  I went down to see HERMAN for a drink and a quick chat recently. Although he is on the threshold of making a big name for himself as PETER BLAIR NOONE - actor, he has no intention of turning his back on the pop scene. In fact he was just off to produce a session."I've found this new singer - you haven't heard of him yet! All I will tell you is that it's a solo. HE and I think he's very good!" But before we rushed off we managed to chat a bit. He is very pleased with his new British single, the GRAHAM GOULDMAN composition "No Milk Today". It shows great maturity and the voice is that of a singer and not of the 'boy next door'. But he was not so happy about his film 'Hold On'. "It was rather a typical film really ... written especially for me - which never works. I want ordinary scripts not ones that you end up playing what somebody else thinks of as yourself!" Then, somehow we got sidetracked to talking about commercials. "It's all down to suggestions," he ended up with ... I can't mention the actual commercials we talked about - that would be advertising! If ever HERMAN gives up being on the front of the scene I could easily imagine him as an advertising executive. I can just see his name on a door in gold lettering! And he would be good at it, he's a bright lad is HERMAN! P.S. he was out of fags and smoked mine ... you owe me another pack now HERMAN! |
