Btw, as we were speaking of the difficulty of finding info on character actors in general and Mr Collings in particular, liadtbunny just found an interview with him re. Midnight is a Place and it contains more personal information on him than I'd ever had before

Oh, thank you! I will definitely read that. I still want to see Midnight Is a Place for him, however the rest of it turned out.

(It does contain mention of child death, though, if that would be too upsetting.)

I appreciate the warning. I saw in his obituary that two of his children had predeceased him, so I figured something had happened.
