Came across this video last night. It's long, but I enjoyed hearing his stories about auditioning for various things. The story about his Sherlock audition and subsequent scheduling of The Hobbit is quite something.

Yep, love both the Hobbit and Sherlock stories!
Although his Sherlock audition wasn't as funny as Andrew's!

Oh, I don't recall if I have heard or read Andrew's audition story.

He bumbled into the audition, all the sweet, charming, delightful Irishman.
Then Beryl Vertue recalls how he transformed into this evil villian before their eyes..
When he delievered the ' that's what people do' line, they all just about jumped out of their seats with fright!

Wow. That definitely would have made an impression.
