[Mb-civic] Tom Harper in London

[Alexander Harper]

That's my boy!! Thanks for posting it, Michael. Have you seen him in 'The Upside of Anger' with Kevin Costner and Joan Allen? He plays her son-in-law. His part was much truncated but good to see him at all in a big film. It premieres down here in BsAs next week.
Love Toro
