Great as Kublai Khan.


This guy was amazing as Kublai Khan in Marco Polo. He was in it more than the Marco Polo character.

Yeah totally agree, only into the 4th episode so far but what an awesome show!

I completely agree. He really makes the Great Khan a colourful character.

Yeh loving him in it :D

Great is putting it mildly I'd say, I sat through 3 episode's of marco polo thinking to myself wow he sounds a lot like prime from that 'the it crowd' episode, was only at the end of the third episode I realised it was the same actor, fair play to Benedict he went done and brought it for this role

The main reason i watch this show is for kublai khan. He is by far the best character on the show. He has a lot of cheesy lines but always pulls them off.

yeh man, Pa mongol is the *beep* business!

I just finished the Marco Polo series and he was great as the Khan! Hopefully there will be a 2nd season of the show!

No only do i think his portrayal is exceptional, i think his selection for the roll is excellent as well. If you look for some of the surviving art of Kublai Khan the resemblance is unmistakable.
