Ian
Finlay (actra & uda/s)
Ian Finlay got all this training from
the National Theatre School (class of 1975) and then started working in
television, (Hobbledehoy and Feel Like Dancin’) doing voice overs, (zillions);
narrations, (even more); commercials ($$$$); films (no fussing with hair
and make-up between takes, please!) and occasionally a tiny little bit
of theatre. While doing all this work he felt somehow unsatisfied, unfulfilled
- imagining each time the phone rang that it would finally be someone
special like Steven Spielberg calling. Then one day the phone rang and
lo and behold guess who it was?
“Ian”, said Steven, “I need you for a
part in my new movie.”
“Great”, said Ian. “I’ll need above the title billing, a driver and my
own Winnebago.”
“Sure thing” laughed Steven. “You and Hanks, together again, you and Hanks…”
“Gee thanks, Steven, I’ll be in my Winnebago. Call me when you’re ready
for my close-up.”
And it didn’t take long before The Terminal
starring Ian Finlay was a worldwide hit. Well, Ian just might have a couple
of free days before Steven calls again. Why not check his availability
for, TV, voiceovers, narrations… ah… how about commercials, and oh what
the heck even films or theatre? |
