Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston is my new best friend! Well, perhaps a slight exaggeration, but we met recently and chatted about all things Woody Allen, playing F. Scott Fitzgerald in the current Woody offering of sophisticated movie making, Midnight in Paris. We also waxed rhapsodic about Patrick Doyle! You can hear about all of this by clicking here. There's also a special message he recorded for Patrick here. Enjoy!
