(66,286 posts)There's a story that he once abruptly broke character during a performance of Hamlet, walked off stage and didn't return, saying he couldn't give any more to the character.
I really admire D D-L, but when I heard that, I didn't think "He's a tortured genius." I thought: "How incredibly unprofessional."

If I've gotten great art from someone, I'm thankful and grateful, and if they don't want to do more, I totally understand that.
