You know I was just reading this morning an interview with DT in a US newspaper (I've been noticing that because no one here knows who he is, the interviews he's done with US reporters are a lot more interesting b/c it's not just the same 5 questions he gets asked all the time) where the reporter noted that Patrick Stewart had once said that the reason he's so in demand for Sci Fi roles is that as a Shakespearian actor you have to be able to say lines that sound a bit weird (and/or ridiculous) to modern ears with absolute conviction. Like the above! Love it!
