In fact, there's nothing wrong in setting goals higher than your current reach, so why should Ioan not set becoming an A-lister as his goal now that he is a regularly working actor with some highly regarded roles in his resumé? And, yes, we should keep in mind that luck has a role in an actor's career, an actor's career has its ups and downs, and there's not an age by which you either are an A-lister or give up hope to ever become one.

GG, I fully agree with your comments above, especially the first paragraph. If Ioan enjoys good health, and keeps forging ahead as he so far has---------he's young enough,....nobody can predict what will enter into the future for him. I wish him much good luck in securing strong, vibrant roles because it's obvious to me that he's willing to work-----and work hard, and steadily, to accomplish his dream-----whatever it may be.

Agreed with both of you ladies. GG

Question: The 2 DVD set Versus The 1 DVD set
Wal-mart is offering a 2 DVD set of Amazing Grace, while Amazon.com only has a 1 DVD package. Does anyone know anything about the 2 DVD set? For example, what extra perks come with the 2 DVD set? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wal-mart: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7934681 Amazing Grace (Exclusive) With Bonus CD (Widescreen) $19.96 Starring: Ioan Gruffudd, Albert Finney, Michael Gambon, Romola Garai >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grace-Nicholas-Farrell/dp/B000VNMMQG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-7158196-2074201?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1194058230&sr=1-1 Amazing Grace (2006) Starring: Nicholas Farrell, Albert Finney Rating PG Price: $18.99 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25.

The Amazon link has a nice and brief clip with some of the movie, but mostly Ioan and others talking about the story. Interesting to me is that Amazon doesn't list Ioan at all (only Farrell and Finney), but he is the first to talk on the video on their webpage.

I may be wrong, but I think that the 2-disc set offered by Wal-Mart includes a dvd with the movie and all the special features that are in the regular 1-disc set and a CD with "music inspired by the motion picture" that you would normally have to buy separately, that is http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grace-Nicholas-Farrell/dp/B000VNMMQG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0481447-6302316?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1194095772&sr=1-1 + http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grace-Inspired-Motion-Picture/dp/B000LW7UUK?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1181065445&sr=8-1 Interesting to me is that Amazon doesn't list Ioan at all (only Farrell and Finney), but he is the first to talk on the video on their webpage. Yes, it's pretty interesting that they did not list the actor in the leading role. :hmm:

Hadn't heard about the Wal-mart DVD, ilovemylife, sounds like a good one. What Frances is talking about makes good marketing sense to me. I have the music CD, and it's just lovely! Very calming and devotional at the same time.

ilovemylife- 11-03-2007

Thanks Francis and Shipmate for your responses! I so try not to shop at Wal-mart, but Amazon so far doesn't have the two DVD set and the cost difference is $1.

Shipmate- 11-03-2007

Really think you'll be pleased with it, ilovemylife!

Gaffer'sGirl- 11-04-2007

I can understand Amazon mentioning Albert Finney, but Nicholas Farrell? His part isn't very big and though I recognize him from Chariots Of Fire and a few BBC dramas, I can't imagine that he's that well known, particularly in comparison to Ioan with FF coming out this year.

Frances- 11-04-2007

Perhaps Nicholas Farrell is well-known to the person who wrote AG entry on Amazon and s/he thought he must be well-known to others as well - better known than Ioan - and, therefore, a name that can attract buyers. :wink: As for Ioan, I can still recall when I got my copy of FF and realized that the dvd cover bore a review from The Sun where they mentioned Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis but not Ioan. :waaah:

Gaffer'sGirl- 11-04-2007

Quite sad, isn't it?

Frances- 11-04-2007

Yes, that's sad and quite sobering... Whenever I think Ioan is about to reach stardom, his name is overlooked in places where it should be mentioned...

StevieT- 11-04-2007

I agree with you ladies. And it's not as if he's a newbie with no works to cite, is it? Sigh........

Shipmate- 11-04-2007

Awwwwww...............not slighted again, is he?!! What's up with that?? BOOOOOOO!

Ioan Gruffudd NOT being noted EXCEPT on Amazon's video clip
...I know, I know..it is just plain a mystery that Ioan is not listed at http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grace-Nicholas-Farrell/dp/B000VNMMQG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-7158196-2074201?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1194058230&sr=1-1 ...EXCEPT on Amazon's video clip, where he starts the video and his name is clearly noted as he talks about William Wilberforce. Down below on the Amazon Amazing Grace page is this: Product Details * Actors: Nicholas Farrell, Albert Finney, Tom Fisher, Michael Gambon, Ciarán Hinds Notice anyone missing...hmmm? http://ilovemylifebrothersandsisters.blogspot.com/
