VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

[> [> Subject: Don't bother filling in their questionnaire... Author: Jen [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:12:58 07/13/01 Fri Here are the two passages that actually talk about the actor instead of just his character: "Mr. Warner, lanky, long-faced and silver-haired, plays Andrew, a brilliant, tunnel-visioned despot - he's a weapons manufacturer - as a sleek, rumbly-voiced executive, more than comfortable in the unambiguous conviction that his selfishness is good not only for him but for the nation and even for the souls of its citizens.... [The director] has Mr. Warner deliver Andrew's third-act soliloquy, with its magnificently convoluted and passionate logic, summing up his lunatic views - as though it were a boilerplate stump speech. Mr. Warner is poised on a raised platform, gesturing like an imploring candidate. It is a platform, however, that supports a cannon, its gray barrel extending behind him with phallic emphasis."
