Ep III casting

Post by Vympel »

Bruce Spence has been cast in Episode III. Non-Aussies get a cookie if they know who he is.

Ah the hell with it:
An actor in Australia since 1969, Spence has appeared in numerous works on stage and screen, making his film debut in the 1971 comedy Stork. Genre audiences will recognize Spence from Dark City, The Road Warrior [Vympel: NO, it's MAD MAX, not Road Warrior, goddamit] and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the latter of which garnered him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor by the Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy and Horror Films.

Spence also appeared as Prefect Falaak in "Farscape," and can be seen as the Trainman in The Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions. Most recently, Spence's voice can be heard as Chum, the Aussie shark in Finding Nemo. Later this year, Spence can be seen as Cookson in Peter Pan, and as the Mouth of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Also cast is Bai Ling, speculation on TF.net being she might be the female Sith in the Clone War cartoons. But that's a long shot (der!).

I get a cookie! Yummy!

Its reall interesting that he's also the Mouth of Sauron. It will be rather funny to see whether there is any tie between his character in EpIII and Darth Tyrannus. :)

The Gyro Captain himself? Shame to anyone who doesn't!

Wow, good job on that casting. She's cute. :wink:
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
