True Confessions
Til I saw Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I knew nothing of Toby Stephens. I was but half alive. But from the moment I saw him onscreen, I felt as though my life would never be the same. Here was an actor whose face, presence, and general character caused my heart to skip many a beat. The feelings this wonderful actor has awakened in me are unlike anything I have felt since I first saw the glorious CF many a moon ago. And once again I am drawn to the drool pond, hoping to find some kindred spirits to share in
y utter distraction.
Say there is someone out there who understands me!!!!!

I understand you Arnessa! I really liked Toby in Tenant also. I didn't notice him until then. I know I've seen him somewhere else before but can't recall.
Will anybody be so kind as to enlighten me with his filmography?
For some odd reason, I had a very strong feeling that someone would create a Toby Stephens topic here at the Spring. Thank you kindly, Arnessa.

Hi Arnessa!
I first saw Tenant in June when it was broadcasted here in Canada on the CBC and immediately fell head iver heels for Toby. The man is absolutely scrumptious! I especially replay the scene over and over again when he kisses Helen... Oh to die for! To be on the receiving end of one of his kisses.. wouldn't that be heavenly!
I immediately went searching on the net for pages dedicated to this hunk of burning love but found nothing to my great chagrin. From articles I've read, I found out that he's the son of Dame Maggie Smith and starred in the Camomile Lawn along with Jennifer Ehle and even had an affair with her. Does this girl have great taste or what?
He was also recently in a movie called Twelth Night with another favorite actor of mine Helena Bonham Carter, who just happened to play Maggie Smith's cousin Lucy in A Room with A View. Anyway, there's a scene in Twelth Night where Toby is taking a bath, no excuse me, being given a sponge bath by the woman who's in love with him and well... let's just say it puts me over the edge!
He's an up and coming star, gorgeous and talented. Here's hoping his future projects will reveal more and more of his magnificently built form!

Thanks Alicia and Lisa for letting me know I am not alone.
In Tenant, I also love the scene where he kisses Helen. The way he just quiets all her protestations. "Do you know what love is?" Yeah, I bet he does....
Anyway I loved the weird camera tricks and closeups, like one time Mr. Markham is walking to Wildfell Hall and all the camera focuses on is his lips!!!! I love that. I love it. I love it. I wish I had a picture of just Toby's lips to scan in here.
"Here's hoping his future projects will reveal more and more of his
magnificently built form!" I'm with you on that, Lisa.
I will definitely see Twelfth Night when it plays here. Toby getting a sponge bath! I wouldn't miss it for the world. I like Helena, too. She's in a new movie out now. I forget the name, but I saw it. And it's really deep.
I wish there were more on the net about Toby, too. There must be a site somewhere. I'll keep looking.

(Lisa)I first saw Tenant in June when it was broadcasted here in Canada on the CBC and immediately fell
head iver heels for Toby.
So you're in Canada? Do you watch "Due South"? It's my favorite TV show. Paul Gross is in it and he is absolutely marverlous in it.
I especially replay the scene over and
over again when he kisses Helen... Oh to die for! To be on the receiving end of one of his kisses..
wouldn't that be heavenly!
I love that scene too. It's very gratifying.
From articles I've read, I found out that he's the son of Dame Maggie
Smith and starred in the Camomile Lawn along with Jennifer Ehle and even had an affair with her.
So he's Maggie's SON! I loved her in "A Room with a View." It's the most romantic movie. Love everyone in it. He and Jennifer Ehle! She's a lucky...
He was also recently in a movie called Twelth Night with another favorite actor of mine Helena
Bonham Carter, who just happened to play Maggie Smith's cousin Lucy in A Room with A View.
So that's where I've seen him. I haven't seen the movie but I saw posters for it all over the place when it was released in the US.
(Arnessa)Anyway I loved the weird camera tricks and closeups, like one time Mr. Markham is walking to
Wildfell Hall and all the camera focuses on is his lips!!!!
Yes, I love that close up of his mouth. He does have wonderful lips! Perfect for kissing, I say.
So what's his next project?

Alicia,
I LOVE DUE SOUTH!!!!!!!! Finally, a Canadian TV show I am proud of. It's so funny and Paul Gross in that mountie uniform..... Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Delectible! I think he could have played a great Darcy. He's the right height, and drop dead gorgeous too!
They replay the old episodes on a channel here called Showcase every week-end and I'm still waiting to see the "All the Kings Men" when he's traveling on the train with Leslie Nielsen. I couldn't stop laughing when all those mounties started singing that song, (I forget which one) just too damn funny! I especially loved the part where he kissed Meg Thatcher. It was so unexpected, so hot, so rewarding! I just hope they kindle it this year. Did you see the episode where Thatcher is a witness to a crime alon
with "Ray" and the police captain? I loved it when she was recounting how Frasier was running, you could feel her want of him. Terrific episode. I also love Francesca's desire for him... she kills me!
I also love the use of names on this show, from Diefenbaker,(a dead Canadian prime minister), a deaf wolf who reads lips.. hillarious! to his new partner, Stanley Kowolski and his ex-wife Stella (too funny!). I miss David Marciano though. He and Paul had great chemistry together but so far the new guy's not too bad.
Arnessa,
Twelth Night is out on video. Go to blockbuster and get it and forward to that scene... you wont be disappointed! I think I should go rent it again.... I need a Toby fix!

