I'm going to see him in August in Stratford - he's in Henry IV, playing Sir John Falstaff.
I'll probably just ask him to sign the play brochure or booklet or whatever you get when you attend an RSC performance, like I did with the actors at the Invasion back in March. Or i might get a photo printed, who knows. Definitely one of him in something Shakespearean, anything else would be an insult.
We all have our crushes - before him it was Peter Davison, omg, for the better part of 17 years. Then i met the guy in March and decided he's definitely cute, but not for me. He was so dour it wasn't funny, and I can't see myself idolising someone like that. Success has totally gone to his head, he's not on planet earth any more. No thanks.
David, otoh, was illegitimate, his father a Russian jew, and he spent his childhood being snatched back and forth between parents. Acting was the only thing he could do well, he utterly failed at school. His Hamlet is reknown throughout england, hell, Colin Baker and Peter Davison were talking at the invasion about David Warner's Hamlet as their insipration to be an actor!
And he seems genuinely grateful to have work, to do things, and to have fans, so he's a lot more along the lines of someone i'd want to admire, kwim? And he's GORGEOUS, damnit!! Even if he doesn't think so and never thought so, *I* do.
I found a bunch of cool pics of him up on the RSC website in their exhibitions section - him as Hamlet in 66, etc. I will be iconising, shortly. *salivates all over keyboard* Alas poor Yorick... mmmmmmmmm.
