jeremy irons looked perfect, but over acted a bit - too pantomime twoflower by Sean Astin was good David Jason was the best acting which made up for him not looking the part - just too old looking for me. What about other parts? Vimes? I saw a suggestion of Dennis Quaid once, and I can see it, grisly enough, right age. I don't imagine it would ever happen but...
I can see that. Although Paul Bettany is perhaps too distinctive looking. Gary Oldman might be good, because part of his ability to play any character is in his very non-descript face.
yeah, but maybe oldman is too much of an old man aaron eckhart, from thank you for smoking. hes ind of bland and charming
Jeremy Irons was brilliant in "The Coulour of Magic" and he's back in "Going postal". I am realy looking forward to finding out who is going to play Moist. The good thing with Irons is that he can keep a straght face easaly and I'm prity sure that Vimes or someone mensions about Vetinari being hard to read but I may be confused.
Moist Paul Bettany (maybe he's too big a star) Other suggestions were, James McAvoy (too famous), David Tennant (too annoying) Spike Shirley Henderson Michelle Gomez from Green Wing Stanley Mackenzie Crook Reacher Guilt Stephen Fry Vimes Phillip Glenister
LOL, I'm totally with you there... MacKenzie Crook may be a little old for Stanley but I think he would be good choice. R.
on the other hand - he's quite a big name at the moment and would bring in the crowds (of Dr Who nerds)
Yer but the thing is that I love him as the Doctor same with the person who plays Jack in Torchwood. I will always think of them as the Doctor and Jack from Doctor Who. Its hard to think of them in somthing else. I don't think David Tennent could pull Moist off well.
Were he still alive, I would gone for Jeremy Brett (the best Sherlock Holmes) but as it is, I think Alan Rickman would be perfect in the role of Vetinari. irate:
Vetinari/Vimes For me it's got to be Alan Rickman as Vetinari - he just suits it perfectly and is a damn good actor too! Saw a clip on YouTube of Jeremy Irons and absolutely hated it - how could he give him a speech impediment? That's just not Vetinari at all! Also saw a clip of Charles Dance - difficult to tell with such a short clip but one thing which was screaming out at me was the fact his hair was his usual ginger. Vetinari's hair should always be black. I love the suggestion of Philip Glenister as Vimes, I've never been able to decide on anyone who would suit that role until now but I reckon it could work.
I agree Alan Rickman would suit it well, or Richard E Grant would do a good job in the role too. Wasn't keen on Charles Dance :sad:
