Everyone loves Osric!
Cushing's was great. I think a seldom-appreciated quality of Osric is that he is a real weapons geek, loves high-quality swords of all types, can catalog them backwards and forward and relishes the idea of a ripping good evenly-matched duel. Cushing captured that for me, and of course fulfilled all the comic potential of the character.

Think cynical thoughts.
He's perfect, so flamboyant and over-the-top, exactly as Osric should be! And to think this is the same man who would be the skull-faced, buttoned-up Grand Moff Tarkin later. :D
