Quote:Really!! Imagine a Roman with an Irish accent!
Ciaran Hinds as J.C. in 'Rome'.
Quote:If I remember correctly in Spartacus the part of Gaius Julius Caesar was played by the American actor John Gavin (who also played a German soldier in A Time To Love And A Time To Die -- remember that one folks?)
Indeed I do, a story by the author of 'All Quiet on the Western Front'.
An Irish German Liam Neeson who everyone thought wonderful in Schindler's List but laughable as a Scot in 'Rob Roy'! Never figured that one out or why that film was overshadowed by 'Braveheart'.
Quote:Also you're forgetting "The Patriot" which makes the Brits looks absolutely thuggish.No. it was just from the same children's colouring book as 'Braveheart'.
I quite liked the idea of Patrick Stewart playing J.C with Antonio Banderas as Antony and Leonardo Di Caprio as Octavian! Ralph Fiennes as Brutus, Tim Roth as Casca and Gary Oldman as Cassius, Brits as Baddies again! but a mixture of Brits and Americans as the Good Guys, sorry I am a Caesarian!
