Subject: RE: BS: Greatest Actors, Harrison, Brad, MEL??!!
The New Globe Theatre, is a compararively new theatre, and post dates all the actors mentioned so far. THE place to train in the UK is RADA "The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art" Though quite few present day actors came up through stage schools, and through the "Central School of Speech and Drama". These latter two are regarded as upstarts by the stage snobs, and truth to say, most of our really good actors came through RADA. I can't tell you where the incredibly false Emma Thomson studied, but the only good part I ever saw her play was as Kettles [sic] in a great UK TV series called Tutti Frutti, which also starred the wonderful Robbie Coltrane,along with Richard Wilson, and my own favourite Katy Murphy.
