superlative comedy

You were trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. You are
renowned for your star-making turn in The Lion In Winter. You are
considered one of the greatest stage actors of your generation.

You are starved for work.

Then, one day, your agent hands you the script for Robocop 3, and the
performance calls on you to bring to bear your classical training to
its immortal dialogue.

How does an actor - even one as talented as John Castle - meet this challenge?
