I once had to change into a rhinoceros. Michael Palin’s leftist peasant at loggerheads with Arthur in Holy Grail, and other Python sketches would be fun. I would need to give this more thought.

The male lead in One Deadly Summer, opposite Isabelle Adjani. Purely to test my acting skills, of course



in 1983, i was young too

or alternatively the male lead in Belle Epoque

Either the Dennis Price role or the Guinness ones in Kind Hearts and Coronets

Roger O Thornhill in North by Northwest.

Belmondo in Pierrot Le Fou!

Michel Albertini as André in L’Amour Braque. I can’t find a good non-NSFW image where you can see his face. Still… crazy bastard… would have been amazing to be in this movie with this role. Running around and screaming.

Or:

Another five, because I had to…

I’m a troubled, highly disturbed individual…

A couple of scenes in the film make me think of Hokusai

Ah, the name reminds me of one of my favourite books Manon Lescaut- the Chevalier des Grieux is a part i would have liked to play, not sure if there’s been a decent film of it though
