Who portrayed Professor Moriarty?


I was at the movie's Chinese Wikipedia page some time ago, and I was surprised to see that the cast list there linked Professor Moriarty with actor Robert Mailet, the actor who played the brutal Dredger. While I can't find any source proving that claim, I find one part that supports it - Moriarty's voice (before redubbed by Jared Harris) is quite deep-sounding, which is similar to Dredger's voice.

Does anyone also think that it's Dredger's actor playing Moriarty in this film?

Moriarty's voice (before redubbed by Jared Harris)


I just watched it on blu-ray a couple days ago and I instantly recognized his voice as Jared Harris. So that was added post-release, and his dialogue previously sounded different?

I have just watched the first DVD version and I always thought it was Richard E Grant providing the voice of Moriarty.

Correct. Harris had not been cast as Moriarty at the time of the film's release.

You are sin.

Ed Tollput played Moriarty, with Andrew Jack providing the voice.

The voice was redubbed on later versions by Jared Harris.