Hoorah! I've met another Due South fan. How funny that you should mention that Paul Gross would have made a great Darcy. I posted in another topic that one of the reasons that I really like PG was that he reminded me of Colin Firth but w/o the accent.
"All the Kings Men" is actually "All the Queen's Horses" my FAVORITE episode.
And the song that all the mounties sang and also sung beautifully by PG is "Ride Forever." The song is in the DS soundtrack and also in PG's new album,"Two Houses."
I especially loved the part where he kissed Meg Thatcher.
That's my favorite scene along with when PG and Leslie Nielsen talk through the toilet. It was so passionate. I love it when he says "It's a runaway..."
Aaaaahhhh, sigh.
Did you see the episode where Thatcher is a witness to a crime alon
with "Ray" and the police captain? I loved it when she was recounting how Frasier was running, you could feel her want of him. Terrific episode.
Yeah, I love that episode too (Seeing is Believing). It's one of the best of season 3 along with Bounty Hunter. MT wants him soooooo bad but she's in denial. I wonder if he still has feelings for her.
I miss David Marciano though. He and Paul had great chemistry together but so far the new guy's not too bad.
Yes, I definitely miss Dave too. But Ray/Stan is a good replacement.I love the whole Marlon Brando thing.
Not to abandon Toby altogether. I am going to rent Twelfth Night. Helena Bohem-Carter is one of my favorite actresses. BTW, is she related to Crispin?
So that BATH scene is that good? Can't wait to see it. Maybe it's sexier than Darcy's bath in P&P2?

Thank you Arnessa for the filmography.
So Toby was in "Orlando" too? Billy Zane is in that movie, that's how I know it.
I used to really likey Billy Z but I haven't seen him around these days. I guess I'll have to wait until "Titanic" comes out.
"Photographing Fairies" sounds very familiar. I think I read a review or something somewhere. Is this movie out yet?
Lisa, if you're in the Toronto area, I think Paul Gross is going to be signing copies of his new album in a new music store that's opening. I forgot the name of the place. I'll try to get more info on it if I can.

Unfortunately, I live in Montreal and Toronto is too far by car, about 8 hours... Canada's a big country! Apparently, the week before Due South premiered, PG was on a Canadian talk show called "Pamela Wallin Live" for the whole hour and I missed it. I'm still upset about that! I hope they replay it soon.
I was also annoyed that this past Sunday Due South wasn't on... they showed figure skating instead. As much as I love figure skating (Skate Canada International) and could watch Elvis Stojko land that quad many many times, I missed not seeing my mountie. I hope he'll be on this weekend!
Alicia, there are a lot of Due South pages on the internet and a few have fan fiction as well. My favorite are the romance ones involving Meg and Benton... so so satisfying! I haven't saved the page so I'll have to look around to give you the right address.
I really have to practice that html stuff to respond more clearly here but HBC is a distant cousin to CBC, I remember reading that somewhere, I think on the A&E page for P&P.
Go rent Twelth Night, you won't be disappointed. I would love to see the Camomile Lawn. Apparently they ran it on the CBC a few years ago... I wish I had known about it then and watched it, I have to try and get a copy somehow.

Yes, I heard about CTV pre-empting DS for skating. There was a LOT of complaining going on in the DS discussion list and in the newsgroup.
Where I live in California, the show gets pre-empted frequently and this time twice in a row! I'm dying here.
I was wondering about the DS fan fic. I'm curious about those but I haven't visited many DS sites except for the official one. So are they really good? Could you recommend me some?
I'm really curious about the Camomile Lawn too. Toby and Jennifer. Hmmmm, interesting pair.

They are 2 different movies. I just saw "Fairy Tale: A True Story" and no Toby Stephens I'm afraid. "Photographing Fairies" is not out in the US yet--imdb just gives "Fall 97" as the release date.
Arnessa, glad to see Toby caught on so quickly. ;-) I was looking for some photos to post here for you, but he's not an easy one to find! ;-(

Anybody know how old he is? My guess late twenties. I think I'd better go and put on the first hour of Tennant, that's the only part worth watching anyway, since he's barely in the rest of the movie. I need to fill up on him, it's been a while since I've watched it.

