I met him when he was doing not-very-big parts for the RSC - Ferdinand in "The Tempest", I think, and a couple of other Young Men that season: the kind of roles that can lead on to greater things, but are certainly not guaranteed to do so. We kept in touch casually for a while - and then he was suddenly running the Globe, and clearly a major figure in London theatre. I'm glad that at least you recognise how good he is.
