A Good Year (2006)
Playing: Young Max Skinner
Status: Released
Role: Lead
Director: Ridley Scott


Confident and cocky, headstrong and handsome, Max Skinner is a successful London banker who specializes in trading bonds. A financial barracuda on the banks of the Thames, Max devours the competition in his efforts to conquer the European market. His latest conquest has netted a tidy seven-figure profit, much to the chagrin of his Saville Row-draped rivals. Max's triumph is in perfect keeping with his philosophy: winning isn't everything, it's the only thing!

Soon thereafter, Max receives word from France alerting him to sad news: his elderly Uncle Henry has passed away. Max, Henry's closest blood relative, is the sole beneficiary of his estate, which includes a Provençal chateau and vineyard, La Siroque, where Henry cultivated grapes for over thirty years.

Max travels to the chateau where he spent his boyhood summers vacationing with his eccentric uncle, whom he hasn't seen or written to in years. While Max tends to the legal affairs of his inheritance, he is suspended from his firm, pending an investigation into his questionable bond transaction.

With his future in London in flux, Max reluctantly begins settling into life at the chateau. He reunites with the chateau's longtime vigneron, Francis Duflot (still tending the vines after three decades), whom Max remembers from his boyhood visits. Duflot's exuberant wife, Ludivine, the estate's housekeeper, warmly welcomes Max back.

Max is uncertain as to whether life in the South of France suits him. He rings up his best friend, London realtor Charlie Willis, to inquire as to what a small chateau and winery like La Siroque would command on the current market. Charlie advises Max that small wineries with a good product can bring several million dollars, as boutique wine, made in small batches, is the rage in wine shops. It's money in the bank for Max should he lose his job.

As Max fondly embraces the memories of summers past (spent with a man whose wisdom and philosophy helped Max chart his successful career) while contemplating a cloudy future, a complication arises with the sudden arrival of a determined, twentysomething California girl, Christie Roberts. Christie, a Napa Valley native, claims to be the illegitimate daughter of the deceased uncle. The revelation, if true, makes her Max's cousin and, according to French law, the beneficiary of La Siroque.

Suspecting Christie may be a fraud, Max questions her about her past while bickering with her over the fate of the vineyard, whose plonk (as the French define bad wine) rivals the worst vinegar imaginable. Max, who has tasted La Siroque's awful vin de pays, also finds some other bottles in Uncle Henry's cellar bearing the name Le Coin Perdu (‘the lost corner'). This mysterious, legendary vin de garage has fetched thousands per bottle on the black market for years, according to the fetching local cafe owner, Fanny Chenal, with whom Max has become smitten.

Where does the wine come from, and why is Duflot so insistent on staying at La Siroque whatever the vineyard's fate? And, what about some unusual vines discovered on the property by Christie, which the crusty vintner claims are experimental in nature, and a renowned oenologue has deemed unworthy?

Max's memories and the passage of time bring forth emotions and feelings he thought were long lost, and afford him a new appreciation of his late Uncle Henry's philosophy on life – and on life in Provence: "There's nowhere else in the world where one can keep busy doing so little, yet enjoy it so much!"

Freddie appears in the film as 'Young Max Skinner', the younger version of the main character (played by Russell Crowe), and appears in a subtantial amount of the film in flashbacks.

Status: Released
Role: Support
Director: Uli Edel


Academy Award® winner Anjelica Huston, Emmy® Award winner Julianna Margulies and Academy Award® nominee Joan Allen star in the Turner Network Television (TNT) Original miniseries THE MISTS OF AVALON, a magical new twist on the timeless legend of King Arthur, based on the best-selling book of the same name.

In this unique re-working of the Arthurian epic, THE MISTS OF AVALON tells the familiar tale but with an important twist: The story is told through the eyes of the women who wielded power behind King Arthur's throne. Filmed on location in Prague, THE MISTS OF AVALON follows the women of Avalon from their childhoods through the ultimate fulfillment of their destinies in the battle between Christianity and Paganism that threatens to bring down the kingdom.

As the story begins, the people of the British Isles fight valiantly against barbarian invasion. Their struggle for survival leaves little time to mend the growing schism between the new Christian faith and the old Pagan religion that has long preserved the kingdom. Viviane (Huston), The Lady of the Lake, presides as high priestess on the mist-shrouded Isle of Avalon, the pagan seat of power, and a mystical world invisible to nonbelievers. But as Christianity gains hold over England and more people turn away from the Goddess, this mysterious land becomes difficult for even the faithful to reach.

Viviane plans to save Avalon by annointing and training her niece, Morgaine (Margulies), as her successor, manipulating the royal lineage to produce Arthur, a king who will embrace both pagan beliefs and Christianity, thus saving Avalon. Allen plays Morgause, Viviane's evil sister who endeavors to thwart her plans. Goodall plays Igraine, sister to Viviane and Morgause, and mother of Arthur. Mathis plays Gwenhwyfar, Arthur's wife, Atterton plays Arthur and Vartan plays Lancelot.
