Happy Birthday |
Today on this special day I want to celebrate and give thanks to Richard Armitage for his wonderful audio books.
Thanks to RA I share my commute to and from work with Damerel, Rule, Sylvester, Guy of Gisborne, Uhtred of Bebbanburg and a host of intriguing characters.
Richard Armitage's reading or more accurately performance, of Bernard Cornwell's The Lords of the North is a tour de force. This photo vidlet is only a small taste of Armitage as Uhtred of Bebbanburg. He creates not just an unforgettable Uhtred but an entire world of characters. No matter how many times I listen to Lords of the North I soon forget that it's only Armitage doing all the voices and I'm soon not in my own humdrum 21st century life but in the midst of a shield wall in 9th Century Britain.
On his 41st Birthday today here is my heartfelt but inadequate tribute to Richard Armitage and his voice work in those marvelous audio books:

Hope you're enjoying your stay here in the U.S. and feeling all the affection your fans on this side of the pond have for you.
Feliz Cumpleaños - Happy Birthday
Richard Armitage
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee
William Shakespeare, Sonnet XLIII
