Best Actor

(1/3) > >>

Axebreaker:
I was thinking what performance by an Actor/Actress in the movies did the best in portraying a historical figure in history.

For me it was close between Alec Guinness as Charles the I in Cromwell(very inaccurate movie,but great acting)and Rod Steiger as Napoleon in the masterpiece Waterloo.I had to go with Rod Steigar.He was so good that when I think of Napoleon it\'s him who comes to mind and I just can\'t see anyone other then him portraying him.Also,a special mention goes to Christopher Plummer as Wellington as I also do not believe he was surpassed in this role either by another actor.

Other contenders were-

George C. Scott-Patton
Richard Harris-Cromwell

So,What is yours? :)

Driscoles:
Bruno Ganz as Hitler in \"Der Untergang\"

Winston:
Helen Mirren - Elisabeth I (und Elisabeth II), she is allways great.
Nigel Hawthorne - George III in \"The Madness of King George\"

Angrist:
somebody once said,  there are only movies about King George the 3rd, because some Actors pushed the Studios to make it, so that they can play a role to get an Oscar



My favourites

Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee (Gettysburg) (I Could maybe start to write down 70% of the cast of gettysburg ;) )
Kenneth Brannagh as Henry V (Henry V)

Axebreaker:

--- Zitat ---Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee (Gettysburg) (I Could maybe start to write down 70% of the cast of gettysburg ;) )
--- Ende Zitat ---

Martin Sheen wasn\'t bad as Lee,but the best was Tom Berger as Longstreet in my view in regards to this film. ;)
