He is an international treasure. It is funny, you know-- actors are pretending to be other people, so we feel we know them, but really mostly don't. So it is rare and delightful to get a little glimpse of the real person. What a lovely man. I wish I could have lunch with him!
I did have one moment of confusion I thought the Bacon he played was Francis Bacon the scientist. So I could not see why he complained he did not look like him!
I have not seen him as Turing. I have not seen him much at all really. I remember my parents watching Claudius when I was a kid-- but did not watch myself.
I have seen him here and there, and in Henry V. That is about it.
