'Hans Potterman came to me for advice': Director Seb Radcliffe

Una Clarkson, Reporter, Entertainment Network

09 September 2015, Washington DC

It's no big news that Director Seb Radcliffe and Actor Hans Potterman had a very close relationship.

In the city of stars, one does not easily form friendships that go on forever. One of the few exceptions is the friendship between Director Seb Radcliffe and Actor Hans Potterman. The two became close when Director Radcliffe worked with Potterman in the commercially successful 'Agent Jim' trilogy.

In fact, it was the director who introduced the actor to his fiancée, Laura, heiress to the Beaumont fortune in Paris.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the actor would go to his friend for advice regarding his acting career. The actor announced on the Ellen Show that he was taking a small break from his acting projects.

Our sources close to the Director reveal the details of the conversation between the actor and the director that prompted Actor Potterman to arrive at his decision. "Director Radcliffe told him ultimately it was his decision," said the source, "He also told him that he would support him whatever decision he took.

"In the end, it was what made Potterman make his decision. That, there are people who would still love him even if he were not an actor."

Actor Hans Potterman killed himself on the twenty eighth of August 2015, in his apartment in Beverly Hills.

Getting Intimate with Hans Potterman

[Clip from BBC's Chapman Show: December 25, 2002]

Chapman: Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of the BBC, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I'm hoping you're spending Yule with the people you love. Today, we are pleased to have the latest talk of the tinsel town, Hans Potterman.

[Applause]

Chapman: First off, congratulations. It must feel incredible to be appreciated for your acting finesse in your very first film.

Hans: Thank you. I was lucky enough to have known and worked with some incredible people.

Chapman: You first gained international recognition when you played Henry Howard in Enrico Gargrave's last feature 'Fitzroy'. How will you describe working with him and subsequently Giselle Norton in your latest film?

Hans: The brand name of Gargrave had become the face of "quality cinema" by the time I was booked for Fitzroy. Not many people would get the same opportunity as I did. I was fortunate enough to have already worked with two incredibly talented directors in my short career.

Chapman: If I am not mistaken, you already worked with Director Norton in a Broadway play. How different was she as a director when she was directing a movie?

Hans: The major reason why a lot of Broadway plays or musicals aren't adapted into full length films is because, you don't get to convert the depth every character has on the stage to the screen. You end up letting down at least one character because you can't do proper justice to both the actor and the part they play. I would say that Giselle Norton is versatile because she knows where to draw the line in the transition from stage to screen as most of her movies are adaptations of plays.
