Female Doubles: Post 5

Male Doubles: Post 4

I accumulated so many short posts adding one or two doubles that I decided to combine all the male ones into another big post. So here it is -- Male Doubles: Post 4! Note that all of these have been published previously...no new ones here. But soon, Male Doubles Post 5! That'll have new ones. :)

John Rhys-Davies

Gimli (Lord of the Rings, 2001, 2002, 2003)

Sallah (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc 1981, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989)

A Turk (?) (King Solomon's Mines, 1985)*

Voice for Cassim (Aladdin, 1995)*(correct picture?)

Ciaran Hinds

Captain Wentworth (Persuasion, 1995)

Sir Tarleton (Amazing Grace, 2006)

Bill Paterson

Mr. Gibson (Wives and Daughters, 1999)

Lord Dundas (Amazing Grace, 2006)

Andy Serkis

Voice for Gollum (and Gollum's actions were based on his own) (Lord of the Rings, 2001, 2002, 2003)

Captain Haddock (Tintin, 2011)*

Rigaud (Little Dorrit, 2008)

Alun Armstrong

Flintwich (Little Dorrit, 2008)

Bucket (Bleak House, 2005)

***Interesting, Alun Armstrong has also acted in two versions of Oliver Twist, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, AND The Mystery of Edwin Drood. I think we could say he's essential to Dickens!***

Movie: Wives and Daughters

My rating on a 1-10 scale: 9

Genre: Romance, life

Primary actors: Justine Waddell and others

Length: 5 hours

Based on: Wives and Daughters, an unfinished book by Elizabeth Gaskell

Time period: 1800’s

Year it came out: 1999

My overall opinion: I enjoyed it more than I have before…but it’s been a long time since I saw it. J While the movies about Jane Austen’s books are usually more of my favorites, this one is quite similar to those. Same time period, similar situation. Molly is a sweet, docile heroine, and Cynthia is certainly very interesting, shall we say. Roger…a nice, if occasionally blinded, hero. If you enjoy period drama films, this is one you’ll definitely want to see. J

Female Doubles: Post 3

My third and final female doubles post! This has been such a fun series of posts to do; I anticipated and relished putting each post together. :) There is a possiblity that I will do more in the future, if I find a bunch more doubles. You never know. :) So, without further ado, let's go!
