Way OT. Hollywood's best castings of historical figures.

Paul Schofield as Sir Thomas More.
Schofield won an Oscar for Best Actor in what has become my favorite movie of all time.
As an aside, this movie helped inspire me to become a lawyer.
(Clip is 52 seconds of Schofield's brilliance)

To turn this inside out, al pacino can totally kiss my ass. I'll never watch another thing from that old piece of shit after his pathetic turn as the Great Joe Paterno. **** him and the horse he rode in on. And the Godfather book was better than the movies.

Asshole.

Edit: God damn it Obliviax!

Heston as Moses and Scott as Patton were first two that popped into my mind. I also like Damian Lewis as Maj Dick Winters in Band of Brothers and Stephen Graham as Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire.



Oh, and I am also on the "F" Pacino bandwagon.

Ed Harris, as either Jackson Pollack, or (my preference) Gene Kranz.

(That, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known in the biz as "range.")
