This post comes to you because I was under the impression actor Terry-Thomas had played Hook in the 50s and I wanted to compare his picture with Dustin Hoffman's portrayal. Alas, I was misled by something on the internet (yes, I
know) and evidently there is no such animal. However, I did find a surprising list of some actors who
have played Hook.
Let us begin here.
 |
| Robb Harwood, 1906 |
 |
| Ian McKellan, 1997 |
Did you enjoy the sublime? Good, because it's pretty much ridiculous in one form or another from here on out.
 |
| Russell Brand with photographer Annie Leibovitz, Disney Parks Campaign |
In a way he's perfect. In all the others, he is so, so wrong.
 |
| Hans Conreid, voice of Captain Hook in the 1953 Disney movie. |
In the ridiculous category because I find this costume particularly suitable for voice acting.
 |
| Larry Lamb from Eastenders, 2012 |
Eastenders, then. And who the heck is Dame Abel Mabel? That's not from any production I've ever seen.
But now, my piece de resistance.
 |
| David Hasselhoff, 2012 |
He's pulling off the look better here, but
David. Hasselhoff. I am--I don't know what I am. Bewildered will do. I am bewildered.
The Larry Lamb picture doesn't work with that link. Try this one.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet yours leads to a page that doesn't exist!
ReplyDeleteDamn imps.
What are you seeing--is the picture there but the link doesn't work, or is the picture not appearing at all?
I was seeing nothing, and clicking on it led to a page that said that the link doesn't exist. Clearing out the question mark and the number following it gave me the picture in question. Now I see a different link, and the picture shows up fine.
DeleteOddly, when I click the link I gave, the picture shows up fine for me.
Very odd stuff.
Yes, I substituted a new one so there would be a picture there. Sorry. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI thought of trying again on the original, but no. I will do nothing of the sort. If this one works on both our ends, I'm leaving it. I think it's called "learning."
