Philip- can you get some of this info to me?
I have but a few disadvantages to me:
I am taller than 5'7" (actually 5'8 1/2", but proclaim 5'10")
I am American (they use that excuse for "Doctor Who" casting...)
I would need to have assistance getting to London.
Advantages:
I have "hobbit feet"- despite scars, I have hairy feet & toes, and leathery heels
I am a rather rotund person (last known weight: 265 lbs., and my main weight is in my belly)
I have had a fair amount of experience in the realm of threatre...Musicals, in particular.
To see a picture of me, look on the "Show Us What You Look Like" thread.
Let me know what is up.
Thank You Kindly, sir.
