I met Anthony hopkins around the same time I met john hurt and ian holm. I was very new to working in the west end, and had a job at 20th Century fox and often delivered mail around the west end. I saw and spoke to Anthony Hopkins coming out of the old bfi offices.
I was a huge fan of magic and the elephant man.. and he was thrilled wiht those films so was really nice to talk to.. he told me about a film he was doing that he thought would be really good and i should see it.. that film was ‘silence of the lambs’..
