Hmm another vote for Peter O'Toole our band continues to grow.  Nice.  I
always thought it should have been him to start with but.......

Despite earlier reservations, the name of Billy Connolly does keep popping
back.  He is a serious actor (Mrs Brown) etc., as well as a comedian and
would do the part very well.  This is a turnaround from a much earlier post
I made but I am beginning to see his good points.

I know him!  He was in a musical once!  No, that's not damning with faint
praise just my first view of the guy!!! He might be a possible Lupin, you
are right.  He was on TV ages ago (when I last watched...) and I was
impressed, maybe he could to the rathrr wry sadness tempered with hidden
steel (forged by suffering etc., etc.,).  Well done for suggesting someone
good and not too far fetched.
