This has been a very important week in the acting career of 21-year-old Simon

This has been a very important week in the acting career of 21-year-old Simon MacCorkindale. He has been making his first professional appearance - at the Belgrade Theatre in Terence Rattigans " A Bequest to the Nation." In it he plays a sea captain called Blackwood. And the character is pretty apt, because Simon, the son of an air pilot, has done more travelling in his life than most of us care to think about.

I was not involved in the services, so I had more time than anybody else, I ended up directing, producing and acting in the plays we did. " When I left school, I went to drama school in London called Studio 68 of Theatre Arts." There he learnt a lot more about acting. They concentrated a lot on voice training and movement, and they did monthly productions, which really sharpened them up. Simon left there in September 1972 but struggled to break into the profession. " In the end I did a TV commercial - but only to get my card. I hate commercials, and think they are immoral. I hate the idea of an actor standing there and pushing a product down the throats of the unsuspecting public. Particularly if the actor doesn t even like the product himself." But before he secured tho role at the Belgrade, Simon went through the period every actor fears - unemployment. " It was a terrible time, " he says. " I was irritable and bad-tempered.
