My Take
Bernard Miles is the sort of figure I find genuinely inspiring. A gifted character actor known for rustic, salt-of-the-earth roles, he was never content to merely perform. In 1959 he founded the Mermaid Theatre, the first new playhouse in the City of London since the seventeenth century, which is an extraordinary act of cultural ambition. Add to that his work as a writer, director and even politician, plus a CBE and a knighthood, and you have a man who built institutions rather than just careers. I deeply respect artists who create the stage as well as stand upon it.
