He was there doing a lecture and came to the performance, and most graciously chatted with all the cast members afterwards. <br /><br />The only word I can use to describe his Urquhart is "delicious."

At least that's my impression.<br /><br />I'll keep my ears open to hear if anyone calls VP Underwood "FU" in the next batch... whenever it comes along.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-49165469398343324702013-02-19T00:47:26.395-05:002013-02-19T00:47:26.395-05:00I haven't seen either "HoCs", but I ...I haven't seen either "HoCs", but I did hear an (NPR) interview w/ Kevin Spacey, and he was *very aware* of his character's "F.U." name acronym.JCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516376500318551838noreply@blogger.com
