Kingsley Boots!

Oct 24, 2005 12:52

I've been very busy recently, but one thing I have done is see the film Kinky Boots. It is fantastic, I really love it. And yay for it being as close to being British as you get nowadays (it's got american money ( Read more... )

*falls over scrambling to vote for Chiwetel Ejiofor for Kingsley*

*laughs* Have you seen him in anything? He is just brilliant.

islandsmoke October 24 2005, 14:52:00 UTC

Actually, I have. He was in "Love Actually," with Alan Rickman - and a few other minor actors...

dora_the_nymph October 25 2005, 20:52:00 UTC

I love that film!

mongoluehring October 24 2005, 14:10:13 UTC

He's very good, yes. And impressive, which is how I always imagine Kingsley. I bet he at east gts to audition! *huggles*

dora_the_nymph October 25 2005, 20:52:23 UTC

Well, they should be falling over themselves to get him I say!

rayvyn2k October 24 2005, 14:41:51 UTC

He is really handsome...is he tall? I always pictured Kingsley as tall...

mongoluehring October 24 2005, 14:51:46 UTC

His imdb bio lists him at 5'10", so not super tall. WB doesn't seem really fussy about that sort of thing, though. It looks like Chiwetel Ejiofor has some scars on his forehead. Where'd those come from?

http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,6737,1580954,00.html - that interview is quite interesting and has stuff about his Potter-esque scar, I believe.

Brilliant choice! Couldn't agree more. He was wonderful in Serenity, the epitome of "cool" menace, and he's very versatile.

dora_the_nymph October 25 2005, 20:56:37 UTC

That's just it! I'm boggled by his versatility actually,!

Ooh, I'll have to look for his movies! I have the 'look' for Kingsley in my head okay; it's his voice and accent that I'm Americanising all the damn time. :) I need to see this guy in action. Good rec, though!

dora_the_nymph October 25 2005, 20:59:26 UTC

Accent is always a bit of a interesting one. In Serenity he is very ambiguous, and could possibly be american, in Kinky Boots he is playing a drag queen and this will of course make some differences to voice so... yeah. Honestly, in my head Kingley would say pretty much the same things as Remus, but with a little bad-ass edge. Not much of one though.

Perfect! Yes yes yes. Because he is supposed to be kind and courteous and what not, but still... he's a street cop. That's how I'm thinking of him, at least.

My brain is still going with Laurence Fishburne in Othello. Or hell, Matrix for that matter. Not quite British enough, I know, but I like his slow, precise way of speaking... :)

And OMG femmeslash icon!!!
