Master Downey (Robert Downey Jr.) :D (47 movies items)

"36 as Lord Rivers I'm not a fan of Shakespearean style speaking. I was floored when I saw him and Annette Benning again. They were also in the the movie In Dreams together. I barely got 10 screen caps before he got killed though but made it easy to do a collage though."

100 Essential Male Film Performances (99 movies items)

"Ian McKellen It may just be Tudor propaganda, but thanks to Shakespeare Richard III has become the most notorious villain in English literature. It’s also a plum role and notable actors from David Garrick and Edmund Kean to Lawrence Oliver and Al Pacino have all had their go at it. McKellen adds to the list of memorable performances with a uniquely 20th century personification of evil. In a fictional 1930s England he is the leader of a fascist army temporarily successful in conquering England."
