Feckers Portrayed by multiple other feckers

[PalazioVecchio]

Either fictional or historical feckers. Compare & contrast.

1. Augustus Caesar.....HBO Rome has a young psychopath violent machiavellian monster......BBC i Claudius has Augustus played by Brian Blessed as a likable avuncular jolly type.

2. Churchill.......... Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour , Brendan Gleeson 'into the Storm', John Lithgow in The Crown. Surprising how well an american did the accent.

3. Jonathon Harker....Dracula.........various brits & Keanu Reeves with the funniest accent ever.

4. President Richard Nixon, Frost/Nixon with Frank Langella , and a brilliant portrayal by Hannibal Lector himself.

5. Batiatus....the slave owning Gladiator school. Peter Ustinov & John Hanna.

6. Macbeth...........Michael Fassbender was pretty good , 1971 John Finch for Roman Polanski and the disappointing american production with American Gangster himself Denzel Washington & Fargo officer Francis McDormand.

7. king Agamemnon.........Rufus Sewell & Brian Cox

what others feckers portrayed by multiple feckers ?

Batman...
Adam West, the best, maybe because he was the original. POW.
Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Michael Keaton... all terrible in their own way.

Zeus...

Lawrence Olivier & Liam Neeson..... and neither with a Greek accent

Jesus has had many portrayals. The Robert Powell version in the 70s was almost required viewing - bet that wouldn't happen now.

No one's going to portray Mohammed.

You forgot to mention Robert Downey Junior. And he is also one of the many feckers who portrayed South London's Charlie Chaplin.

I am surprised nobody mentioned Hitler. He seems to always get onto these fecker threads. And certainly a huge number of feckers have portrayed him....Robert Carlyle doing an eminent job. But the bloke in the Downfall movie got the body-language down to a Tee - and presumably the voice although my German is not good enough to discern.

Choice of voice is often interesting. 'The death of Stalin' gave the voisht a South London brogue..... A strange choice for a Georgian working in Moscow. Whereas Robert Duvall did a more neutral East European voice.

a Cult leader from Judea with a plummy English accent and dreamy blue eyes ? about as likely as a Virgin birth.

Willem Dafoe was probably also a bit too germanic looking - with a California accent. But the Mel Gibson 'the passion of the Christ' movie seemed more historically accurate - both in image and in sound.

To portray Romans with a posh John Geilgud type or in Latin ? The latter is gaining traction after Mel Gibson. Some good Latin spoken in the Barbarian tv series.....more authentic and better. Apart from all the sofa-thickies who don't like reading subtitles.

30 or 40 years ago, Captain Birdseye looked like the Grandad from Only Fools & Horses.

Today he seems to have got a Hugo Boss make-over.

Captain Birdseye swapped for hunky Italian by Birds Eye

BIRDS EYE have swapped out the old Captain for a new, younger Italian actor - but fans on Twitter aren’t sure of the change.

Be suspicious if she applies for a generous life insurance policy on you. Although... might be a way to go out in a blaze of glory?

Or a whimper of abject defeat.

Martin Fowler in Eastenders. His Mum used to send him upstairs to wash his hands before dinner and when he came downstairs he was ten years older and a different actor.
