This man has never stopped working! I'm not just going to list the couple of films know him from. For one thing, his first role of note should be mentioned.
"If..." (1968) is the film that brought him to international attention long, long ago. The very next film he made is a classic: "O Lucky Man!" So, have you seen that one?
War and Peace (2007 TV miniseries) as Prince Bolkonsky Halloween (2007) .... Dr. Samuel Loomis Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius (2004)~co-starring with James (Jim) Caviezel Hidalgo (2004) I Spy (2002) Firestarter 2: Rekindled (2002 TV miniseries) as John Rainbird~This is a wonderful continuation of "Firestarter", and he is wonderful in the Rainbird role. The Void (2001) Just Visiting (2001) The Barber (2001)~I would not be surprised to see this movie become a cult film. He's one of the most low-key, laid back serial killers of all time!
My Life So Far (1999) The Gardener (1998) Hugo Pool (1997) Where Truth Lies (1996) Tank Girl (1995)~a major cult film Star Trek: ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
