I'd never heard of Edward Petherbridge before, but I like his blog, from the bit I skimmed of it just now.

He's an extraordinary actor; he originated Guildenstern in Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Newman Noggs in Trevor Nunn's Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, played a near-definitive Lord Peter Wimsey for the BBC, and his resume is full of things I wish I'd seen, most of them onstage. What I had not known, until I discovered his website and his blog, was that he's extraordinary all round: artist, poet, essayist; he has become one of the people where I wouldn't be surprised at anything they did, because they are so good at everything they do. And generally seems like a lovely person on top of it, which is not guaranteed.
