А если серьёзно, то тут по-моему вот этот случай: guv=boss.

Англоговорящая часть канадских собак говорит: бау-уау (bow-wow), франкоговорящая, вероятно, с прононсом, но врать не буду - не знаю. 

Статья о Майкле 2007 года. Говорят, что в следующем (2008) году в Уэст-Энде должен идти его мюзикл...
What's happened to ...Michael Praed
Published Date:  11 August 2007
SATURDAY night telly used to be something to look forward to, after a day of hanging about the roller disco wearing fluorescent, mismatched socks. And who among the many heroes of this early evening hour set pulses racing like no other? Why, Michael Praed of course - "Robin, Robin, [long pause] the hooded man".
The year was 1984 and it may only have run for three series, but Robin of Sherwood was top-notch Saturday night fare. Michael Praed, he of the smouldering eyes, the perfectly ADVERTISEMENT
coiffed mullet and possibly the hairiest chest on the box, roved and robbedADVERTISEMENT
  his way
through the forests of Sherwood, leading his band of merry men (including Ray Winstone) and smooching with Maid Marion.
Praed stuck with it for only two series, (he was replaced by Sir Sean's son Jason Connery - whatever happened to him, come to think of it?). But not one to squander his princely qualities (even his real name is Michael Prince - he changed it because Equity already had a Michael Prince on its books) then moved Stateside for even bigger pay and hair as Prince Michael of Moldavia in Dynasty. After 29 episodes it all ended, as these things so often do, in a wedding-day massacre that wiped out most of the cast.
With a stint as Phileas Fogg in The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne and appearances in Casualty and The Bill, Praed has kept himself occupied, even appearing as "Knight" in an Enya video. Well, a guy's gotta eat. These days, he's known mainly for his voiceover work - Mills & Boon novels, sci-fi shows and radio drama. Oh, and he's penned a musical, which is due to hit the West End next year.

О спектакле "Идеальный муж". Пишут, что Майкл, как всегда хорошо смотрится, и все костюмы у него раскошные, и голос достойный и непринужденный.
Review: An Ideal Husband, Theatre Royal
A lot of people will agree that this is Wilde's best play. Although it manages to be very funny, in this production particularly in the second half, it's less outwardly trivial than his others.
Although at times you feel that the characters are more like epigram machines than people, the whole thing is about the "gospel of gold" versus idealism, political corruption versus integrity in public life. There's also the redemptive power of love.
It resonates today.
There's a golden feel to the set, which between scenes is dominated by a huge Queen Victoria coin. The Empire is at its zenith; small wonder that the main background music is that noble opening section from Elgar's First Symphony.
The production is a bit slow and un-snappy in the first half and in the opening scene there's some inadequate projection, but after the break director Mark Piper allows it to move at the right pace.
Lord Goring, in contrast to the loving but sanctimonious Lady Chiltern (a beautiful and elegant Carol Royle), is, paradoxically, the moral centre of the play. Robert Duncan makes him not only dissolute – with his long blonde mane of untidy hair he looks like an ageing rocker – but an overtly comic character.
His encounters with his butler (Paul Aves) and with his disapproving father, the Earl of Caversham (Tony Britton) are almost set-piece routines.
Michael Praed as always, looks good in suits – all the costumes are sumptuous – but, more importantly, as Sir Robert Chiltern he gives a fine, well controlled performance. His voice is dignified and unforced.
As Mrs Cheveley, Kate O'Mara looks too doll-like at the start, but she's more convincing when she's trying to tempt her ex-lover Lord Goring back.
It's a production that never fails to be visually pleasing.

"Дримленд".

Alga он хорошо смотрится и в костюмах, и вообще. Спасибо за уточнения!!

Еще нет, насколько знаю. В 2007 году жаловался, что нет денег на постановку и надеялся, что скоро появятся. После этого ничего о мюзикле не слышала. Здесь можно послушать из него отрывок.

Есть еще четвертый: что это - приз за роль Робина Английской киноакадемии.

Из чата Майкла 2007 года:
DREAMLAND is a musical-noir. You know the kind of thing: Set in the 1940's, Private Eyes, Femme Fatelle, Good Guys/Bad Guys, set in Hollywood. The music is Big Band. Think, Frank Sinatra. That kinda thing.
