No way I get this one without googling. ;)/>

That's a shame. It's got a LOT of famous actors in it.

It's the entire play, adapted to a more modern setting (but not the present),

so there are a lot of roles, so it needs a lot of actors.

In fact, the only one I thought was miscast was Branagh giving himself

the title role.

Particularly famous are the head actor of the traveling performers,

the gravedigger, and the courtier Osric. And the ghost of Old Hamlet,

and Hecuba (depicted when the head actor does a recital of her story.)

And Ophelia. And Priam (in the recital)....

Ok, some time, I recommend seeing it. I know this is not a big group on watching Shakespearean plays.

However, Hamlet- the good versions- is worth seeing. Mel Gibson's version is worth seeing and

is an abridged version. Kenneth Branagh did the uncut version-all of it.

I have pluses and minuses for both versions, since I really like the play and feel both were

faithful to the original in some ways and less so in others.

(So far, I'm waiting for a truly accurate version of Laertes' duel in any format, anywhere-

live, DVD, whatever.)

With 2 exceptions- one travelling actor and Kenneth Branagh casting himself as Hamlet-

I thought the casting for Branagh's version was excellent.

It also featured a LOT of recognizable names.

Here, you'll recognize some names.

Your right WordWolf, that's quite a cast.

May I be allowed to borrow one of them to play this game?

I posted the link to move this along.

Please proceed as normal, with a cast member from that version of "Hamlet",

excepting, of course, Branagh since I linked IN to the movie with him.
