POINT OF INTEREST Actor Stefan Gryff, who appeared in "Safe Conduct", was one of the "Michael J Bird repertory company" appearing in three of Bird's series - The Lotus Eaters , Who Pays The Ferryman? and The Aphrodite Inheritance . Gryff said his abiding memory of working on the story was veteran actor Oscar Homoloka, who played his boss at the Russian embassy. Gryff said Homoloka complained constantly that he was too old and could not remember his lines and how would he manage. But when the cameras began to roll Gryff said the veteran actor was word perfect and acted everyone else off the set! |
