I am glad to find someone else who agrees with me about Derek 
Jacobi.  The first time I saw him was in high school when I saw him 
play Hamlet-I have been a fan ever since.  I have also seen the 
complete I Claudius series in which he starred.  I agree-given of 
what I have seen him do-that he does have the right mixture of 
authority and playfulness-not only in his voice but his demeanor also.
I am also a fan of Patrick Stewart.  I think both of these men are 
talented actors and would fulfill the early promise shown in the 
casting of the best actors Britain has to offer-such as Maggie Smith, 
Alan Rickman and Kenneth Branaugh.
