I wasn't able to retrieve the actual article content — the text provided is just the page's navigation/menu boilerplate ("MusicFilmTravelArtNews Shop Mailing List…") rather than the article body, and I don't have permission to fetch the live page myself (the request was denied).

Could you paste the full article text, or grant WebFetch access so I can pull it directly? Once I have the actual content (who the actor is, which 2006 film — likely *The Prestige* — and the quote about Nolan "begging" them), I can produce an accurate summary.
