Tron Legacy, Castor aka Zuse
StubbDubya
Never knew.
Energytwo
Yep he fought hard to get that role, he was geeking out bigtime to get into a Tron movie
SeasonCat
He killed it in both roles.

Fuck will smith
ImSilverTongue
He was also good in Unthinkable
Hukkie
One of my favorite movies of all time, his acting is on a completely different level in that one. Even compared to his usual extremely high standard.

Watch Prodigal Son if you want to see not only him but the wonderful Bellamy Young (Mellie on Scandal).
RichieMuenster
Fuck yeeeees! Such a great showat

Not sure how criminal minds got so many seasons with much less interesting people. Though i did like reid and Penelope (obviously Gideon, but Patinkin left because of the subject matter.) Haven't actually sat down to binge CM, it was one of those things people had on

Lucian was a sexual awakening
MalicetheMacabre
It took me a while to realize who Lucian was myself. Dude is a fucking chameleon, not unlike Gary Oldman

Two kinds of actor: Self and Roles
Roles are actors where you see them and you’re like “wait, what else have they been in? Oh, 30% of everything I’ve ever seen.”
Self are actors where you see them and you say “oh shit, it’s Tom Hanks!”
cantbelievethisisstillavailable
I literally watched Underworld yesterday and realized who the actor was about halfway through and thought "The same one who was in Good Omens?"
Mesange
He and Kate Beckinsale had a daughter together.
Tokoloshe
They still have her. :P
StormBurnX
He played, essentially, the devil in Tron Legacy and the angel in Good Omens and it's so, SO amazing to see such a gamut of performance from him.
mrpotatodick
rather liked the Lucian character, he really did that well.
davebarton315101
And he was unquestionably the good guy.
Harbltron
The guy leading a slave revolt over the death of his lover usually is
heylookatmeimmrmeeseeks
Agreed
RXJ235231
It took me way too long to realize that the actor who Lucian in the first movie was the same in Rise of the Lycans
davebarton315101
Makes for a nice continuity doesn’t it?
OmnibusLatinName
And Rhona Mitra could be Kate's twin.
hyptosis
Yeah dude can legit act

the man is a veritable chameleon, I don't blame you.

Speaking of this there is a new underworld called Rise of the Queen coming out.
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
Citation needed! Google shows only novel by the name, and a potential Underworld tv/streaming series in the works with no as of yet backing.
Letthebodies
Wait until you find out ALL the things he's in!
januarylover
Also played Wesley Snipes in 30 Rock
shameofslate
“If you were shown a picture of him and a picture of me and asked ‘Which one should be named Wesley Snipes?,’ you’d pick the pale Englishman every time. Every time, Liz!”
leroy666
Mada career playing Tony Blaire.
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
Underworld is so underrated. 2 was okay. Three was pretty good.
RatsLiveOnNoEvilStar
Well that's what you get when you steal from a well established TTRPG.
SnakuPlisskin
Rise of the Lycans? I'll have to give it another watch - I don't really remember liking it but it was so long ago.
CrackWhoresAndCheese
He was good in the Prodigal Son.
DasBeaker
MY BOY!!!
EvilEmperorXurg
He was GREAT! Stole the scene every fucking time. Magnetic.
RatsLiveOnNoEvilStar
That show deserved an actual ending. Shame.

Wait was Michael Sheen in Underwold AND Twilight?
Alistairetheblu
Mostly toward the end of Twilight. He was one of the 3 "vampire council" people coming to judge them.
charondaboatman
Yep
Imtheguywhogetsawaywithit
Michael Sheen is a treasure. Chews the scenery better than anyone in the game.
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Brenda Blethyn.
tidepool
Kate Beckinsale tells otherwise.
aShogunNamedMarcus
Found Pete Davidson's alt account
torisenblack
Amazing talent not just for scripted work, he can improv on the spot incredibly well too: https://youtu.be/1fpV0OFC0vc?si=xCC-NYg25jWZEXeE
Lynkfox
Gary Oldman, Tim Curry, Michael Caine might all disagree with that statement but yes Sheen is a hell of an amazing actor
Surfbreaker83
I do believe their lot would accept that he is an equal thank you very much. All three have already graciously welcomed him into the fold, My Cocaine especially so.
Lynkfox
Yeah you're very much correct, I couldn't think of a better way to say that they also are amazing actors lol
leroy666
David Tennant chews a pretty good stage set. Kilgrave was dynamite (Jessica Jones)
Vathz
Kilgrave is one of the few comic book villains that creep the fuck out of me on screen. He did a great job.
MrNobodyWTB
Bubbells
Why does he look so much skinnier as Lucian? Even his head look narrower
charondaboatman
Body fat and time.
Lun4ticH1gh
Youth.
mikeatike
Yeah it was like 20 years ago. He still looks great tho.
ghim
Dude dated and had a kid with Kate Beckinsale. Is now spending the rest of his life with David Tennent. He did something right...
tidepool
He profoundly abused her, though, so he’s not great at doing the right thing.
ghim
Well shit. I had no idea, I retract my previous statement after reading her posts. Fuck him
wadatahmydamie
I can’t seem to find anything about it
KalliJ
What? Where are you getting that? Her Wikipedia page says: Beckinsale and Sheen remain close friends. She remarked in 2016, "He's really dear, close family. He's somebody I've known since I was 21 years old. I really love him a lot." cc @ghim (to which posts are you referring? Thanks!)
thedeadmarchhare
They even wore costumes together like a two person horse one out in public.

TheBigBadBonerBiter
Honestly, super enjoyable performance from him in the Twilight movies. Dude was hamming it up every scene he was in.
locksmith9
"hahaAAAAH!"
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
what is this still from?
thedudeman519
One of the Underwold flicks, I believe.
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
I've watched all of the Underworld movies, this is not a scene from them.
thedudeman519
Ahh ,well then perhaps Twilight

One of the Twilight movies (no idea which one). He's played a werewolf, an angel, and a vampire.
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
So a Werewolf in Underworld I know for sure. Vampire in Twilight? And and an Angle in what?
somelamename
Good Omens
charondaboatman
from the 2009 horror romance film The Twilight Saga: New Moon. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/judgmental-volturi
holyicon
Ah yes, Lord Vecna, David Frost, and Todd the Wraith.
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
You say Lord Vecna, I assumed stranger things (not watched but a DnD fan). IMDB says otherwise. Would you mind elaborating on that role?
holyicon
Jamie Campbell Bower : He played both Lord Vecna in Stranger Things and Caius in The Twilight Saga (Films the Meme is from).
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2570429/
Vecna is the Big-Bad obviously, and he's under heavy makeup most of the time.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
TIL. Now I'm imagining Vecna yelling ARTIFICE in kind of a whiny voice.
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
I see the confusion. I believe the original intent of the meme is Michael Sheen, who played in Underworld, however not Stranger Things.
sacrosanctt
(he's taking about the guy on the left in that image)
But yes, the intent was Sheen
holyicon
From Left to right. Bower played Vecna, Sheen played Frost, and Heyerdahl played Todd.
