...Four Weddings, he appeared in a string of what he calls "Europuddings"--but Grant is delighted to remind us. "I was always a champagne baron for some reason," he says. "I did Judith Krantz's Till We Meet Again. I was the villainous half-brother Bruno, who rapes Courteney Cox and steals all the family champagne and gives it to the Nazis--fantastic. And there's a very good one based on the Barbara Cartland novel Cupid Rides Pillion. I was the highwayman. When I'm uncomfortable in a role, my voice goes high, so it's quite amusing...
