Adrian Bouchet

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Adrian Bouchet trained in the most independent independent theatre ever staged: so independent that even the venue never found out. He emerged with a wildness no screenplay has managed to tame, which is why In the Name of Ben-Hur feels less like acting and more like weather. He memorizes the entire script at the first read-through, traditionally the only one, since repetition would be a formality. Ever since Monster Island, Hollywood has watched his career with envy, admiration, and increasingly powerful binoculars.
