I have seen some really great "Greebo as a man" contestants in Maskerades. He is a bit like Errol Flynn as a pirate! If you can remember Errol Flynn - well just think Johnny Depp then!

That question may be a little ignorant... :oops: but what is "Maskerade" besides the book? Part of a festival (which I assume, because you get to see men in costumes)? My bet would be Wadfest, but being from Germany... well, lets say there aren't many festivals like that on our schedule...

Edit: Oh my typing!

I think it's a Maskerade ball. There people go to balls in fancy masks.

A masquerade (spelling intended) is basically a ball where everyone wears masks, like the one in Witches Abroad.
The reference being made in the title of the book Maskerade is obvious to any Phantom Of The Opera fan. The song at the beginning of Act 2 in Phantom called "Masquerade". And the spelling was changed because of the significant role masks play in the story.

I think Jonhnny Depp (as he was in Pirates of the Carribean) would make a good Greebo...He should just act a little more "cold"...
Or maybe somebody like Hugh Jackman or or that English guy Owen something (can't remenber his surname with the black hair and the blue eyes)

Oh, yes. Johnny Depp could pull it off.

Depp was too thin in PoC to pull off Greebo. And definitley not feral enough.

Maybe if you threw Greebo at his face he might come nearer to looking the part. :badgrin:

Yup. And he goes and does it again in times of stress, speaking of Maskerade. Heh. Thought that bit was cool, myself.

My trouble with Johnny-Depp-as-Greebo, besides him being the wrong shape, is that human Greebo is supposed to 'ooze a greasy sexuality,' or something along those lines, and I have trouble picturing Depp doing that, although he's an excellent actor and could probably pull it off fairly well.

Johnny Depp might be able to play Greebo,but i think that the actor who played Depp's opponent(can't remember the name) would be more appropriate choice.

O.O Whaaaat? Pretty Orlando trying to pull off a big, scarred-up, one-eyed, leather-clad maniac? Not his normal style. If he did that decently, I would be...impressed. And surprised. Of course, in all this criticizing I fon't have any better ideas, so maybe I should shut up.

Did you mean Bloom, Sir_Vaims?

I think Vaims meant the guy who played Barbosa, darling Trisak. Er... Fire? What do you wish to be called on this board? But I agree, I think Greebo would be way outside pretty-boy's character. Not that I don't love Will and Legolas, but Bloom plays the pretty young hero. If he were to play anyone from the Disc the most appropriate would be Imp/Buddy from Soul Music. ...That's the third time in two posts the word 'pretty' has been used in conjunction with the same person.

Maybe if Barbosa lost a bunch of weight, got a bit more rugged, and lost the gentleman-like mannerisms he could do Greebo, but methinks he's a bit to old. And to... subtle. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head either.
