- Sir Peter Alexander Ustinov CBE FRSA (born Peter Alexander Freiherr von Ustinov /ˈ(j)uːstɪnɒf/; 16 April 1921 - 28 March 2004) was a British actor, filmmaker and writer. An internationally known raconteur, he was a fixture on television talk shows and lecture circuits for much of his career. An intellectual and diplomat, he held various academic posts and served as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and president of the World Federalist Movement.
Ustinov was the winner of numerous awards during his life, including two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor, Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, and BAFTA Awards for acting, and a Grammy Award for best recording for children, as well as the recipient of governmental honours from, amongst others, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He also displayed a unique cultural versatility which frequently earned him the accolade of a Renaissance man. Miklós Rózsa, composer of the music for Quo Vadis and of numerous concert works, dedicated his String Quartet No. 1, Op. 22 (1950) to Ustinov.
In 2003, Durham University changed the name of its Graduate Society to Ustinov College in honour of the significant contributions Ustinov had made as chancellor of the university from 1992 until his death.

What is the name of the host doing the interview?
इदमन्धतमः कृत्स्नं जायेत भुवनत्रयम्। यदि शब्दाह्वयं ज्योतिरासंसारं न दीप्यते॥
"The three worlds would have been completely (submerged) in the darkest darkness were it not for the brilliance of language that shines through the worlds." -- Indian poet and aesthetics theorist daNDI - KAvyAdaRsam (7th-8th century, C.E.). Sir Peter Ustinov's verbal genius recreates the anecdotes and redeems them from their non-verbal existence as lifeless events.
Thank you sir for that illumination, in these dark times , again ..
