Phil Davis pays tribute to maverick director Alan Clarke as he looks back on his time acting in the 1989 made-for-television film The Firm.
Phil recalls how he was cast in the role as the sleek, villainous 'Yeti' and how excited he was to work on this powerful and subversive film about football hooliganism. He gets under the skin of the characters, explaining why they were attracted to mindless violence.
The actor also reveals how the cast, including Gary Oldman and Lesley Manville, all relished the opportunity to not only play these divisive roles but to work with Clarke, one of the finest directors of his generation, on what would sadly be his last piece of work.
