Talking of Batman movies...He's normally singing but...
Does anyone else remember the time when lead singer of James, Tim Booth appeared as a villain in the first of Chris Nolan's Batman trilogy?

The character he played Victor Zsasz is a crazed serial killer, who'd carve a line in his body for each victim like the below example...

Even if you imagine Tim acting I'm not sure many would imagine him in such a role.

In a similar vein, I once saw an old episode of Minder in which a similar gangster heavy character was played by Gorden Kaye (Rene in 'Allo 'Allo). It was difficult to take him seriously in the role, I kept expecting him to mention the fallen Madonna with the big boobies.Roy the cafe owner in Coronation Street was in Bergerac or similar.
He played a tough gangster thug and was not convincing at all. Not sure whether this was miscasting or subsequent typecasting because of his 'Roy' role.
It must be difficult for a Leicester fan to appear as a hard case. I always think of them with their noise making things and holding their mobiles' lights aloft singing along with a talent show winner.
Kevin Smith also provides the voice of one
trigger played an assassin in the professionals

I read about this last week. The director of the film had been to see Ric and Ade Edmondson in a comedy show the night before and liked them and told them about the film and asked them to show up in the morning and he'd get them in the film.Rik Mayall is in An American Werewolf in London, the pub scene playing chess with Brian Glover.
Anyway, just to say thank you for posting a picture of Timothy Dalton:)Dolph Lundgren played a KGB agent in A View To A Kill. He only got the part as he was dating Grace Jones at the time and she asked the producers to put him in the film.
Also Benicio Del Toro made his Hollywood debut in A License To Kill![]()
