Actors who could play comic characters
Following on from a the DWM thread where Tony and I discussed who could play Aslom Daak, sighting "The Rock" as a possible choice, I thought I'd start a thread that handles this type of subject.
So which actors do you feel are possible candidates to play your favorite villians.
One suggestion I felt, and please dont laugh, is Stephen Fry to play Sinister from XMen. I just feel his profound way in speaking, and now his slimmer look, could really pull off the character well.

I know Stephen has lost a lot of weight, but Sinister is almost anorexic! I always think of Steve as more your classic Bond villain, a future Ernst Stavro Blofeld.Hourglass wrote:Following on from a the DWM thread where Tony and I discussed who could play Aslom Daak, sighting "The Rock" as a possible choice, I thought I'd start a thread that handles this type of subject.

Johnny Depp could play Sinister, though. He looks the part.

Stephen Fry as Blofeld? No wonder I never watch Bond films. Fry? Madness...sorry, I laughed.

Well, thinking about it, Stephen's apparent aversion to stroking pussies might disqualify him, I suppose...GBF wrote:Stephen Fry as Blofeld? No wonder I never watch Bond films. Fry? Madness...sorry, I laughed.

JUST FOR FUN!! If the `impossibility` of an "I. Spy" film could have been proposed in the early 70s then I would think musician Acker Bilk would have made a great Mr X and Jack Nicholson for Mastermind! Spike Milligan a formidible Mahairee Yogi and Richard Wattiss as Boss Spy!
Irene Handle as Granny Spy with actor Colin Farrell as Cammy Flage! For Mr Tempest -the actor who played Dr Zarroff in DR Who's "The Underwater Menace" (Can't recall his name! drat!) He was also in very first Callan ep "A Magnum for Schneider" He's be a great Mr Tempest!

Joseph Furst was the guy who played Zaroff, surely the villain responsible for Doctor Who's best ever cliffhanger ('Nuzzink in ze vorld can shtop me noooow!!!')
But...Acker Bilk? Really?

Looking at a picture of him, Acker reminds me more of Pa Angel...alanultron5 wrote:Thats him! Joseph Furst! Such underplaying in Dr Who Acker Bilk! Aye lad!! He and Mr X surely seperated at Birth!

We'd best hope that Rab don't read any of this! The thought of Acker Bilk playing Mr X in a movie, I reckon would have him in tears!
