When filming THE DRESSER for the BBC, I was lucky to be assisted throughout by Tom McCormack, who I’d not previously known. He was instantly sympathetic to everything that was needed and I particularly liked the way he was alert to everyone working around us on the film, from Anthony Hopkins to the most junior runner. I couldn’t recommend him too highly as a working colleague – efficient, reliable and good-natured. His determination to explore all areas of the entertainment business is touching and I’m sure it will lead on to a hugely successful career.
