menace, but as an attractive, seductive human being. What was it that women went for him? See more »

Trivia:

Originally suggested Derek Jacobi and Mick Jagger for the roles of (respectively) H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper in his first film "Time After Time". He was persuaded to use Malcolm McDowell and David Warner instead, but got his way when he insisted on hiring Miklos Rozsa to compose the music. See more »
