I'm interested in playing Rasputin at some point. I find him such a fascinating character and a fascinating period in Russian history. Either Rasputin or Jesus. I think I have more of a chance to play Rasputin.
Rhys IfansI play really bad punk rock guitar. Age-old friends; it's just great hanging out with your mates, causing havoc.
