I thought this was a good interview. I like when you can tell that the interviewer really talked with Ger.
I do want to point out something Ger says about "Do Not Go Gentle":
“Just before Leon passed away, I was up here with him. He asked me if I'd do it again, and I said I would if a producer came and asked me. I have a feeling that this will be the last time I do it.”
Well, I hope not but Thomas was only 39 when he died. There's a limited number of years in which Ger (now 52) can effectively portray the poet even given the ravages of DT's alcoholism. The window of opportunity is closing...
Ger will be doing 'Do Not Go Gentle" from mid-Novmeber to early January in NYC. Don't miss your chance - consider seeing it.
