If that's the Magorium who had the Emporium, the actor's DUSTIN HOFFMAN.

No.   Now that you mentioned him, I should ask Mrs Wolf what she thinks of BR and this actor. I suspect she prefers BR and I prefer the other.

Peter Cushing?

Peter Cushing? 

No, but if you give me a few more minutes, I'll see if I can get a few more roles up.  Or, you can take another shot, probably.  :)

Would you believe this actor also won a Grammy or something for some Heavy Metal he did?   I SWEAR I'm not making this up.

not sure about the grammy, but so sure about peter cushing that if I'm wrong it must be

I figured you'd hit him with the next guess.     The actual award was "Spirit of Metal" from Metal Hammer.  (HM has their own awards?)   There's a music video for "the Bloody Verdict of Verden", where he sings and also plays Charlemagne.   I discovered it some years ago when the Daily Show played a small clip.

Yeah, he played Dracula MANY times, so that was probably a giveaway once you were on the right track. 

[Raf]

This character was played by:

Gerard Depardieu

Robert Donat

Jim Caviezel

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Jesus?

George

[Raf]

nope

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Luke the Apostle?

George

[WordWolf]

No, I'm thinking somebody French.      Somebody from a French book's adaptation into movie or something.   That leaves a few possibilities, even if I'm right.

 

"D'artagnan"????

 

 

[Raf]

so close.

same forest. different tree

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I remember seeing Depardieu in one version of T3M.

Porthos?

George

[Raf]

That would be the same tree but a different branch.

Same forest, different tree.

[Raf]

You likely have not seen Gerard Depardieu in this role. I chose him because it's legit: he DID play this character, and because I needed you guys to get to exactly where WW went.

But you picked the wrong story.

Now look at the other actors, one of whom you never heard of, and the other who starred in the title role of...

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The Count of Monte Cristo?

George

[Raf]

Bravissimi.

Edmond Dantes.

 

Like the Three Musketeers, also based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas
