Not feeling too well (yay), but every once in a while I remember William Russell's Ben Hur screen test. It's funny how the man who didn't want to go to Hollywood kept finding himself brushing with it.
That was a cool clip - and, heh, a very blond Russ! I also liked seeing George Baker as himself at the end - I've seen him in loads of things, he's always rather stolid and, idk what the word is, so it was so weird to see him suddenly just not like that at all when he was answering their questions and smiling.

And yeah :D Gotta love when stuff like this gets released to the public.
