Clifford and I first met in 1993, to work in the Czech Republic on the French-US TV movie: Les Epées de Diamants or Diamond Swords. I had to shoot scenes in both French and English, with a director, Denys de la Patellière, who didn’t speak English! Clifford worked miracles with me as a French coach. Acting in French as a second language is about CONFIDENCE almost more than levels of bilingual ability… Clifford’s unique way of working instils that confidence in you.. that’s the trick, and that’s his original way of working!
