3 roles


Ciaran Hinds has played a vast array of characters but there are a few and I mean few he has not played. I thought it would be fun or cool too list 3 roles he has not played yet; 3 of your favorite roles or characters he has done; 3 of your least favorite characters/ roles or 3 characters or roles you do not want too see him do. Preferrably it is 3 roles (he has already done or not done yet) that you would like to see him do.

I would like to see him do a Western... a cowboy/gunslinger

play a vampire (iknow it is kind of cliche')

a lawyer or judge


Now it's yall's turn (yes I said y'all)

Just have fun :-)

Favourite characters : Julius Caesar (Rome), Abel Mason (The man Who Cried), Brian de Bois-Guilbert (Ivanhoe) but there are many others I'm fond of too.

Least favourite characters: Jonathan Reiss (Cradle of Life), Agent Fujima (Miami Vice), Henri Burke (Race To Witch Mountain) but it's mostly because I don't like these movies.

The characters I'd like to see him in: Sherlock Holmes, Captain Hornblower (in a good adaptation of the final CS Forester's books)...

The characters I do not want to see him: old things with too much hair and beard like Aberforth Dumbledore ;-)

I thought of other roles he has not played but are things I don't necessarily want to see him play:

1) A Klingon in Star Trek movies (actually I think he would make a good Klingon or Romulin. Ok I admit it I am a geek... there is not law against that...lol
2) A gay man
3) a woman.... Now before you all tell me he played Lady MacBeth when he was younger; I know that but it does not count. I mean a man in drag. Though if he did.... I might have to poke my eyes out.

I liked him in Escape to Witch mountain. I like his roles where he plays bad guys. There are some of the movies he has been in that I did not like the movie but liked his performance. I am looking forward to seeing him in Harry Potter I think he will make a good Wizard.

I don't know anything about Star Trek movies but I can tell you that Ciaran did play gay men and even women on stage (gay characters in Martin Sherman's Bent and Liam Lynch's Krieg http://www.ciaranhinds.eu/play.php?cle=misc05, and a woman in William Wycherly's The Country Wife http://www.ciaranhinds.eu/play.php?cle=glsgw02. I hope he won't kill me if I say that I think these parts suited him well :-)

reply

Why you got to hurt me like that?... well I am sticking with my Star Trek Klingon/Romulan answer lol

reply

I'm pleased to say, he's one very unattractive woman. :-))

Since "Krieg" was set in a mental hospital, maybe his character wasn't gay, but just in madness mistakes Malcolm Douglas' character for a woman! :-) ;-) But, seriously, do you know anything about Hinds' character in Krieg, sgriffon?

reply

Well! I must say that I'd find him attractive even as a woman ;-) (the actor's talent I suppose).

Alas, all that I know about Ciaran Hinds' character in "Krieg" is what I've stored in my database. Not much.

BTW, another part I'd like to see him: Ramses II, in Anne Rice's "The Mummy". This book was written as a screenplay for a Hollywood movie but the project was never completed and it became a novel (Vampire Lestat is another famous Rice character).

I'd love to see him play Robert McCall in the remake of "The Equalizer". The remake has been in the works for a long time and I don't know if it will ever get made. But he would be perfect for the role. Equalizer is one of my all time favorite shows.

That would be cool! RamsesII ....make him look all decomposed and stuff.

What about a Jeckle/Hyde role... I know he was in Mary Reiley a Dr.Jeckeyl/Mr.Hyde but maybe he could play Dr.J/Mr.H

There is this book (ok romance novel...senceless mind candy) "Once and Only" by Judith McNaught and I thought Ciaran Hinds would be good as the father (forgot name) of character Jason Feilding. He would play a duke. And another book I have read that would love movie made of is "Lions and Lace"... he would be perfect for it (when he was a little younger) as Trevor Sheridan... could here him speak with a brogue and speak gaelic.


I know a role he has not played; and if anyone in here says he has...I'll.. I'll...I'll probably do nothing...lol but might cry.

He has not played a pregnaut woman!!!


I think he would have made a cool Batman...better than Clooney.
