Nicol Williamson Facts
He disliked actress Helen Mirren, with whom he had had an affair, when the two had appeared in a stage production of "Macbeth", and the feeling was mutual. John Boorman, the director of Excalibur (1981), purposefully cast them as rivals "Merlin" and "Morgana", against both of their protests, because he thought their real-life disdain for each other would generate more tension on screen.
He took over the leading role in "Laughter In The Dark" (1969) at short notice when Richard Burton, at the time the highest-paid actor in the world, was fired by director Tony Richardson.
