Tom Hollander, actor
Michael is probably our greatest living stage actor, and a wonderfully engaging man. He loves flying; his brother is a professional pilot and Michael himself has a pilot's licence. Once, the actor Terence Rigby confessed to him that he was scared of flying, so Michael insisted that he could cure him by taking him up in his two-seater. Everything went smoothly, but then just as Michael was banking to the left over Woolwich and beginning his descent, he pretended to have a heart attack. He slumped to one side and collapsed over the controls, with his tongue drooling out. The engines went into a high-pitched whine, the ground was looming up and Michael covertly watched his passenger to see how he was taking it. But Rigby was completely cool, puffing fatalistically on a cigarette. So Michael cured him.
