Though if you count everyone who has played God, Morgan Freeman and Charlton Heston are also decent players…Ralph Fiennes.
Has played Voldemort… AND JESUS.
BAM!
Okay, here’s a more fun post. I have been thinking about a game, and I am going to call this game… “Actor’s Arsenal.” How you play is like this:
1. Choose an actor
2. This actor has the combined powers and abilities of all roles he or she has ever played.
3. Make a post (or whatever) saying why your choice is awesome and how, in a fight, it would beat a previous entry.
I will go first and hope that ye Tumblr friends will rise to the challenge. Except that it will be hard, because I chose the best choice:
SIR IAN MCKELLAN.
So, to start us off, he’s got Iorek Byrnison from the Golden Compass (yes, voice acting counts). THIS IS A POLAR BEAR THAT WEARS IMPENETRABLE ARMOR. Enough said. Secondly, he is Magneto, who not only controls metal, but is a charismatic leader (despite his use of this skill for evil (well, maybe “evil” isn’t quite the right word, I’m sure Magneto would have a thing or two to say about that, but you know)). And as if there was anybody who could beat a Magneto panserbjørne, he’s the Goddamn Gandalf, too. In fact, I specifically chose Gandalf the Grey as opposed to Gandalf the White, because if I had chosen to invent Magneto the White Panserbjørne, this game would already be over.
PLUS, Ian McKellan is probably the best-looking man on the planet. He is damn handsome and fashionable. Not applicable to the battle, but awesome nonetheless.
In a perfect world, I would submit this entry along with a drawing of all these roles combined. I mean, can you imagine???
