Mr. Warner is currently on Broadway in Major Barbara. Welcome all from David Warner: An Actor's Life And Art: The Forum!

Indeed, An Inspiration. -- Brian Dippold, 21:41:30 07/29/01 Sun

Dear Mr. Warner
Wow! I just stumbled across this! I had no idea it was your birthday! Well, if you read this one at all, I just want to say that I wish you an excellent 60th! Ever since I can remember I've always watched movies. When even at 5, I watched them obssesively. Ever since I can remember I loved doing voices. My ambition is acting. I would also love to do voice-over work as well. When I was really young I first saw you in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II. Of course, I had no idea who you were back then, but I remember that I loved your role very much. Like I said before I also love cartoons and the voice-over actors. That field, I think is highly over-looked. I remember I was watching the Batman cartoon and I heard you do Raesh Algul. I kept thinking to myself, He sounds familiar, where have I heard that voice? Over the next several years I heard even more of your voice, not knowing who it was drove me crazy but I loved your work all the same. Freakazoid, being one of my favorites. The Lobe always made me laugh. I tried watching for your name on the cast list but they flash them too fast for anybody to read. Then Titanic came out. You walked on the screen in the harbor scene and you said your lines. I said to myself, Oh my God! It's him! After that I kept waiting for you to come back on the screen. I even think there was a deleted scene of you in there that I've been trying to track down for sometime now. My friend got impatient with me as I waited for the credits to show who you were. I finally found out who you were and I searched for and learned more and more about your work. I saw Planet Of The Apes yesterday. When I heard that you were going to be in it I was psyched. Especially when I heard you were going to be an ape. I waited for you to come on screen. Then, when I heard the voice, I knew it was you. Your prescence is amazing. I wish you had a little more screen time though. And the makeup! They did an excellent job! It was so believeable. That has to be one of my favorites now. That had to be fun. I heard that many people had to wake up at 3 am and had to be ready to start shooting in the morning. Still, if I got the chance to do that, I think I'd take it. Through you I also discovered the late, Roddy Mcdowall who like you, was also a very big inspiration to me. Both in Planet Of The Apes, both of you are some of my favorite voice-over actors, and both of you were villains in Batman. I always thought that was funny. I always keep trying to learn from actors like you. The ones with range. Usually character actors. I feel I've learned the most from them. One of the many reasons I like you is that you are a sport. You try whatever is thrown at you and you give it your all. You act to act. That hits home in my book Mr. Warner. You're probably one of the main reasons I do what I do now. I audition for plays nearly every chance I get. I can change my appearance very easily and my voice now. I've worked on that throughout the years.( I always act out scripts and different characters and voices when I'm alone. People think I'm crazy sometimes.) Without you I probably would still be trying to look for something to do. Anyway, I just wanted to say that. I'm glad I had this opprotunity to write this. I've been looking for a fan mail address for sometime now. No matter how the industry treats their most valuable people I just want you to know that you have many fans and that you have not only been an inspiration to me but to many aspiring young actors. Thank you Mr. Warner, for so many years and so many unforgettable roles. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for reading this far! A very happy birthday and may God bless you in your future endeavors. Once again,thanks for reading this far.

Sincerely,
Brian Dippold
St.Louis, Missouri

Happy Birthday -- Susan Ciriello, 09:51:18 07/28/01 Sat

... my favorite actor of all time. Thank you for the many moving, humorous, fearsome, thought-provoking, inspiring, and entertaining performances you've given us so far. Your Captain Sawyer this year was especially memorable and touching. I can hardly wait to see you on the stage in Major Barbara in a few weeks! Congratulations on your great reviews.

Wishing you continued success, more choice roles, and all the happiness that you've given your audiences over the years, both on your birthday and in the coming year.

I don't know what to say... -- Cin�philia, 20:02:52 07/27/01 Fri

I've had a tough week and my head is almost empty right now. Let's see... I'll just start with what should come first for this occasion: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. WARNER AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING SO MANY FASCINATING AND MOVING CHARACTERS TO LIFE ON BOTH THE STAGE AND THE SCREEN...

The world would be a lesser place without your Blifil, your Morgan Delt, your Hamlet, your Edward II, your Lysander, your Konstantin, your Joshua Sloane, your Jack the Ripper, your Dillinger, your Evil Genius, your Dr. Necessiter, your Cpt. Sawyer and now your Undershaft in "Major Barbara". I love it when you made me cry, laugh or tremble with fear. You can do almost everything. Few actors have your range.

In the past three years and a half, ever since my rediscovery of your talent, I've enjoyed seeing most of your films and working on my site about you. Thanks to you, I discovered the genius of Sam Peckinpah, who is now one of my favorite directors. And, because of you, I saw many obscure but excellent films such as "The Bofors Gun" and got to know other talented actors much better than I used too.

So... Once again... Happy birthday to you. My wishes for you for the year to come: a great role in a great film... and a Tony nomination... and a comedy on the West End... and health and hapiness for yourself and your family. For myself: Copies of "Michael Kohlhaas" and of "Work is a Four-Letter Word".

Joyeux anniversaire Monsieur Warner!

Happy birthday! -- Silvia Gilles, 04:37:04 07/27/01 Fri

Dear Mr. Warner,

I wish you a very happy 60th birthday! It is a pity that here in Germany your films on TV are very rare. My favourite films are "Time by time" - here called "Flucht in die Zukunft" and "Titanic".
Carry on your good work!

Silvia.