Ok, let's try and join our interest in Toby with our interest in JA. (Not that we have to, but it could be fun.)
Question:Which JA character would you like to see Toby play and why?
As for myself, I'd like to see him as either Henry Tilney or Mr. Bingley. Ok, or Capt. Wentworth. (did I say we had to pick one? oops! make that character or characters.) Because I think Toby can REALLY carry off that quality of being a likeable nice guy without being perfect are without being a pushover. Like he did in Tenant.
True, Bingley was sort of a pushover, but if Toby played him, we'd probably see a stronger Bingley, who gave into his sisters just because he thought that Jane didn't love him, don't you think? Toby probably would be a perfect Capt. Wentworth, too, because of that hot-headed quality. And now that Myretta has put up pics of Toby in uniform, I defffffinitely like what I see.
But probably since on S&S board a while back we were talking about how hard it would be to find just the right Henry Tilney, Toby immediately sprang to mind for that role. Can't you just imagine him being all witty and sweet and gentle with Catherine? I'd melt.

Very dangerous-looking. That lip curl, that arched brow is enough to send any fair maid's bosom a-heaving! I certainly hope that the release of "Fairy Tale" won't keep "Photographing Fairies" out of theaters in the U.S. I would like to see Toby in glasses on the big screen...

I could definitely see Lizzy falling for him if he played Wickham. Adrian Luckas (sp?) just didn't do it for me. W is supposed to be handsome and charming and I think he could have easily pulled that off. Imagine JE acting with both TS and CF in the same movie...... sparks would fly!

Oh Winter! You have that Empire Magazine? I didn't find out until too late that he had a feature in it, and I drove around like a droolin' fool to find it in early November...umm, don't you have a friend with a scanner? Failing that, can't you give us a few quotes from the article? I've rented TWF, 12th Night, and Orlando (don't bother, he's in it for 5 seconds) recently for a Toby fix, but I could always use another. I found Camomile Lawn, too, but only in the European format, and the rental place do
sn't rent the machines for it.(Sigh)
Toby is also going to be in a new Jessica Lange version of Cousin Bette, but since he's not listed on the web site for that movie, it's probably a small role. Still waiting for Photographing Fairies to come out Stateside, at least on video. ANY OTHER PROSPECTS?

this is for you, madeline... and yes i will try to find a scanner (and learn how to use one) and get his pic on the screen:
Toby Stephens
An new theatrical thoroughbrd finds his feet in film. Look out Daniel and Ralph...
"I have a terrible problem reading most scripts," Toby Stephens admits. "I find them very boring and one dimensional. But this one floated through my door and really stood out as it was intruiguing."
He is talking about the romantic supernatural tragedy Photographing Fairies, in which Stephens plays a widowed World War I survivor who makes a strange jounrey into the unknown.
"He's somebody going through a lot of suppressed pain. He's in denail and very sceptical about everything and then through his experience he changes quite dramatically."
Stephens was destined for things dramatic. His father was the late Robert Stephens, his mother is Dame Maggie Smith. Neither parent pushed him but he thinks his career path was inevitable because he saw so much theatre as a young child.
"Afterwards I would meet the people and see them as normal people, which was extraordinary. There was something fascinating about the whole method of it, why people dress up as different people and pretend to be other personalities."
On TV, he has made an impresion in The Camomile Lawn and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. After leading roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company, a West End run as the Stanley Kowalsi to Jessica Lange's Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire and his casting as Orsino in Trvor Nunn's Twelfth Night, his stage standing is secure-- but he has found screen acting something else again.
"The thing about film is you're hanging around for hours chatting away to peoplr and suddenly you've got to turn it on. I thought doing Twelfth Night was quite a good Segue from stage work into film because I was confident in Shakespeare, but I had to tone down enormously. You have to learn very quickly what difference different lenses make and where the camera is by observing very experienced film actors, sich as co-star Ben Kingsley.
"Working with him has been brilliant because he's incredibly focused and knows exactly what he's doing..."
-Angie Errigo, for Empire Magazine
(Toby is wearing a tight-fitted sky blue t-shirt with a big red star in the middle. ... sorta communist-chic meets rocker fashion)

Thanks so much Winter! I've read reviews of his stage work--very positive for Coriolanus and adequate for Stanley Kowalski (but how could anyone compete with the Brando legacy?) and was even flirting with the crazy idea of trying to find out if he's doing any theatre soon, and dragging my husband to London for vacation. Finances dictated sanity, however!

Just thought I'd join the Toby-adoring circle.. I saw Camomille lawn a few year ago on the telly and loved it (eventhough it certainly is rather "risqu�".. got the book too and it has a tiny photo of Toby on the back) and then Twelfth Night came and renewed my interest.. and then the Tenant... oh dear... then I found I wasn't the only one interested.. I happend to read the english magazine "Company" where he was a "watch this space" ...adorable.. those lips.. well as usual it's always nice to see that o
e isn't alone :) wish I could go to London soon.. bit closer as I live in Sweden.. but still the money question..
anyhow.. hope for more news about Toby!

