I already mentioned this in a similar thread, but Andy Serkis (Gollum) played Bill Sikes in the latest Masterpiece Theatre version of "Oliver Twist". This isn't the Disney one Elijah was in. It's much darker, and Serkis is very, very scary as Sikes. Psychotic.<P>Ian Holm was also in the Masterpiece Theatre version of "King Lear" as the man himself. He was Victor Frankenstein's father in Kenneth Branagh's version of that worn-out tale.<P>BTW, Tirned Tinnu, who did Ian Holm play in Henry V? I watched that movie a couple months ago...but I can't remember noticing him.<p>[ October 11, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
