      2020 Biography Documentary List
      Reviews When Anthony Hopkins said that actors 'needed to stay hungry', he appealed to those who had both tasted success and those who still strove to obtain it. Those who were literally trying to find their next meal.

The person who had guided Hopkins through his movements in front of camera was James Payton. In Mike Leigh's Vera Drake James appeared as a court reporter.
