Peter Cushing was regarded as a bit more of a B movie actor; he was certainly very well known, but Hammer Films were not given the same credence as the type of work Sir Alec Guinness had done that had led to BAFTAs and Oscars. Don't get me wrong -- I love Peter Cushing and I think the snobbery toward genre storytelling is misplaced, but I think the point is that even though Peter Cushing would have been known, Sir Alec would have been the only one to have been truly respected (whether that's valid or not).

He also knew he had one movie left in him before he became too weak due to his disease. He chose Street Fighter, not because of the money, but because his sons were big Street Fighter fans. One of them reportedly loved playing M. Bison more than any other character. So Julia took the role of Bison for them. His brilliant portrayal of the villain was his gift to his boys.

Max von Sydow will always be the evil brewmaster in "Strange Brew" to me

Raul took that role for the joy of his kids, definitely not for the money.

Being Swedish, it never occured to me you could pronounce von Sydow's name like that.

A few of the actors in the later Twilights actually liked the books and wanted to be in the movies

Hey, Bruce Willis was doing all those recent paycheck movies because dementia started to kick in, and he wanted to wring every last dollar out of his career while he was still able to talk. Maybe don't mock that? He had more than proven himself in the decades prior

Max von Sydow in Red Sonja is my favorite role for him...

Raul Julia should be No.1. His Bison monologue about his vision is one of film's greatest moments ever
@melissawickersham9912 Ай бұрын
He shouldn’t be on this list because, as others have said, he did the role for his kids.

4:38 What is an "against type casting" and how did it prevent people from figuring out she was the movie's villain?
@joels5150 Ай бұрын
Type casting is when an actor plays a certain type of character in a long string of performances. For example, being type cast as a brooding malcontent or a sweet motherly figure. If someone gets a reputation for always playing a kind hearted matron, and then they get a role as a sadistic serial killer, but it’s not known to the audience prior to seeing the film, that would work as ‘against type casting’.
