Mort

So Colin Morgan once mentioned that if they ever make a movie of it, he wants to play Mort- Death's apprentice, from the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name. Mort is described as having "the sort of body that seems to be only marginally under its owner's control; it appeared to be built out of knees" and possessing "the vague, cheerful kind of

Oh my he would be the perfect Mort!

We should all start a petition to snag him the part. Surely someone is up for making that movie.

Oh, that's a brilliant manip! I really, really hope they could make Mort with Colin before he gets too old - I suppose it would be difficult fitting around Merlin shooting schedules but he would be soooo good.

I love that he's a Pratchett fan, too. You can see it in some of the humour in Merlin, I think. ;)

Thank you! I figure he could probably pull it off if given the chance- he managed to do The Island on break, as well as that other new movie he's in whose name I forget. He's a hard worker, is Colin!

What a great manipulation! I totally want this movie to happen (especially because it´s one of my favourites among the "Discworld"-books) and Colin would be a great Mort. And I totally sign this: "when I read that interview I fell in love with Colin just a little bit more"

Thanks!

Colin's clueless expression in this is priceless!
Your right, he'd be great as Mort.

The funnest part of making this was going through my (not insubstantial) collection of pictures and trying to find the proper expression- when I saw this one I lol'd and knew it was the one.
