Hugo Weaving. What a guy.
My favorite quotes from him and his movies:
“Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.” - V from V for vendetta
"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure." - Agent Smith from Matrix
"I give hope to men." Lord Elrond from The Lord of the Rings
"You could have the power of the gods! Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations! I have seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!" Red Skull from Captain America
" Even in death, there is no command but MINE!" Megatron from Transformers
Bonus V for Vendetta quote: "People should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of their people."
“People are more likely to pass me on the street without recognizing me." -Hugo Weaving
That last one made me sad...He needs more recognition!
SethCronyn
As a fellow Aussie, I approve. I have tons of respect for Hugo.

Who's the creepy top hat guy under the alien robot?

How did you get them all right except for the penguin? i'm guessing you haven't seen Happy Feet?

And how he squeezed into that penguin outfit, we'll never know.

What's the scary top hat man? 2nd row all the way on the right

Absolutely stole the show in Hacksaw Ridge, great character, wonderfully portrayed
tobiassolem
He has this "mildly confused and annoyed"-face all the time. I think he needs a hug.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
wow, could you fish any harder for upvotes? Literally everyone on here fucking love Hugo.
rovertbiggs
So tired of all these "any love for" posts.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
If he had said, William Fichtner, it'd be different, because he's been in everything good but no one really talks about him.
rovertbiggs
Exactly! "Any love for" for be reserved for nobodies and nothing movies. Like my post on The Wrong Guy. No one has ever heard of it!

He would make a great Grand Admiral Thrawn if they ever had him in a film

Now you're making me want Star Wars movies based on the Zahn books again. You're absolutely right, too.
DatDarthCaedus
Seen a pic mockup of that, and I very much agree. He's got the manners and presence for it as well. Cumberbatch is generally a favorite 1/2
DatDarthCaedus
for the role, but I think Weaving is definitely the one who would pull it off the best.

I'd give you more upvotes if I could.

Lars Mikkelsen is doing a pretty good job on Rebels. More cold and calculating but with an element of dry humour.

Agreed. I'm looking forward to tonight's finale

FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
His Nurse Noakes was amazing. The yellowface character was terrible though. He can transform into many people, but not into an Asian person
AmazingBilldo
the future generations of ppl in cloud atlas were of mingled genetics, it seemed to me.
shimmernshine
To be fair those weren't current-day Asians, but 40 generations descended, and they'd suffered through some global disaster.
HerrBisch
It annoys me that people hate on Cloud Atlas for this; as Doona Bae isn't in the same movie as an equally unconvincing white person.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
She looked ridiculous too, imho. Thing is, children of my generation used to make fun of Asian people by stretching their eyes with their...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
fingers and saying "ching chang chong" or replacing replacing Rs with Ls. We visually recreated a literal slur (slanteye), and that's ...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
precisely what the makeup artists of Cloud Atlas did too. I don't think Doona Bae's whitefacing evoked similar connotations of past racism

It's a book that's about a lot of human themes and reincarnation in a way. Each actor plays 6 wildly different characters throughout 6 times
aRepost
“People are more likely to pass me on the street without recognising me." I suspect he prefers it that way. It's why he grows the beard.
ThatAustralianKid
Directing students at my uni got to have a workshop with him
aRepost
Also he was awesome in Proof with Russell Crowe.
IamIntoleranceIntolerant
I have passed him on the street (actually it was a shopping centre). I nodded and left him alone.
aboxacaraflatafan
Yeah. Shockingly(!), many celebrities are pretty on board with people leaving them alone when they're in public.
ElaineTheNPC
Could also be a testament to his being such a versatile actor.
blackdynamiiite
If I passed by him on the street I like to think that I'd invite him for scotch and cigars, buuuut I'd probably just lose my shit and babble
spudpicker
I might not recognize him, but the moment he spoke I'd perk up like a dog who just heard the bacon wrapper crinkle.

Left out "Proof". Great movie.

I agree. His body of work is varied as hell. His characters all seem to be so very different and distinct. You can't ever tell it's him1/2

2/2 but you know.
southerstar
Ohhh shit ive always like this dude since the matrix. I had no idea he was V.
djpj
I had no idea he was Megatron
AsAHistorian
I was sad to learn he was Megatron. In a terribly-written movie, that role was especially-badly-written. He deserved better.
djpj
Peter Cullen did the best though continuing his role as Optimus Prime. He was also great as the Vultron narrator.
muisverriet
Megatron was one of the better characters in the movies, and IMO he was one of the best Megatrons we've ever had.
RiZzoFont
He also played Douglas Jardine in an Australian series called Bodyline. It was about the controversial "Bodyline" bowling designed to thwart

Kinda random but you know those brothers are now the Wachowski sisters or however it's spelled

It's funny because that quote is so iconic, I just refer to him as Mr. Anderson now lol

If you haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge I suggest you do. I honestly think his acting was the best throughout the movie.

Yes. He actually replaced another actor in the role who bowed out for some reason I can't recall. I believe they had to dub over some of the

Further research tells me James Purefoy was originally supposed to play V but had trouble wearing the mask for long periods of time.
