REG has just emailed me to inform the Temple:

“I am currently doing Robert Altman’s latest titled “Gosford Park” shooting in London, set in a country house in the 1930’s. Playing head footman. It’s an upstairs-downstairs epic and for once I am not playing a toff. Great cast of Brit thesps:- Maggie Smith, Charles Dance, Michael Gambon, Derek Jacobi, Emily Watson, Eileen Atkins, Helen Mirren, Jeremy Northam, James Wilby, Alan Bates, Stephen Fry, Kelly mcDonald, Kristin Scott-Thomas, plus some Yanks, Bob Ballaban and Ryan Phillipe. Shoots till the end of May and thereafter the dreaded USA actors strike so unsure what if any employ beckons down the line. My flick of ‘”Wah-Wah” is stalled till the strike is settled.”

Meanwhile Kari has sent me a pic from Hildegarde which you can find here. She said that REG should be kept away from chickens, ducks & fowl of all kinds!