Wishing you a happy birthday and continued success! -- Waya, 21:26:07 07/25/01 Wed

Wishing you a very happy birthday, Mr. Warner! Congratulations on the wonderful work you've done this year, and may it continue to delight us all for many years to come. No one deserves the accolades you are receiving as much as you. You've had some good performances and some great performances, occasionally a rough patch or two, and some performances that were absolutely masterful. Through it all you have persevered with dignity, grace and good humor. These are the qualities that have made you an inspiration to so many people. You should be proud of the work you have done, and I'm sure that your family is very proud of you. I wish you continued success and best wishes always to yourself and your family.

Go knock 'em dead.

Waya

Happy Birthday -- Guy G. Gordon, 11:24:50 07/25/01 Wed

As a long time fan of TRON and the rest of your work in general, I wanted to wish a happy birthday to you and hope that you continue to find many more outstanding acting roles. Your work on TRON is loved by all of us fans of the film. Your performance of Sark, Dillinger and even The MCP are unforgettable.

Thank you, and happy birthday!

Your work in TRON was great! -- Peter A. Peterson II, 08:05:27 07/25/01 Wed

Dear Mr. Warner,

As a huge fan of TRON, I just want to say that you really shone in that film. Of course I loved all the actors in that groundbreaking film, but as I grow older, I find that I appreciate your work (and Barnard Hughes') more and more. Your deliciously malevolent yet dependant villian Sark really brought a finesse to TRON that few actors could have mustered.

THANK YOU! And Happy Birthday!

Yours,
Peter

Happy Birthday! -- Dian Wilson, 16:07:03 07/22/01 Sun

David,

First I would like to wish you happiness as you celebrate your birthday. I have never written a performer before, but when I came across this this site, I decided to wish you all the best.

I'm just a quiet Canadian gal who works in radio, but has enjoyed your work since I first saw you in "The Island" and "Time After Time". Although I haven't seen all of your projects, I do admire your performances in the ones I have seen. You are a wonderful actor!

I wish you continued success, peace and love. God bless.

Happiest of days to a brilliant artist -- Rachel Spence, 17:32:10 07/14/01 Sat

Happy Birthday, Mr. Warner. Your work has given much happiness to this Cleveland fan. As a professional actor ( yes, working..and in Cleveland,haha) I have watched your films for many years. And plunking down $8.50 just to see you! My small clique of performance major friends in college feel you are a character actor icon and followed your career with cultish fevor. I still do. You are a joy to watch. Your technique is seamless. There's a smoothness to your acting choices while filling every movement with anticipation. Speaking of anticipation, I cannot wait to see you performing GB Shaw at the Roundabout. Happiest of birthdays to a man who's talents are as varied as his resume!And thank you for your creative inspiration that has led me to this industry that can (most often) feed my family. -Rachel S.

Happy Birthday!!! -- Kim Cooper, 18:00:50 07/11/01 Wed

Greetings Mr. Warner,
It is truly a thrill for me to have this opportunity to convey this birthday message to you. I want you to know that I have the deepest admiration for you not only as one of the finest actors I've ever seen, but also as the wonderful person that you are offscreen. You are an inspiration to me and have been for 25 of my 31 years. I would love to see your performance in Major Barbara. I have heard nothing but good things about it. I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful 60th birthday. Best wishes to you in any and all present and future projects that you take on. I would love to tell you that I am your "biggest fan," but that sounds a bit too much like Kathy Bates In Misery...I don't want you to think I'm a lunatic. But I will say that I am a HUGE fan of yours, and always will be. Thank you for sharing your exceptional talent as an actor with the rest of us. I have a more positive view of the world knowing that there are people like you in it.

Happy Birthday!

With love and admiration,
Kim Cooper

Happy Birthday Mr. Warner -- MJ Speare, 17:15:59 07/11/01 Wed

Dear Mr. Warner,
I've loved your work ever since "Time After Time." I've always thought you were one of the most frightening of villains and the kindest of men in your roles. I have just seen the Horatio Hornblower episodes, and I hope you receive as many special awards as possible for this achievement! Happy 60th!

Thank you for making Captain Sawyer more than just a broken down old man. You made us see the hero he once was, and have sympathy for him in what he had become.

Happy Birthday to one of the best actors in the world! I've followed your career since I saw you in "From Beyond The Grave" when I was a child and have enjoyed how you always imbue unique sensitivity into your roles--especially those Shakespearean. I look forward to your upcoming projects and hope you have a special day. I wish you happiness and blessings throughout the upcoming year.

One of the best -- Carolyn Longworth, 19:10:56 07/07/01 Sat

I'm sure your performances have gotten a lot of young people (like me, a loooooong time ago) interested in Shakespeare and hey--how do you stay looking the same all these years?

To a Great Actor, Both Visually and Vocally -- Brian Rubin, 09:19:36 07/05/01 Thu

Dear Mr. Warner,

Happy Birthday! I hope that you continue to have as many successes in future years as you've had in the past. :) I'm a long time fan of yours, and have been since I was a child. I've enjoyed your theatrical work and your voice over work. The last project I saw you in was the fantastic Horatio Hornblower movies for A&E, wherein you played Captain James Saywer. I must say that, unsurprisingly, you played the neurotic Captain perfectly. Anyway, I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and look forward to seeing you continue to shine on both the big and small screens, as well as in the theater.

What a Diamond -- Janna Horsburgh, 01:04:58 07/05/01 Thu

Congratulations.

You are truly a remarkable human being. Many who have had less reason to give up would do well to observe how you have done so much with so little to help you.

God Bless and let nothing deter you from all your future ambitions.
