"Don't be surprised if I change every word," Meillon said when I introduced myself to him as the writer of Go Fish Australia. He was testing me, so I replied, "If you're paid to change what I write. that's fine by me." Hehe. He didn't change a damn thing. Great actor. Loved a beer but a great actor.
