Nevertheless, his performance works, in part because he is so understatedly malevolent, in part because the question of Kravis' height (5 ft., 6 in., shoes included) is ultimately irrelevant. Pryce says this is the first time in his career he has ever played a living person. However, he hastens to point out, "I have played characters like him before." And who might they be? "Richard III," Pryce responds. "Macbeth...
