Who is Jeremy Brett?

Mr Jeremy Brett (1933-1995) was a versatile British actor with a distinguished 40-year career legacy, ranging from the British theatre, film, television, Broadway and even off-Broadway stages. He has been in such diverse rôles as Bassanio, Dorian Gray, Dracula, Freddie Eynsford-Hill, Hamlet, Maxim de Winter, William Tatham, and Robert Browning. Yet he is perhaps best known in America, or around the world, for his definitive portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the Granada television series, in which he played for over a decade.

Why a discussion club?

Simple reasons:
1. A fun and manageable way to talk about all thing Jeremy Brett. Therefore, it is not simply limited to merely "Sherlock Holmes."
2. A social and courteous, thus non-threatening, place where Brettians (or Brett fans) can meet and share common interests.
3. A tribute to his memory and influence. May it live on for all time...

What are the rules?

The rules consist of the following (so far):
1. No "junk mail", "spam", "chain letters", unsolicited advertising, or other unsolicited mass distribution of email or posts that have no purpose to the subject of this club.
2. Must be kind and be courteous to other members of this club. Highly offense language and/or abusive content will NOT be tolerated.
3. Try to keep it "family-friendly". (Kids come in here, too, you know.)

Any violations of these rules will result in dissolved membership of this club.
