Bridgiebird
He was awesome as Wallander
Dopplerfart
I liked him in Dunkirk
ELPimbo
Can't watch these new Poirot movies. Because David Suchet put the bar so high as Poirot. Why recreate the masterpiece.
AngryTeacher
His Benedick in Much Ado is great because he and Benedick have similar egos.
Maulbert
Yeah, he's been acting for over 40 years.
hobbitdude13
He should probably leave the set at some point huh
InfinityDragon
And now in the category of actors they could have cast as the next Doctor Who...
rdewalt
That's literally every British Actor/Actress...
InfinityDragon
Look, we got Cumberbatch to be a Doctor, just not THAT one. A surprise for sure but not an unwelcome one.
theinternetkeepsmealive
He was amazing as Hamlet
stinkinbadger
Guestmod
His Iago was absolutely breathtaking, stole the show from Laurence Fishburne's also excellent Othello
FeloniousMonk13
ahh yes its Gildehart Lockeroy
tiagogafe
Glad he could find a new career after the mind wipe.
VasyaTheCat
Read that as wind pipe and was worried something happened to him
Wollip
Also the Narrator for Walking with Dinosaurs/Beasts among other BBC stuff.
VikingWarriorPrincess
Also....
3smagic
He is also an accomplished director. Belfast was one of the most recent that he did.
eternalblueneon
actors gonna act.
Kronzor
And studio makeup and wardrobe gonna makeup and wardrobe.
decarnatedame
Yup. Credit where it is due.
konmari
they do is gonna.
UnconditionalSalmon
he was also the Commander in Dunkirk and the bad guy in Tenet
BORGALOOGIE
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio!
pareidoliaperson

pareidoliaperson
Why did I reply to you?? I was in a diff post
Guestmod
Well. You knew him well
BORGALOOGIE
I do not bite my thumb at you, Sir, but I do bite my thumb
marvster
He was in one of my favorite 80s/90s-ish popcorn movies "Dead Again"
3dartwork
I mean why stop there like he's only done two roles with costumes and facial hair changes?
elinveronicap
I hope his Poirot is great and people like it. I'll just stay over here with David Suchet though.
ELPimbo
Indeed. Hard to watch anyone else to do Poirot after Suchet.
sevenfingerman
I first saw him in Henry the V
Drzhivago138
NON NOBIS DOMINE, DOMINE
Botticelliii
Myself I saw him in Much Ado about nothing the first time.
CarlottaVonSprockett
Saint Crispin’s Day!
Imalwaysready
I first saw him in your mom! (Sorry. I'm sure your mother is quite lovely. It's just that the set-up was there and this is the internet...)
sevenfingerman
My mother was an English teacher, she is why we watched that movie every St. Crispins day.
PlaceHolderTitle
"We few we happy few, we Band of Brothers"
sevenfingerman
One of his most quotable plays.
Glimmar42
27 seconds into this clip you'll see a very young Christian Bale. :)
sevenfingerman
Yes, as the squire
Fuzzynubz
Well, yeah.
Asteriacites
Yeah, I love Branagh but a big fake moustache doesn't make you Gary Oldman.
Fuzzynubz
Lol. I kind of dig it
CulTheLid
No it doesn't but it does make him Hercule Poirot. The bottom pic is from his latest movie which so far reviews are about 2.5 stars.
rangermcfadden
Also directed the first Thor movie among many others.
PutItInNeutral
For a long time people thought Kenneth Branagh should be the one to play Thor.
hamberglar
Directly responsible for the casting of Tom Hiddleston in that movie as well (dragged him off the set of Wallander, which they both were in)
StreetSnack
It makes so much sense!! I knew Hiddleston from wallander and I was very intrigued on how he managed to make such a career jump..!
Shaodyn
How sure are you that he didn't just wipe the real director's memory and stick his own name on the credits?
PressMyButtonsBaby
Isaveimages
Directed the 94 Frankenstein with De Niro, the Sleuth remake and more cool stuff.
stouf761
Or oblviated the cast & crew
fiveclovers
TIL
winterpearl
"Murder on the nile" is also almost released! if you listen to the last lines on "Murder on the orient express" he gets (1/2)
foreverambridge
It's Death on the Nile.
winterpearl
A call that he is needed in Egypt... So a little teaser we would get a second movie :D
peoplearetheproblem
Also played the role of lover with Helena Bonham-Carter. In real life.
a2s2020
And Emma Thompson for a while. So he has great taste in women
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Yeah, slept with her while married to Emma Thompson.
k98aj01
Swing Kids, Much Ado About Nothing, and Dead Again are my favorite of his films.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I love his Much Ado About Nothing so much!!!
k98aj01
It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I sing Sigh No More all the time.
flanderspigeonmurderer
Yessss I must have nearly worn a hole in the Much Ado vhs growing up! I would eat his heart in the marketplace!
k98aj01
Ditto! It also started my crush on Robert Sean Leonard?
Slowlylosingit
I'll bite who is the second character?
a2s2020
Hercules Poirot, a detective from Agatha Christie mysteries
Guestmod
hercule poirot. murder onthe orient express, directed by ken also
pareidoliaperson
Oh wait DON'T ASK! He's in the new movie murder mystery. And if I know imgur...this is probably for shadowing a freaking spoiler...fucm
Callistan
Yeah.... It's not like the books these films are based on were published 85+ years ago or anything...
pareidoliaperson
yeah...it's not like I was born 85+ years ago. I just want to enjoy the movie bud.
a2s2020
No joke but the endings of the two stories Branagh is in are very famous. Clear your mind, forget everything and enjoy!
pareidoliaperson
Oh so this REALLY is a SPOILER? WTF?? Ruined
Callistan
Only if you consider “name and appearance of a character who has been a staple of literature, film, and TV since the 1930s” a spoiler
GenshiV
Speaking as someone who's faceblind & terrible at telling one actor from another... I'm serious about this next part: Fucking seriously!?
ibrokemyselflmao
I thought it was Antonio Banderas
GenshiV
No... no... it cannot be. He is too sexy! TOO SEXY!
GoliathSkittles
Same here. If there are two different blonde women with similar length hair in the same movie, that's it for me, they are the same woman.
GenshiV
Agreed. That's just science.
sirava
Same, but I annoy friends by recognizing actors by voice. Hey that guy playing a Klingon was the guy from... Friend: what? Shut up.
thedudeman519
My friends and I would play the M O V I E game. Where one person names an actor or movie. The next person has to name either a movie with
thedudeman519
said actor. Or another actor in said movie.
GenshiV
I do the same thing! Their voices stick more reliably for me than their faces & people think it's weird when I say that. Glad I'm not alone!
IupvoteAussies
Was watching Clue and upon hearing Tim Curry, my friend exclaimed, "The Mouse King! From Barbie Nutcracker!"
Maulbert
You just made me realize how much my trivial acting knowledge would be useful to a face-blind friend.
GenshiV
My wife & the googles are my best friends. "(s)he looks really familiar!" Then I look up the cast, then the person, then filmography.
MostlyWhelmed
IMDb is what I use.
GenshiV
Not a huge fan of their site, so I usually just use the googles.

isthisusernamealreadychosen
