Robert Louis Stevenson wrote: “A friend is a gift you give yourself.” So it’s a double treasure when a friend gives you another friend. That was the case when Ian McShane brought Neil Dickson to my home in 1989. Like Bogart said in Casablanca, it was the start of a beautiful friendship. This marvelous English actor has delighted both West End audiences in The Gay Lord Quex and moviegoers in Biggles: Adventures in Time. His TV credits include The Winds of War, AD, She Wolf of London, and, most recently, Mad Men. I directed him in the short film The Favour of Your Company in which he played Nigel Shepherd, a role he continued in my play Magi at The Actors Studio. He is presently being heralded for his performance in Stephen Wyatt's play The Standard Bearer and is riveting as fugitive hit man Clive Atwill in my web series Atwill.
