could it be?

We rented 2 movies on the weekend. Just to prove how diverse our tastes are when it comes to movies, we rented "Frost/Nixon" and "Underworld - Rise of the Lycans". You couldn't get 2 more different films.
Imagine our surprise then, when we realized that the actor who played Frost in the first movie...
also played Lucian in "Underworld"

His name is Michael Sheen. Talk about a versatile actor!! If we hadn't read the credits, I would not have even guessed that these 2 characters were the same actor. Although, now that I know, it would be hard to say I didn't see the similarities.
By the way...If you haven't seen Frost/Nixon yet, you have to. I thought it would be a boring little movie, but it was really very interesting, and extremely well acted.
And the science fiction nut in me loves the Underworld movies. This one is #3 in the series, and is actually the "prequel" to the first 2. And needless to say....I think I'm a bit of a Micheal Sheen fan now.

Wow! Even looking at the pictures it's hard to believe it's the same actor! I'd say he's versatile. Frost/Nixon has been on my list for awhile. Glad to hear you enjoyed it, because like you I was afraid it might be boring.
