Geoffrey Rush non-FIP maximum card, by Australia Post


Geoffrey Rush, originally uploaded by enokilover.
Two stamps, not one!...."sacrilege against FIP!"...:)

....and the actor is alive!
The USPS wouldn't issue a stamp about a living person. Gotta wait 5 years after death, or 1 year after a US President's death.
But Australia Post, and a few other more open-minded postal administrations, see no problem with that. Just opportunities.

That's how USPS has lost, over time, many millions of dollars in potential revenue: "no living persons featured on [USPS] stamps!".
One of the worst postal/philatelic decisions ever made.

I like Geoffrey -  I think he his a non-flamboyantly clever man, who knows how to be a very convincing actor with as little as eye/gaze/smile play. He doesn't need to gesticulate a lot, to stretch his face, to shout and other idiotic/buffoonish things.
Even if he could perhaps do all of the above, if required by the role, he can surely act in a subtler way.
Hunks and studs are gorgeous and useful, but occasionally you may enjoy watching or interacting with a clever, in a non-annoying way, man.

Best wishes to you and yours, Geoffrey! :)
