Actors who could be cast as Sith

Post by **Vympel** » 2006-09-05 07:40am

And by Sith I don't mean any film or EU Sith, just a Sith in general- warrior Sith like Darth Maul or Darth Vader, more wizard-Sith like Darth Sidious or Darth Tyranus, etc. Suggestions?

Christopher Walken.

Obviously he'd be closer to the Tyrannus side of Sith, but I'm fairly confident he'd be awesome and creepy.

Steve Buscemi, the guy reeks of creepyness.

William Dafoe. He just has a weird, weird face. Probably as a crazy-as-a-fish warrior Sith.

I kno the OP does not refer to specific characters but Christian Bale would be perfect as Darth Revan. As his performence in Equilibrium and Batman Begins showed he would be terrific in that role.

Oh and I second William Dafoe. He would make a awesome insidious Sith lord. Not the warrior type like Maul but the more manipulative intelligent Sith like Palapatine.

Well I think that Vincient price would make a good Sith. Too bad he's dead.

You mean as a silent androgynous person in a fully enclosed suit?

Bill Nighy, his voice and intonation fit the bill perfectly and has shown that he can appear quite menacing and still maintain an air of respectabily.

He gives such fantastic evil vibes.

Frank Langella

His Dracula practically was a Sith Lord.

Alan Rickman -- and not just because he was in HP. Grigori Rasputin, anyone?

Paul Bettany -- it's a bit of a stretch, but I think he could do it.

Ahem.

Chris Walken, Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe, Crispin Glover, Alan Rickman. Dreamteam, baby!

Daniel Day-Lewis.

I think David Warner would make a good older-guy sorcerer badass. Or maybe Thomas Ian Griffith.

I second Christopher Walken.

Michael Wincott

Gary Oldman. He knows how to look evil and creepy in several different ways.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2006-09-05 09:06pm

And lest we forget The Fifth Element.

Michael Wincott has such a great villain presence. His character in "The Three Musketeers" was badass, despite being written into such a tounge-in-cheek movie.

And he totally has the voice of a Sith

Damnit my first two picks were ninja'd in two of the three first responses! >_<

I'll third Chris Walken and second Willem Dafoe...also, I think Ian McKellen could make a pretty good Sith. He's good at that kinda quiet menace...

Tim Curry

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2006-09-05 11:19pm

Tim Curry seems too goofy to be a Sith-caliber villian.

Majin Gojira · Post by **Majin Gojira** » 2006-09-05 11:24pm

Nah. Tim Curry would make a great Sith--an INSANE Sith.

Crazy villains are fun.

Clive Owen. The evil nobody expects to be evil.
