Actor/actress, living/dead, you would like to see perform with Michael


For those of you who know me it will be no surprise that I say Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn for the dead. I'd like to see Michael in a film now with his friend Gary Oldman where they can be funny together. In a romantic movie, I'd like to see how he could play with his favorite Isabelle Huppert.

Great question! I'm going to need mull this one over for a bit as the list of actors on the same quality level as Mr. Wincott is rather short in my book!

Okay, I'm done mulling it over now (not to mention I am stuffed to the proverbial gills with some yummy Mediterranean focaccia bread and olive oil.) So, one, I am going to agree with you that another Oldman/Wincott pairing would be quite delightful. I would totally love to see something along the lines of a comical or absurd "buddy-buddy" film with those two in it on some random adventure. My first Oldman film was the on-screen adaption of Stoppard's "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead" and the juxtaposition of him and Roth was rather hilarious.

As for other actors, I'd put Pacino, Nicholson, Hopkins, Spacey, Byrne Washington and Hopper on my list as you have to have a substantial presence on the other side or our Mr. Wincott will totally over-shadow them. Even another pairing with Rickman would be fun to watch as they did rather steal the show in Robin Hood.

I've also been mulling over a female actor for him to pair against but I haven't found someone I like enough. I think she needs to have a strong personality to handle the likes of him. I could see someone like Angelina Jolie but she rather gets on my last nerve. I apologize to any Jolie fans out there but it's the truth.

And, I know I will probably be burnt at the stake for saying this if Mr. Wincott ever found out, but I would be totally riveted to my telly if he ever took on the role as a serial killer like Lithgow recently did on the show Dexter. I know television is beneath him but there are some pretty decent shows on cable these days in my opinion. (Uh, is it getting hot in here??)

Stellan Skarsgard is awesome! I wish I had thought of him.

Great selections, although I must admit to not knowing some of them or their previous work. I believe some of those females are a bit young, but Michael may enjoy that.

How about a buddy cop film with Michael and Gary as partners against a demented Stellan Skarsgard. Who runs a slave prostitution ring filled with some of those women you mentioned. Maybe Michael's character falls for one that he is trying to rescue...(Hello Taxi Driver)

You haven't seen Dead Man?
There you get to see Mr Wincott and Lance Henriksen acting next to each other. Some great scenes. Check it out if you've missed it. It also got John Hurt and Iggy Pop =)
