The Power behind the Throne

One of my favorites in Troy is Nestor because he is the quintessential introvert. He stands thoughtfully by and compliments the energy of the outrageous extrovert, Agamemnon.
 


Here is an excerpt from the latest INTROVERTS COMING OUT SERIES, a lovely lady name KATI. This is from KATI's STORY

"My story would not be complete without naming the beautiful woman named Elizabeth who shared some of the simplest yet profound wisdom with us all. She started off by reminding us that no one test can define us. [She was administering an MBTI personality inventory]. Then came the word introvert. This was me -- the test said so. Then came the best part -- She said that we are all valued. That even thought the western world put a high value on extroverted talents, extroverts needed introverts in very important ways. We are the counselor to their warrior king/queen. We are the sage hermits that the world needs to remain in balance. 

I think we might take this a step further and contemplate that we might be the natural result of evolution and that some day we will be the majority.

Nestor was a great "Hermit" type. If you see the movie more than once, you'll see the power behind the throne. I am especially thinking of the scene where Agamemnon (Brian Cox) is screaming "I built Greece, Nestor, I..." Watch Nestor's expression of deep understanding but also compassion for what this man is ... and can never be.

John Shrapnel also had the role of Senator Gaius in The Gladiator and a part in Notting Hill.
