Well folks, we’ve sure moved beyond the “Dialogues of the Carmelites”-model of Catholic-based entertainment.

Question for Mr. Plummer: Which role do you believe prepared you the best for the role of Cardinal Law? Captain von Trapp, SS-Obersturmbannführer Herbert Kappler, the Duke of Wellington, or General Chang of the Klingon Empire?
