The subject says it all. I have a bet on this one. Does he
have a lisp in real life?

Don't think so. Check out Jacobi's performance as the chorus in Henry V. (He
played a character with a repressed stutter in Dead Again, though.)

His Hamlet (on PBS some years ago) was the best I ever saw. I saw him in
Much Ado at Lincoln Center. No lisp. The stutter he mastered in "I
Claudius". If one could control it, would one *choose* to lisp?
