Given the bashing--whether justly or unjustly--Charles Weinstein has
endured for bashing--whether justly or unjustly--Simon Russell Beale, it
seems a matter of simple equity to thank him for his enlightening post
referring to another much admired actor--Ian Holm.
And I liked Brian Willis's response as well.

And yet I'm sure Weinstein would agree: a bisexual like Olivier could
never be credible playing the more virile roles in the Shakespeare canon.
Oops, I'm sorry; I thought he was talking about Beale. And of course,
Olivier wasn't a fatso, so I suppose his having been a faggot is
probably OK.
