    Let me be upfront about this post – I really just want to write about Stanley Tucci. I’ve just watched the second season of Citadel and mostly enjoyed it. I do not feel compelled to write much about the show Citadel but given that Stanley Tucci is presently at the forefront of my mind (and…

  • (I discovered today that I only shared this on Medium.com which I stopped using in 2017. So, yes, this is old but it’s one of the few times I’ve been able to interview people regarding their film work – and have a record of it! – that I can share. So here goes…) This interview…
