	A Conversation with Chiwetel Ejiofor
		Chiwetel Ejiofer, the celebrated young British actor standing front and center of Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things, stunning urban story of illegal aliens involved in some dangerous business on the streets of an unforgiving London, greets me with an energy and youthfulness all but erased from his magnetic movie performance.
		He strikes me as about ten years younger and much more hip that Okwe, the Nigerian doctor living “underground” as a life-hardened immigrant about to be changed by seedy exploitation, murder and love.
		LS: Chiwetel, thanks for spending the time today to chat about Dirty Pretty Things, and much good luck with the film.
