Fun With British Casting

[tealin]

It's been a while since I had the pleasure of bringing the world a Screen Cap Comic.

(Run away! Run away!)



How joyless my life would be without you and your varied acting careers, Lee Ingleby and James D'Arcy. : )

That was hilarious! :DJack looks so happy chappy in the second one... Man, I can't find that Nickleby version anywhere. I'll have to wait till I go to Britain again :P ( Which fonts are you using, by the way? )

"Our fortune!"

That poor kid (Smike, I assume?) looks so pale and green, practially at Death's Door, like he's already spent months at sea! The captain and the doctor(?) look like they were captured by one of those "scream-cams" on a Disneyland rollercoaster! ("C'mon, let's buy it!" ! Are you kidding? They want $14 for a wallet-size!""But you look so funny!") And I can't think of anything clever to add to the third one. But they're all great screen shots!

Nicholas Nickelby! Yay!

(Okay, done.)

Good old Casablanca Antique (italic, here). That is my crutch font. : )

I got mine on eBay, but it was from an American store. I think I found it on Amazon as well but it was cheaper on eBay. You just have to look...

Have I ever mentioned how much I love your icon? It makes me chuckle every time I see it.

It's the captain and Pullings, actually ... same actor as Nicholas, hence the gag. : ) I really ought to have found one where he's all in his smart dress uniform, but the only scenes I could think of like that were very dour and I didn't have time to watch the entire movie again to find a happy one.

Awwwww. I love when things like that happen, where the actor's characters have funny parallels. Or not, and you just make fun of them for having crazy different parts. :)

Poor Lee Ingleby... all his characters have bad endings.

I don't know if you've ever read Anna of the Five Towns, but if they were to film it they'd have to cast Lee for Willie Price and James for Henry Mynors.

(Willie Price kills himself.)

I giggled insanely when I found out Christian Bale was born in Wales.

Uh...I meant Pullings! Yeah!

Sure! I knew that! Of course I can tell the characters apart!(hangs head in shame as "The Official Master and Commander Fan Club" patch is ripped from is shirt, leaving a gaping hole big enough for the cold, friendless wind to blow into, chilling his very SOUL - sorry, I couldn't find an emoticon for that)

Me too. :)

Silly James D'Arcy.

Was he?! Hahahahaha! Welsh Batman! XD

His parents are English, but he was born in Wales. 'S funny because he voiced Howl in the English dub of Howl's Moving Castle, and in the book Howl is Welsh. Also Batman - one doesn't usually associate Batman with Wales.
