Your role as The Saint made you a familiar face in the UK. How has this affected your life as an actor?

It put me rather nearer the top of the bill instead of in the middle or lower.

You're now living in Los Angeles. How does the public’s perception of you differ across the pond from in England?

The American public has no particular perception of me as I'm hardly known over there.

What kind of acting work have you been doing in The States?

Mostly television, a few films and the occasional play.

Could you tell us a bit about Snakes And Ladders?

It's funny. A jolly evening in the theatre and not highbrow at all. It's quite silly in fact, a lot of fun.

Have you performed in Norwich before?

Yes, many years ago whilst on tour in a play I can't remember. I also filmed much of a TV mini-series here in the late '80s.

How is the tour of Snakes And Ladders going?

Very well. We're doing better business than most other touring companies.

Do you enjoy touring with a production? It must be hard work.

Touring means living out of a suitcase. You get to know most of the great London stations. It's not that hard.

Do you prefer doing television work or theatre?

TV for the money, stage for the satisfaction.
