Berkoff in Fair Gamestevenberkoff

Films have transported me to many lands, but then I have usually been a passenger on someone else's carpet


Berkoff acts in films, television and advertisements to subsidise his theatre work. He is usually typecast as the villain. His performances in the roles are professional and enjoyable (Rambo) and where he is allowed to play other characters (Revolution) he excels.  After Beverly Hills Cop Berkoff could have cultivated a lucrative career in films.  But he had little interest in such films other than subsidising his theatre work.    The cinema's loss is our gain.

Berkoff´s character Harry in his short story Agent (from Graft) says "most films had little space for such quixotic creatures as actors. Characters were now divided into two archetypes in the Hollywood lexicon; ´good guys´ or ´bad guys´...everything is reduced to primary colours...as Shakespeare's weapon was verse, the film's weapon was the gun. It would severely strain their imagination to make a film without one".
