абе аз наскоро гледам едни снимки на Бригс и си викам баси тоя човек колко прилича на ветинари
а то какво било...

а се оказа, че той си го играе от край време в пиесите... ето един откъс от интервю с него:

CN: Do you think there should be a live action film, like Harry
Potter?

SB: Not like Harry Potter but I don't see why Discworld shouldn't
be capable of being made into a GOOD film without sacrificing
its soul and without it being tediously long.

CN: If there were, would you like to play The Patrician?

SB: Defiantly.

CN: Or who would you like to see play the role, film star wise?

SB: There's no one else (laughs). Seriously, I don't know. Alan
Rickman is quite like him, although he's a bit short. Iain
Richardson is now too old. Rowan Atkinson too comedic... no,
it'll have to be me!
