Actors are of a different mindset than most people we meet. Their imaginations run very deep and their visualization skills can be quite literal. Words are thier bread and butter.
But, it would be nice if he would create a simple website. $7.95 a month wouldn’t kill him and he can have it hosted, too. If he has a favorite charity, then Pay Pal could handle that as well.
Surely the people with the deep imaginations are the writers yes actors interpret what is written but with the help if the director who has the overall vision of what they want the play,film, TV Sci-Fi show to look like .
With regard to Michael McManus the mystery is (to me) how someone who has been mythologised to be so into has’art’ that he apparently hasn’t performed his ‘art’ since his stint on Lexx .He out of all the cast has been portrayed as the ‘commited serious actor ‘yet the rest have moved on to do other things and don’t mind advertising the fact (bums on seats = money in pocket) . So what has he been doing ? Even big film stars find it difficult to return after stepping out of the limelight for a couple of years and he isn’t . I’m sure most actors would have wanted to take advantage of the fan status to get workand it can’t be said that actors won’t do anything to work they too have to pay their bills – an out of work actor is not an actor anymore but one of the unemployed or clerical worker or a ………(please insert chosen possible new occupation for Michael)
In a way I quite like the idea that he has rebelled and disappeared from sight but some of the stuff that has been written about him since especially about his lifestyle is frankly absurd so the truth would be nice .
As for the website – no chance

Yes – there seems to be so many conflicting opinions about the guy even from people who have met him then it may be enlightening to know what he is like in private . The danger of this is finding out he is some rowdy party guy an aging jobbing actor who has never read a book but a whiz at computer games ( some actors do admit to only having read Shakespeare because they had got a part in one of the plays) desparately looking for the chance to do a voice over for some cheesy chocolate ad to keep himself stocked in beer and cigs and the next party . The fanatsies of many may be shattered but at least we would know.
I agree ‘The Singing Detective ‘ was one of the best shows ever and I’m surprised they haven’t repeated it as it surely would stand the test of time I love those quirky serials that seemed to be made back then another being ‘An Unusual Practice’ written by Andrew Davies who also wrote the now infamous TV version of Pride and Prejudice .
‘The Singing Detecticve ‘ was perfect television but the film ….. I too would like to see it but ……
So what has ‘ Maurice/Fatguy Angst Thread ‘,a thread I see you started, have to do with Lexx Conventions ? As far I can see this is a personal attack on someone, I repeat, who has raised some issues about travel to the US ,which could affect some Sadgeezers ability to going to conventions in the US . You do not have any concern about this ? And then we have this thread which seems to be your attempt to undermine Maurice . I’m surprised that he has dealt with you with such good humour and personally think you owe him an apology
Back to lurking
Thanks for the welcome
I thought ‘The Pub’ section was were a Sadgeezer could post about anything ,looking at the recent threads, in view what you have said, I wonder what ‘Lager vs Beer’ or England winning the RWC has to do with Scifi ?
I have even taken a look at Maurices website and think that your snidey comments(perhaps you think putting a smiley face on everything makes your comments ok) are unfair and unjustified he appears to be wanting to make a difference and give people a chance to express themselves about what is going on around them without censure or censorship .
It’s a pity that you appear to be less open-minded
The only whining seems to come from you Frey I have been lurking on this board for some months now and noticed your deep hostility to Maurice . He is making a point here that is of great importance to us all and while everyone else seems to be able to agree or disagree about what he is saying ,even your beloved FX (what is that about ? ) seems able to argue in a fairly reasonable way all you appear to be able to insult him in a most personal way .
The person I think we should hear less of is you – let the grown ups discuss why don’t you ? D
