- Max von Sydow in Det sjunde inseglet (aka The Seventh Seal) and pretty much every other Ingmar Bergman film he appeared in.
- Gabriele Ferzetti in L’avventura
- Timothy Dalton in The Lion in Winter (for the best screen debut)
- Christopher Lee in The Wicker Man
- Klaus Maria Brandauer in Mephisto
- Sophie Marceau and Tchécky Karyo in L’amour braque (aka Mad Love)
- Sean Bean in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (the most complicated character of the trilogy, make no mistake about it)
Yep three very obvious ones I should've got.
Who ??????????? Never heard of him........ :)
His, "Well you've got ME, James!" delivery was miles above half the actors who just won Golden Globes this year.
Really is a tough question to answer. There have been many great actors in the Bonds, Christopher lee being my all time favorite.
You can easily name Max von Sydow, Albert Finney, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Christopher Walken, Lotte Lenya, Judi Dench, Sean, Tim, Robert Shaw, etc as the greatest.
Diana Rigg's Medea, the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed in the theatre.
Isn't Another very obvious one for you is Your Hero, Rory Kinnear in everything he does.
You adore his performances in bond films. :)
Don't get to excited from the image i've posted.
Are you going to print it, frame it and add it to your Rory Room ? :)
"Hey, are you listening?"
"No. Bored out of my skull."
I recently re-watched 24 Season 2, completely missed first time round in 2003 that John Terry was in it!
But his performance in A View to a Kill is quite possibly his worst turn ever. Yeah it's a ridiculous interpretation, but I also get the impression he didn't care for the material and so it somehow comes across as simultaneously phoned in. At Close Range came out the year after AVTAK and it's a masterful performance.
Not in my book. Von Sydow excelled in several films of what is quite possibly the greatest film director that ever walked the Earth.
Nice! I remember really liking the cult classic: HAWK THE SLAYER as a kid. Mostly for Jack Palance, but John Terry was great as the hero. He was also on PHILIP MARLOWE: PRIVATE EYE with Powers Boothe.
I always thought he might have made a decent Felix if he had something to work with (and a cooler haircut). To be fair, Felix in TLD is a pretty tiny role.
True.
Gary Oldman makes any film better!
4 down and only 2 left to go.
The irony being Dalton is technically probably a better actor than all of them.
Although I can't quite say the same for Laz despite his tour de force performance in Emmanuelle.
I mentioned Dalton!
No surprise there. I think he’s the best actor who ever played Bond so far.
Maybe not in the same echelon as Dench and Fenney and von Sydow... but right up there with Shaw and Walken and Lee.
Hell, I rate Davi above Bardem and Waltz any day.
I most certainly rate Davi above Bardem and Waltz as well. No question.
it was such a weak performance in Spectre. I was expecting much more from
him.
You must be drunk for sure.
I think he's certainly the most underrated. Perhaps his performance gets lost in people's views of LTK as a Miami Vice film and Sanchez is merely a drug dealer and not some megalomaniac out to destroy the world.
It's not a showy performance, but one that has power to it due to the actor. He's frightening without having a scar or some other physical distinction to make him more noticeable.
