I chose Bill Nighy, but then out of the actors listed he and Christopher Lee are the only ones I know.

I like Pixel's suggestion - I think John Cleese would be great!

Who played the Grim Reaper in Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey? He was pretty good, I thought.

Yep, I vote for John Clesse, definitely !!

I couldn't decide out of the actors listed, I think they all have a certain something, but none of them are perfect for the part...

(and no, I did not spend 10 minutes wondering who the hell this CG guy was... :cooler: )

Christopher Lee would be a great choice. he could make a very good Death.

He's the one character for me where I just can't thonk of any actor to play the part.
And the voice is one of the cases where film would never be able to beat the book in any case.

The voice of Vader might be appropriate.

I only know the dubbed, German version... :-)

German voiced Star Wars?

"Luke, verwende die Kraft."

"Du hast mein vater ermordert!"
"Nein Luke, ICH bin dein vater!"

*laughs at mental image for no real reason*

Yes, almost correctly...

only almost? aww... where did I go wrong?

Think of me as a son of a bitch,but i hate all the dubbed versions! I would like to listen to the original voice of Yoda:'' Not if anything to say about it i have''
Subtitles for crying out loud!

I also prefer the original versions, although I only recently managed to see the original star wars version (no damn DVDs for YEARS, mister Lucas !) and the one voice that is actually better in French is Yoda's... it suddenly sounded so WEIRD in english, like some weird alien squeaky thing, whereas the french voice sounds like a venerable old monk which seems more fitting to me...

But all this has nothing to do with the topic, so I'll just go away

this doesnt really have much relation to the topic but i didnt know where else to put it but terry pratchett has wrote a very very short story about death and ive only just discoverd it and anyone interested in reading it can find it on the L-space website sooo hmmm

Looking at this again I've just realised that this is the second poll in which I've cast John Cleese. I either have great faith in him as an actor or a very limited knowledge/imagination when it comes to choosing actors.

William Sadler - Not bad...
When I saw Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, I couldn't help thinking of Discworld Death, and that the voice was not quite right. Why did Death have a teutonic accent?

I thought it was reminiscent of dark Transylvanian mysteries. Or maybe Death is German. Who knows?
