I played the Scottish poet Alastair Reid in the movie Borges and Me, based on the memoir by Jay Parini and directed by Marc Turtletaub.
The film is about the Argentian writer Jorges Luis Borges, who comes to Scotland to visit my character (his translator and friend) in St Andrews. There, a young American student (Parini) played by Fionn Whitehead, who Alastair is mentoring, has to take Borges on what turns out to be a magical road trip across Scotland when the ill health of a relative takes Alastair and his son away to London.
