    I've enjoyed immensely, so many of these podcasts, but this has to be the best. I've been a fan of Larry's, since he appeared in "Triangle" in the early 80's, with his laid back manner.
    I'd have been happy if it was 3 hours long, or at least if Rob had said it was the first of six episodes!

  • @nickgiordano4653
    @nickgiordano4653 Місяць тому +7

    Wonderful episode, really enjoyed this. And I think Rob really nailed it with his closing comments; people liked Larry, and it took him places. In other words, he charmed his way to success. Larry's a great charismatic bloke and has been his whole life. And thus he's charmed people at every turn. I realise now I've laughed my head off every time I've seen Larry interviewed on British TV; he's literally always fun to listen to. Anyone I've ever spoken to loves Larry, friend circles and family both. That's not to say he's not a great actor too. In fact, the skills mentioned all but confirm how talented he is; his ability to charm his way to the top explains his ability as an actor. He understands people, and has the ability to speak to us.
    Sorry, going back to Gavin and Stacey... There's a reason Larrry was chosen as the last man to stand at the reception. He's a good man and a strong man, and everyone knows it. That moment was perfect.

    There are probably still these crooked (in a geographical sense) byways through many career paths, but, almost always, it's a/the weird starting point that puts the potential journeyman outside of the sway of the regular gatekeepers.
