Ever met a celeb and not realised it until later? I've met Rowan Atkinson due to working on Oliver! and him playing Fagin (except the selfish bastard has a hernia and is being replaced by Russ Abbot for a couple of months). I've also met Jodie and Sarah from I'd Do Anything (Jodie due to Oliver!, Sarah due to through-a-friendness). But the actor I interract with most in the show is Burn Gorman who plays Sykes and therefore takes the dog from me. Due to extreme laziness I didn't look up his past roles blah blah blah.
I've just found out he plays Owen Harper on Torchwood, a show I never watched, and that means he's a bigger deal that I realised. He could probably have me fired if he wanted to. HE'D BETTER NOT HAVE ME FIRED! I NEED THAT EFFING JOB!
In other adventures....I was onstage with the dog in Thursday night's performance and the dog let out a loud bark. My instinct was to hold his jaws shut. Then I realised he'd shut up if I gave him a biscuit so I did that. I'm kind of glad that it's the most embarrassing moment of my stage career so far because I've got an actor-friend who actually shat himself on stage and another one who puked onstage. A dog doing a bark under my supervision isn't so bad.
Also I am technically the first member of my immediate family to be on the West End stage. Suck my role!