We "Americans" are not privileged enough to see Camomile Lawn. Sometimes being an American can be quite detrimental. I would love to see every CF, RG, RE, TS, and whoever is a big British star over here in America.

Any takers????

To those our US cousins who haven't seen "Camomile Lawn" I would check your local PBS station....it was a joint UK Channel 4/Australian Broadcasting Corp. production.
maybe if enough people request it they will track it down....GOOD LUCK!
It is a very adult black comedy.
But it is worth it ... if only for the sequence where Toby is seen totally (and I mean totally naked)
For any Toby fan it is essential to have in you tape collection!
Anyway greetings all from down under ...welcome to 1998!

I really don't recommend the Camomile Lawn as good watching material for Toby
Stephens fans because after all, he is a bit chubby in it to say the least.
Nope, as somebody who was obsessed with Toby for about 12 months (and I mean
obsessed) I would recommend something with a bit more of the real Toby in it
like the RSC video which came out in 1994/95. It has clips of Toby strutting
his stuff in Coriolanus and in A Midsummer Night's Dream as well as a little
interview with darling Toby himself. Anyway, I don't think that any of you are
PROPER Toby fans anyway. For instance, did you know that his date of birth is
21/04/1969? Or that he doesn't like dark chocolate? Or that he calls his birth
father (who has now sadly passed away) Robert, but his mother Mummy?
And what are you all doing talking about the Camomile Lawn? Didn't any of you
see The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in 1996? If not, go and buy the video now!
But anyway, if I were you I'd go and see Toby in the flesh because a picture or
a video can never give you a taste of how gorgeous he really is!
Oh, and he's really sweet and nice too!

hm hm hmm..

But as you said, no I didn't actually know his birthday.. eventhough I think I remember reading about him calling his mum Mummy... :) So, I suppose you after all is the worst toby-natic of us Jenny! :)
Hope to actually catch him live when I next go to London (whenever that is.. this summer?? .. is he playing anything now?..

Folks,
I was just visiting the Twelth Night site at Fine Line movies in the US (....pardon me if this is really old news).... nice pics, trailers and stuff from the film.
Twelth Night has been released on tape for the unbelievable price of $99.98 eeeek! But you can buy the film poster (27"x41") for $12.95
The site is http://www.flf.com/twelfth/index.html
Unfortunately they sell only to the US.
Anyway, thought I'd pass it on.
chris
PS: I know Toby is a little pudgy in Camomile (who can talk ???) but his scenes with Jennifer Ehle are such fun ....especially when they get caught out making love!

Ok, Toby fans, all we've got is each other. I haven't heard anything about Toby's upcoming works... and The Fairy Tale (or whatever that film was) hasn't opened here. I'm going into serious Toby withdrawal. Anyone with any scrap of info, please alleviate my suffering!!!!!

AAAAH!!!!! (pant, pant pant... *big sigh*!) what a gorgeous man! thanks for scanning him in myretta! it's nice to see this pic finally up on the web.
i saw "THe Camomile Lawn" (finally!)... he does appear rather "chunky" there. but his performance was GREAT! Poor Oliver, Calypso (JE's character) was such a tease!
(BTW, i LOVE that shade of blue on him...)

From last Wednesday's VARIETY:
"TRIO JOINS "ONEGIN" CAST
LONDON (Variety) - Martin Donovan, Lena Headey and Toby Stephens have
joined the cast of "Onegin," which stars Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler and
starts shooting March 7. The pic marks the directorial debut of Martha
Fiennes, Ralph's sister. It's a tragic romance set in 19th-century Russia,
adapted from Alexander Pushkin's classic verse novel "Eugene Onegin"
Looks like TS is in good company.
Will this be his first Big Screen role?

Hi! I'm new too. I've liked Toby a while, but especially since Tenant. I
love the photo of Toby from Empire magazine. Also, I have a book called
Shakespeare in Performance that contains photographs of stage and screen
productions of Shakespeare's plays. There are 3 pics of Toby from a 1994
production of Coriolanus, and one from a 1992 production of All's Well That
Ends Well. They are fabulous! One more thing: I have another pic of Toby,
his mother, and his brother from an old Vanity Fair magazine (1995, I think).
Can't find it at the moment but am seriously looking!

Oooh, how nice! At last a drool-topic in which I can really participate. I saw him recently in 12th Night, and I agree, that sponge-bath is definitely something to see :-)
Speaking about "Onegin" I presume Rafe is going to play the lead, so Toby will probably be Lensky, O's friend who has a thing for the heroine's sister. Don't want to give away too much of the plot. Never liked that poem, but with Rafe & Toby in the cast, this will definitely be a must-see
