HMS Surprise midshipmen! grown up!
Top tier Aubreyad experience earlier this week - at the (sold out!) Animus screening of Master and Commander at the Prince Charles Cinema: 5 of the actors randomly showed up, apparently having bought tickets?? and were brought onstage and pressed for an anecdote
A foremast jack and four midshipmen!
Alex Palmer who played ‘never met a dead man who bought me a drink’ Nehemiah Slade, Jack Randall who played Boyle the midshipman, Lee Ingleby who played the unfortunate Mr Hollom, and, of course, Max Pirkis and Max Benitz, who played the tiny Mr Blakeney and Mr Calamy respectively. Delightful anecdotes of how they’re all still friends, and had arranged a dinner with the lads and figured they come and see it. They seemed genuinely amazed and delighted that the screening sold out, and told some tales of life during the shoot: music Peter Weir would play on set, and birthday parties they had during filming.
