Richard Curtis

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) features the speech I delivered at each acting audition I attempted during my theatrical phase. It worked every time but once, and I suspect…that is I think…that there really wasn’t much acting, per se, to be done. The accent was the only bit of performance, and—not to blow my horn—it was terribly good, but to put it a slightly different way, those auditions felt like dropping the daily performance and being myself…which is odd, given that I have a last name and a job and am married, though not to anyone I met at a wedding, despite the apparent probabilities of that sort of thing.
