    Sir Derek Jacobi is an amazing Actor, one of my favorites. I whatched him in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA in the character of Julius Caesar and also in HAMLET as Hamlet at The Old Vic Theatre London December 1977 and met him personally, and of course in I CLAUDIUS at the TV that popularized him all around the world. Some pictures like GLADIATOR, THE HUMAN FACTOR and THE BODY with my good Friend Antonio Banderas (I am an amateur actor from Malaga). Sir Derek Jacobi es un Actor impresionante, uno de mis favoritos. Le ví en ANTONIO Y CLEOPATRA en el papel de Julio César y también en Hamlet como Hamlet en el Old Vic Theatre de Londres en Diciembre de 1977 y le conocí personalmente, y por supuesto en YO, CLAUDIO en la TV que le popularizó en todo el mundo. También en algunas películas como GLADIATOR, EL FACTOR HUMANO y EL CUERPO con mi buen amigo Antonio Banderas, (soy actor aficionado en Málaga y Diplomado en Arte Dramático). Saludos desde España. He´s a brilliant actor and a nice guy as Andy Nixon says. Es un actor magnífico y un tío majo como dice Andy Nixon. Greetings from the Eternal Spain.

    Just found this after watching an interview with him that's more current, the man doesn't age that much, only his voice has changed.
    Have loved him in everything that I've seen him in. Got bought his autobiography recently. Hopefully he has time for another one as he's not that old.

    I just watched the 1965 BBC documentary of the failed production of Corda's I, Claudius. With Charles Laughton as Claudius.
    So it was interesting to hear Derek Jacobi say he watched that archived footage of Laughton playing Claudius before playing the character himself.
    To me, in the scene with Claudius and Caligula, where Claudius is sure Caligula is about to kill him, Jacobi's acting appears to almost perfectly mimic Laughton's earlier, 1937, performance.
    I'm not complaining. They BOTH play the character perfectly!

      @@tanyacobb9636 No question. But you misconstrued my comment. It was not a critique of Sir Derek ("SDJ") at all (indeed, SDJ won an Emmy for his role on Frasier); it was a statement that SDJ has done far, far better TV/movies/theatre than Frasier (the series) could ever hope to do. "I, Claudius" is better TV than is "Frasier." SDJ is brilliant, as ever, in the role; Frasier (the series)... not my cup of tea. That is just my opinion; others can disagree.
