Working full time in the theatre. Roy has chosen to devote
his full attention to acting and directing on stage. His latest effort
was his own production of "A Christmas Carol" that he not only directed
but also played Scrooge. His days as Commander Adam Dalgliesh are
surely over as the new BBC production of PD James' latest book "Death
in Holy Orders" will star Martin Shaw as Dalgliesh.
[on his television series Airline (1982)] It was one of the most enjoyable
programs I ever made. Learning to fly those old DC-3s was terrific.
And I enjoyed playing Ruskin enormously because he had hope. Of course,
he was a pain up the tushie most of the time, but then you'd see that
youthful desire to actually get out and triumph against enormous odds.
I identified with that character the most.
