09/08/2005 | Disregard Paul Scofield's meager representation in the movies as proof that in the performing arts - if not elsewhere - quality matters more than quantity.
Of no other actor of any generation can it be said more fairly that he can be relied upon to contribute fully of his craft, as his performances of characters, sympathetic or not, show, in roles large, as in 'The Train', 'A Man for All Seasons' or small, as in 'Quiz Show',
'Henry V' (1989), 'Hamlet' (1990) and 'The Crucible' (1996), but most especially, in his magnificent King Lear (1971) under director Peter Brook, unrivalled except perhaps by Laurence Olivier's.
