| "[MacNicol] has an extraordinary emotional capacity I've seen in few actors. I've never seen him do something false. He may make the wrong choice in an acting thing, and he sometimes takes enormous risks, but it's always truthful. It always comes from his insides." ~Joseph Papp, director of Richard II |
| "[MacNicol has] compassion, warmth and great wit. His comedy is very human, and the fearlessness he uses in his comedy work helps to make him suited to Shakespeare." ~Kevin Kline, "Sophie's Choice" co-star |
