I saw Clements play Macbeth in his twilight years, but am ashamed to say I can remember nothing about him.
I saw Karl Johnson in an Amadeus at the Old Vic in 1999. He was playing a supporting part; I had no way of knowing that in about a dozen years he would become important to me; I was distracted in any case by David Suchet and to a lesser degree Michael Sheen. I know that I saw him, and I have a flicker of memory of his face because it was interesting, but that's all. Nothing about his performance, his voice, his movement. Sometimes that's how it goes.
The standout performance in that particular production came (implausibly) from the actor playing Malcolm- a young man called Tom Courtenay

I can see how that happened.
