TOEIC ETS

Famous Actor, First Book LONDON (25 February)-Fans of Simon Eklund will be delighted with his autobiography, The Theatre Lights Dimmed, the first book he has written in his storied career as an actor. It provides wonderful insight into his career, starting with his first roles in cinema in his native Sweden, moving into his work in France and Italy, and finishing with his recent theatre work in the U.K. In his book, Mr. Eklund dedicates a fair amount of text to discussing his mentor, Charles Gunnarsson, who helped him develop his skills early on in Stockholm. He also describes the difficulty of transitioning into different types of roles, especially from comedic to dramatic acting. He includes several funny anecdotes about his first attempts at acting onstage here in London. He describes them as disastrous, but anyone who saw his recent performance in Life and Games would say just the opposite. Mr. Eklund has long been a captivating actor on stage and screen, and now he is a thoroughly engaging author. -Uma Joshi ===== To: Edith Hocking From: Uma Joshi Date: 2 March Subject: RE: Opportunity Dear Edith, Thank you for agreeing to arrange an interview with Mr. Eklund for me.
