Okay, how about Brando as Mr. Bean? :smile: Now there's one that never occurred to me before!
That would be challenging. Actually, I can't see anyone to Mr. Bean, but Atkinson. :biggrin:



For drama - Henry Fonda and Kathryn Hepburne in "On Golden Pond" - very touching movie.

How about Burt Lancaster as Paul Labiche in "The Train" (1964) or as Robert Stroud in "Birdman of Alcatraz" (1962)?

Alec Guinness did play Obi Wan Kenobe in the first Star Wars movie. He played a British colonel in "Bridge on the River Kwai" (1957), and William Holden played an American officer. Excellent movie.

James Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" (1954).
