I don't think I'll be able to make a good picture of Nicolas Andersen though, no matter how much I try, because my idea of him as a character is kind of more a feeling than an actual visual image in my mind. My idea of him is that he is, in a sense, the ultimate politician, in that he can convince everyone that he is, fundamentally, on their side. That in the end, he understands all their concerns precisely, and he will fight for them, but, alas, politics is the art of the possible, sometimes, you have to be pragmatic, sometimes you have to compromise, and it's a shame and everything, but there you have it. But you can trust me, I am on your side.
Thus, I feel that if one were to depict him, one would sort of have to make allowance for, who is it who is looking at him? Through whose eyes are we seeing him? That sort of depending on who he is dealing with, he appears younger than he really is, he appears older than he really is, he appears more handsome than he really is, he appears uglier than he really is, etc. That he always appears to be precisely the sort of individual that the person who is looking at him wants him to be.
Like, in my many, many notes I keep around about my characters, I have it written this idea that you know, the ultimate film to be made about him would be, he has died, his funeral has passed, a bunch of people meet at a bar, none of them have met one another before, each one have a story to tell of when they met him, and how they found him to be a wonderful chap and everything, only the thing is, in every single one of the stories in this anthology, he is portrayed by a different actor.
Alas, as in all things, my ambition far, far outweighs my ability. Still, I consider myself blessed that I have the small loyal group of followers on this forum.
