Darius Danesh only took the role of Rhett Butler in 'Gone With The Wind' after receiving a "moving, touching" letter from producer Trevor Nunn.The singer - who shot to fame when he starred on 'Pop Idol' in 2001 - will play the role made famous by Clark Gable in the 1939 film in the new musical production from April 22, but had to be persuaded to take on the challenge.Darius said: "I thought they would get a big name to open the show, someone like Ewan McGregor in 'Guys and Dolls'. So I was taken aback when I got the call. Trevor wrote me this beautiful letter asking me to be Rhett. It was the most moving, articulate, touching letter that I have ever received.

It comes from my mother."(C) BANG Media International
