Scott's portrayal of Rochester
I personally find George C. Scott perfect in the role of Thornfield Hall's gruff and brooding master! Some consider Scott too old for the role or too restrained, but I don't find his age an issue (he's simply "mature"!) and his passionate nature certainly comes across, IMO. In fact, he has taken possession of this role and ruined it in my book for any other actor. I'm sure their performances are fine but when I see William Hurt or Timothy Dalton, I'm thinking they should be Scott and find them both quite unbelievable as Rochester!
How do other viewers find Scott's portrayal of Mr. Rochester?
