I would have loved to have seen him as Valmont! Sadly, I was too young and he wasn't even on my radar then. However, I was lucky enough to see him live 3x. First, I saw him during a director's talk for the play, The Creditors, which he directed (and which co-starred his god-son, I found out later). Second I saw him as the star of the Ibsen play John Gabriel Borkman with Lindsay Duncan who was in Les Liaisons with him. Finally, I saw him in Seminar. I enjoyed myself immensely each time. After Seminar I got his autograph. I NEVER get autographs. I despise doing it. He is one of only 2 for whom I've made that exception. I'll post the video on my live journal. It's poor but it's mine and I'll treasure it.
He will be sorely missed
