Difficult to see "Edward Fox" behind the beard and soft voice, but wonderful to hear him speak fondly of this movie, my favorite movie.

Thank you so much for uploading this. I love Day of the Jackal (both the book and movie) and I'd always wanted to hear Fox talk about it.

Very nice interview, he was very engaging, but man, what a scary looking beard! I absolutely love the movie, and he played the hell out of the Jackal. Yay, Mr. Fox! He is right about the film still holding up in modern times. I think it takes on an even more special poignancy since 9/11.

(I love the way the color of his socks match his jacket perfectly.)

@aplantage , Do not be absurd, this is about British royal society, not republicanism.

[Joshricho1]

what a stunning beard!

[aplantage]

@bizzbizz100 How true! Are there petitions for something like that?

[RickSeraf]

Yes, his beard is grown for the one-man stage show that he was doing call 'An evening with Anthony Trollope'. Google 'Anthony Trollope' and you will see the resemblance.
