Heroic Inspiration: an acting thread


Recommended Posts

So: the great heroes and villains of our time tend to have something - or someone - that their performers use as a handle or key to get into the role.


For Hannibal Lecter, Tony Hopkins used lizards and one of his beloved pet cats. (Note how rarely he blinks in the prison scenes.)

Chadwick drew on assorted Shakespearean kings and their actors for the gentle gravitas of T'Challa.

And then... well, there's this guy.

 

Any others that would be good to know about?

WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE.

Look out for me being generally cool, stylish and funny (delete as applicable) on Excelsior.
