Bill Nighy in ‘Coping Strategies’
October 18th, 2007
From the (UK) Guardian:
Dapper actor Bill Nighy is used to appearing alongside Hollywood’s biggest names, including Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp. But his latest film - which premieres in London - is a rather different project.
Nighy … makes a cameo appearance as a right-on social worker in the film Coping Strategies, the story of a young man’s journey from his family home to independent living.
The surreal comedy has been made by Moment by Moment, a theatre company set up by the housing organisation Yarrow to integrate actors with and without learning disabilities
…. [Says Nighy,] “Because everyone is on an equal footing in the Moment by Moment Theatre Company, they stop seeing themselves as a person with or without a disability. They simply become just actors working together.”
