Over the years I've played a few scurrilous characters - drunken cowboys, lascivious lovers, scheming murderers, abominable boors, etc - and I have a reputation for throwing myself into character.  However, when my wife was recently asked by a friend which one she liked living with the least on the occasions they "slipped out" at home, I was surprised that none of the above were her choice.

 

She picked the "bumbling, forgetful, slow on the uptake" husband I played and won an acting award for.  I didn't have the heart to tell her he probably wasn't "slipping out" but I'm just getting senile.
