I can't decide between Bill Nighy and Christopher Lee.

The figure would be CG, but the voice would be Chistopher Lee, Nighy is great, but too suave for a role like Death.

I totally agree

I like your suggestion of Patrick Stewart. I think he would fit well.

Other suggestions might include James Earl Jones (Blasphemy for not suggesting him in the first place!)

I'm going to vote for Nighy, since Lee has 3 votes. But I still can't decide between them.

I'm voting for Nighy, because I think Lee sounds too evil...Death on the disc is notable because he's NOT frightening in himself (unless you're Rincewind)

But I'm not sure. I think either would be great

Has anyone played Discworld Noir? Because I think the guy who did the voice of Death on that was pretty much how I would imagine him. So I'd go for him.

But other than that, I'm going to go with the obvious, Christopher Lee. I think if anything he's a bit TOO commanding - Death does occasionally get flummoxed by things. :roll:

I say: CG with a voice by james earl jones.

I've always heard Death as a kind of gloomy character. Over the years the voice I hear gets more and more like the guy who voiced Marvin the paranoid android in the TV version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (NOT the movie travesty).

A quick scan of the imdb gives me the name of Stephen Moore as Marvin's voice.

So my vote is CG plus Stephen Moore

I think Alan Rickman could pull it off... But that's just me

alan rickman is clearly the patrican.Fool.

:o

Brian Blessed?? You've got to be taking the piss. I've not laughed that hard in a while man.

And I thought Alan Rickman did do Marvins voice in Hichikers. Humm.

Rinso, is there any reason he couldn't do both?

Edit: Om, he did the voice in the recent movie, but not the old television series.

It will always be Christopher Lee for me although having Patrcik Stewart in the list did make me think more. He would make a very good guild leader, assasins maybe.

I think definitely CG and given this scenario Stewart definitely has the vocal range. Still James Earl Jones would be front runner for me. The whole point is that death has a deep and funereal voice and Jones wouldn't even have to try.

Rickman is definitely Patrician material.
