Richard Griffiths passed away a few days ago. I decided to make him Mascot of the Month. I have seen him twice on Broadway and have always admired his acting.

The first time Eddie and I saw him, he was staring in The History Boys - a role he repeated in the film. It was a great play with some real future amazing talent including; James Corden who starred in Gavin and Stacy in the UK and won the Tony for
Two Men, One Govern'r, and Dominic Cooper who has been a ton of stuff).

| With Daniel Radcliff in Equuus (the horse choreography was by an old Mascot - Spencer ) |
The next thing I saw him in (on Broadway) was Equus with Daniel Radcliff and Kate Mulgrew. He was amazing.
.
He was most popular in the movies as Harry Potter's evil(ish) Uncle Vernon Dursley. What was amazing to see on stage was how big he was. I mean - huge. But you quickly forgot about it as he inhabited roles.
