For those who rave about F. Murray Abraham as Salieri, I urge them to see the clip of Scofield as Salieri at the National theafre and you will see the difference between a competent performance by Abraham and a brilliant performance by scofield.
More:Its so with men. I will not give in because I oppose it. Not my pride, not my spleen, nor any other of my appetites but *I* do, *I*. Is there in the midst of all this muscle no single sinew that serves no appetite of Norfolks, but is just Norfolk? There is. Give *that* some exercise, my lord.

Norfolk: Now steady Thomas!
More: And Hell think that somewhere back along your pedigree a bitch got over the wall!
Nigel Davenport is the one weak link in the cast. All growl and no heart. I don't believe they could've possibly been friends. But Scofield is brilliant.
No wayyy! He was my favorite character, hahah! Not the most complex, I suppose, but I thought he was just as much heart as growl, the dear fellow. (And this was before I realized he was played by Jack Davenport's father! :P)
"We'll end our friendship now."
"For friendship's sake?"
"Yes."
"DAFT!"
That is a true friend.

Scofield is a great boring actor, like Jeremy Irons and Nicol Williamson.
