And I'm looking down at Belfast and I'm seeing armored cars going up and down and sirens going and stuff.

I love it.

No, I moved down to Dublin and was fortunate enough to do a couple of plays there.

And then I joined the Abbey Theatre, which was Ireland, is Ireland's national theatre, I guess.

I was there for a while and I did a production of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.

John Borman, the film director who lives in Ireland, he came to see it and he was put

together this film Excalibur Arthurian legends and he asked me would I play Sir Gawain and I was in this film with shining suits of armor myself my best buddy Kieran Hines was Sir Lott

I thought this is just the best.

Yeah, I don't know how I can see the gentleman's face, Mr. Anderson.

I think it was Ken Anderson who was in charge of this little outreach.

And I didn't do an audition.

I just met him, and he knew I was Catholic, Irish Catholic, and we never really spoke about professional questions.

And this shoot was only about three weeks or something, you know.

That's right.

It was The Bounty, and we shot it in Morea, which is an island, beautiful island, just off Tahiti.

And, oh, my God, I turned 31, so I turned 78 in June of this year, so that's a bunch of years ago.

Yeah, I've done some stuff in Ireland, some miniseries in Ireland.

Tony and Mel, Daniel Day, Lewis, a whole bunch of great British actors.

You had trouble casting it, huh?

Oh, gosh.
