    I saw Anthony Hopkins at a fund raiser once around 2000, in there. I was in an audience at a small theater and he was taking questions. So I asked him in the movie Magic that he did with Ann Margaret if he was really throwing his voice in the movie or if it was just acting. I was surprised when Hopkins answered me without moving his lips at all. So yes, he did and does know how to throw his voice. Very talented actor, teaches acting also.

    A young Tony Hopkins. How perfect. How did his voice change like that between 1978 and the 1990s? I'm curious. I don't know his history that well but suddenly I want to know during which period he would drink, and smoke, and... no that's it, or so I remember. But then one day he decided to stop, using the Allen Carr method, and it worked, and he stopped.
    You can really hear his trained consonants, and enunciated syllables, from the theatre I take it. Ver-shun (soft sh, not zh, like how we would nowadays say 'version') But he still presents himself like a down-to-earth kinda young guy. He had a lot of anger, at some point, and it came out best in his good acting, but it also went into drinking.

    I'm watching that film for the first time today and just had to look a little more into it to see what Hopkins did and had to do for the role. It's very impressive when actors can commit so much to a role. So hard to ever win an award when it's a horror film though.. I remember seeing the movie poster when I was a kid and it was the scariest poster I'd ever seen..then it's like that movie disappeared. No one talks about it or reviews it. It's never ever mentioned, but we all know dolls are scary and especially these types of dolls. Burgess's acting in it are..well the guy is just so captivating in his scenes..so much heart. You really feel for him when Corkey acts out against him.
