   You’re missing a closing tag somewhere around “One thing I noticed when you talk about Paul’s pride”. But this is a great interview, and Michael really does sound like a lot of fun to chat with.

   Great interview – can’t wait to read the rest. Michael is right – they do have the coolest job in the world.

   (And I’ve always spelled it ‘Gladii’ myself, but then I never took Latin….)

   Michael sounds great, but I have no love or sympathy for Kinsey. He is one of those people who skate by with just enough talent, but not much originality. It’s interesting that MW used him as a device to bring civil rights into the show.

   Part One of the interview with Michael was a joy to read and I’m looking forward to the next installment!

   Paul Kinsey is one of my favorite characters on the show.

   Personally, I think he’s got plenty of talent. The trouble is that his imagination and temperament don’t lend themselves to advertising in 1963. The coming changes in the field and in society will find Paul becoming a shining star.

   [Hey Deborah! Next time you chat with Michael, find out if Kinsey smokes Mixture No.79 pipe tobacco, which was Hugh Hefner's blend. There used to be (and may still be) ads in Playboy that read: "What Sort Of Man Reads Playboy?" and Paul Kinsey has always struck me as the magazine's key demo.]

   Having taken three years of Latin, I’d say the “proper” plural form is most likely Gladeis, but Gladii definitely looks better aesthetically. [/nerd]

   I love that the actors on the show are as into the deeper meanings as we are. Having a dialogue / discussion amongst ourselves is even more fun when a cast member can be counted as One Of Us, since they really know their characters’ motivations rather than having to guess.

   Great to have the confirmation about Paul’s “My God” at the end of The Color Blue. It’s exactly what I thought was meant. Amazing that an actor can get across that much with just two syllables.
