Subject: RE: Video Recommendations for lockdown
DMcG: I particularly enjoyed a villainous Aztec priest that the actor decided to use his stage experience of Shakespeare's King John for, complete with hunch back, Shakespearean language and mannerisms suitable for watching from the back of a large theatre, so wildly overextended for TV. Hilarious!
Are you sure he wasn't channelling Richard III?
I don't recall King John having a hunch back even when played by a lion in Disney's Robin Hood.
