The actor who played...

Very short - but very odd. Dreamt I was in some sort of "old people's home". I was confined to a wheelchair, yet I was very excited and was packing in preparation of some sort of outward-bounds adventure weekend (full of adrenaline-sport style assault-courses).

Before the mini-bus came to pick me up I was watching TV with some fellow oldies in the "Common Room". On the screen was some sort of retrospective documentary all about the career of an actor. Clips of an old black & white film were being shown and although I recognized the actor's very distinctive face, I couldn't quite place it..."He looks so young in this" I thought to myself.
The vintage film had a tragic-romantic tone and his role required him to wear lots of bulky metallic armour. The documentary stated that this was "His most famous & beloved role" for which he would be forever remember.

As I wracked my brains trying to remember where I knew the actor from one of the old ladies in the common room made a comment along the lines of "He's not very convincing is he!" and there was a murmur of geriatric agreement. Then it came back to me - Of course - I knew who he was! Who could forget that strangely long face. I recognised him from the Patrick Swayze crowd-pleaser "Ghost". He was the guy who played the slightly deranged Subway Ghost (who kept shouting "GET OFF MY TRAIN").

Next thing I know I'm in the documentary and I'm interviewing the actor.
"So what's your next big project?" I asked him.
"Well," he said, " I'm going to be starring in an updated version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera"
"Wow, really?"
"Yes...It's going to be set in the future and I'm really looking forward to it."

I've no idea why I dreamt about this guy - I haven't watched "Ghost" for ages or seen him in anything else...Looked him up on IMDB and apparently his name's Vincent Schiavelli.
