Because they were making the film in the Victorian studios down in Nice.

I had to do all of that.

And that was kind of like your first acting job, right?

What was his album out there?

The album that accompanied the film was called Parade.

So it was just after Around the World in a Day, is that right?

Around the World of Music?

I think the one with Raspberry Beret on it.

Oh, right.

And that's what I had been listening to over and over again on my little Walkman that somebody brought me back from Japan because you couldn't buy them in France yet.

And that's what I'd been listening to all summer when I was camping in a school because we were performing a Marguerite Duras play...

in a field in burgundy and suddenly i get this call to go to paris to go and audition for this man i'd been listening to all summer i mean it was all spooky and i go along was he in the audition no but there were lots of people around the camera a bit like that and then suddenly there's a huddle somebody pokes his head up and says would you be interested in auditioning for the lead
