Since we're onboard for Noah Wyle (whom I've met) and #ThePitt, in another life, at the dawn of the internet, I connected with some of the people who were part of the NBC show 'ER' (hello @guynormanbee.bsky.social). Here's yours truly inside Trauma 2 on the Warner Bros. set in April 1998.

RAYE has the first Number 1 single of 2026 on the UK officialcharts.com with "Where Is My Husband!"
And I'd like to believe it wouldn't have happened without the dramatic and inspired reading from Michael Sheen on the Josh & Kally Capital radio programme back in November 😉

The beauty of @bandcamp.com playback availability, watching Johnny and June Carter Cash... I mean, @robynhitchcock.bsky.social and @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social harmonizing on a December evening at Tubby's House. Happy holidays, groovers.

A little late to the game(r), yet highly intrigued by what I've gathered from reviews and recommendations. Looks like the holiday reading will be Gabrielle Zevin level good.

While it's undocumented, Michael (who portrayed Williams in a 2006 BBC Four television play AND Treplev onstage in 1995 at the Theatre Royal Bath & tour), launched into a story that Williams nearly subbed for Burton, but not knowing the lines, panicked, got Burton drunk and shoved him onstage.

In 2013 author Ian Parsons published Swansea's Grand, a history of the theatre, which opened in 1897.
As related in the book, in 1950 the 25-year-old Burton was cast in Chekhov's iconic play as Konstantin Gavrilovich Treplev, alongside Williams and character actor Wilfred Brambell.
