Having nerded out at conventions for 25 years, I can still say that out of all the actors I've met, Paul McGann is by far the nicest, funniest and most engaging. He spent around ten minutes reading scenes from the Withnail script book (doing all the voices) and had some great anecdotes. A real gentleman.

My mum, a wise woman, took me to see the movie in Australia when it came out, her shout, at The Academy Twin, Paddington. I was living a somewhat debauched lifestyle, in shared digs with my mates. Now I look back, I think she was trying to inspire me, bless her heart. We both laughed like fools.

Ralph, genuinely you stole every scene you were in, be proud of your performance and nobody in withnail was below excellent and you just nailed it ( pun not intended)

@dominicc3107 Ай бұрын

This was great. Time for me to watch the film again, I think.

@simac3880 Ай бұрын

This has been my favourite film since I first saw it in 1990 with my mate's stoner parents (they microwaved some home-grown buds for the official viewing). I found Ralph's comments about his performance really sad. If I was in that audience, I would have stood up and said that each and every actor in Withnail were absolutely brilliant, but your perfromance, Ralph, was truly joyous. I agree with Phill that this is the best British film ever made, and I think Ralph's is the most memorable performance in any British film. It is a treasure.

great film..fav of mine..but it doesnt come close to Lawrence of Arabia..watch it dude...

@rossmcleod7983 Ай бұрын

Agreed. Ralph’s performance nailed my past encounters completely.

@simac3880 Ай бұрын

@@David-j9h9g I'm with you mate. Lawrence of Arabia is brilliant. I guess it's an apples and oranges thing. They are so different. My argument would be that I don't watch 'Lawrence' every year or quote all the lines in my everyday interactions! Withnail is just so unique. The script is so funny... It's those wonderful words that wins it for me.

I had a weird day, was watching Sharpe and looked up Wikipedia for one of the actors and it said Paul McGann was cast as Sharpe but buggered his knee playing football, so Sean Bean took over the role (and did a phenomenal job). I knew Paul from Hornblower, and I never realised he was "&I". I always loved Withnail & I, so I watched it again tonight. What a brilliant character movie it is, full of drama, humour, subtly and serious message. In this modern age of explosions and constant action, we really need more movies like this. Low budget but great story and performance, making subtle commentary on the times we live in.

If anyone gets the chance, track down a film called Paper Mask - a great little picture starring Paul McGann from the late 80’s. As an added brucie bonus, he even plays the banjo in it.

The wrecking ball scene is actually the demolition of the people’s republic of frestonia squats on Bramley road, near Latimer Road. (The jag drives off through the arched bridge 100yds down from frestonia) The people who lived there were very much like the characters of Withnail and I, All old hippies and artists from the 60’s & 70’s.

When Paul says he thinks it still stands up today, I, at 31 just recently watched it for the first time, and have since watched it multiple times and am obsessed by it. At the risk of sounding trite or like Jupitus; it's a modern classic.

According to Bruce Danny's voice came from a slightly dim make up artist that Bruce knew. It's in his 1999 (?) interview on the DVD extras. "Do you understand?" Etc,. Ralph is much too hard on himself. He was " marvellous" in it.

Yes. In Brum. It's not the film. It's a different experience but overall a good one. I'm not sure the actor who played Withnail quite pulled it off but the actor who played Uncle Monty was astounding. He played it slightly differently but it worked. I was left feeling like I'd seen a good new production of Hamlet. If it's good you see new depth to some thing you're familiar with and I was fine with that.

i don't think Paul McGann and Richard E Grant got on well in real life or are friends unlike Ralph Brown although he does compliment his acting. I've met Paul McGann once who was down to earth and I've crossed paths with Richard E Grant in real life recently and find him very much into himself and arrogant. I think Ralph Brown had to be convinced to come, tell's me how mean a person Bruce Robinson is. Talented writer-director, but from what I have heard, not a very nice person, which is a shame.
