NY Times : Bill Nighy is one undeniably cool character

“IMMACULATELY elegant, impeccably mannered and not a little groovy, Bill Nighy is one undeniably cool character.” Nice opening of an article in the New York times, about Bill Nighy and The Vertical Hour.

Here are some highlights:

David Hare about Bill:
“Once you have in him in your sights, it’s hard to forget him.”

“He’s the man who is witty and good looking and looks like you’d have a thoroughly enjoyable evening with before you did what you did.”

Bill about Bill:
“David Hare has been the most influential person in my professional life, really,” Mr. Nighy said. “And to come to New York in these circumstances and to have it be David’s play at this point in my life is, when you feed that into the computer, a pretty good situation for me.”

Richard Curtis about Bill:
“If I were a studio executive, I think the luckiest thing you could do for yourself would to have Bill get a happy ending in something.”
