  • harel I think Albert Finney should play Sweeney

    • dylanemery   @harel I can see why in some aspects, but I believe Bob Hoskins is better suited for the part. He's the only actor I can think of where he can switch from being comedic to dramatic, sympathetic to monstrous, and emotive to stoic. I have seen him do all of that in a way that really plays to his strengths as an actor where he comes across as both plain and average appearance wise, but goes all out with just his physical presence and gravelly voice in a way that just takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. That is what makes him my ideal pick for Sweeney Todd in this occasion.
