I haven't seen all of these, but these were the ones I recognized personally. He does a lot of supporting roles, but he's literally in everything.
I loved his King Edward in "The Bruce." I think he even outdid the guy who played the same role on "Braveheart."The Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

He has climbed Everest a couple of times too (without oxygen IIRC).Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
