Roof forgets his RnR lines

"This report comes second hand, but the source is impeccable, so I report it as truth:
Rufus Sewell went up on his lines. He called for "line" and then turned to the audience to ask permission to begin the scene over again -- which they did. Perhaps Rufus was nervous because Al Pacino and Bruce Willis were in attendance......."

Poor Roof - but that happens even to the best of the best, and the thread continues and apparently he recovered beautifully.

Bless him, of course it does, but my heart still goes out to him.

Roof needn't worry, Al Pacino hasn't done anything noteworthy since "Glengarry Glen Ross" and I'm still waiting to see Bruce Willis's talent.......MEOW, I know, but a genius like Ru is allowed to have his minor errors, isn't he?

Bet he kicked himself afterwards.

"to err is human, to forgive , divine"...hope he's not giving himself a rough time about it.

yeah-forgetting lines is nothing unusual - it happens to all (even great) actors...and i'm sure Rufus treated this as one of his many actor's experiences Roof-if that helps- I'd probably forget "my lines" too if i was to speak before you
