Brendan Gleeson = Perfect.


What more can I say, he is perfect for the role and one of the best character actors ever so it is sure to be a show to watch.

I love Gleeson and have faith in his ability to pull off the role, but does anyone know why they didn't get Albert Finney back?

If you compare a picture of Gleeson without a beard to a picture of churchill and then think of Gleeson partly bald, the similarities are such that they could've been brothers. I think his resemblance of Churchill in this film is going to be stunning.

Trust Me.. He looks just like him when he's made up!

My thoughts exactly.

He played the part well, but he wasn't perfect. Have you ever seen The Gathering Storm? Now Albert Finney, he was perfect.

I agree.

He is a great, and versatile, actor. I really enjoyed him in "In Bruges", and Kingdom of Heaven.

the most masterful performance depicting a historical leader....quite possibly ever.

I truly believed he was Winston Churchill
