...from drama school to the stage of London's Donmar Warehouse to film and television. Then one day he heard Schumacher was holding auditions in London for Tigerland. Not having read the script, Farrell-who uses swearwords as freely as most people use nouns-earned himself a callback on charm alone. After a few more auditions, the actor was awakened by a phone call. It was Schumacher: "You wanna make a movie...
...understands the complications of everyday living, yet is equipped with the mental tools to solve national problems? Chen communicates that sort of pragmatic intelligence. He's a Taiwanese Al Gore, and that's part of his problem. He could do with a bit more Clintonian warmth and charm. He struggles to connect, which is surprising, considering that during his campaign he conceived and delivered a cuddly, cute sort of marketability--the doe-eyed A-bian doll, which by all accounts, helped him charm younger voters in last year's election...
...prop for the conservatives in his party. The latest Japanese government has its share of opacity too. It arrived in office four weeks ago to the highest hopes of any government in the past decade.

...knew a man - short, bald, of undetectable charm - who was a virtual bigamist. He had a wife and family in the suburbs and something of the same arrangement, though without benefit of clergy, in town. He lived a complex double life - a secret agent in his own existence, half of him a stranger to the other half. Which was perhaps his way of keeping himself amused. He often had to eat two dinners: once, in early evening after work, with his in-town woman, and a few hours later - after "working late at the office" - with his wife. No wonder...
