Movies Ian McDiarmid in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi or John Hurt in The Elephant Man - Who gave the better acting performance?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Both are brilliant performances.

Both used a lot of makeup to become their characters.

Which one is better in your opinion?

Did that mothefuuker actually contract elephant aids just for the film or was it makeup
if he didn't get elephant aids, fuck that guy he has no commitment to the method

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Always loved the Emperor from Star Wars.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Thread should be Elephant Man or Rocky Dennis

The brilliant thing about casting a young actor as an old character in a franchise is it ensures you can get another 50 years out of them.

 

[Natural Order]

Are we comparing the Elephant Man to The Emperor?

Bro, this is getting out of hand…

How many Jedi did the Elephant Man kill?

Palpatine by armbar.
