I know there is a thread asking which roles you'd like to see Michael in on tv...but what else? Film or stage or whatever.
I am a a comic book nerd. Especially for Batman. I think Mikey would make a FANTASTIC Two-Face. Beyond fantastic actually. I think he could pull off that crazy and tragic mentality really well. But, I'd like to see him as someone besides a villain.
I hope he has a theatrical singing voice because I think he would be an amazing Erik/Phantom of the Opera. That is a tragic role I think he could play. Everyone in the musical finds him a villain, but everything he does is out of love. Even if he is not a phenomenal singer, he could play the role in a movie version that does not require much singing for the role. I just think he'd be absolutely perfect as that character.

Napoleon! That would be really cool.
I would love to see him in a dark Tim Burton fantasy. That would be really neat.

I was just thinking that I would love to see him as a foreign soldier.
One of my all-time favorite books and classic movies is "All Quiet on the Western Front" (recommend it to EVERYONE)...and it tells the story of World War I from the point of view of the German soldiers. Paul is the main character and he is sensitive and kind-hearted, but becomes bitter during the end of the story. Even though he is a younger character, I think Michael would make a wonderful Paul. Or another soldier in the story.

Hi "All quiet on the western front " by Remarque is a great choice, Michael has this typical classical face for stuff like that, he could play a concentration victim also like a Truman character, a Shakespearean character as well a John Irving fictive, he is so talented.... I miss parts like lovers and gamblers, clowns (yeah I remember Kevin Anderson/Tennessee Williams)the Prosphero type, the John Steinbeck Character, William Faulkner or the Herman Hesse / >Thomas Mann dramatics men.(I`M not taking about Robert Musil) Men on the edge, men looking in their destiny, creative, lovely, but lonely, emotional, dirty, open, closed, full of secrets,tender, married but caged, thinking but be afraid of it, psychological brilliant but not helping for himself,and I`m not talking about Hanibal Lektor. In Germany it´s time to go to bed....  I could talk and talk I guess about the Michael`s role I m imagine. My personal dream is to see him playing the biography of Peter Lorre!!!!!I have so much information and ideas about this. night Martina |

Henry Carr in Stoppard's Travesties. My favourite actor of all time, John Wood, originated the role, and since I missed it (blast it, why couldn't I have been around in 1974), I want to see my other favourite actor of all time (i.e. Mr. Emerson) in the role.
Plus, John and Michael have the same noses. And they both have oh-so-adorable semi-nasally voices that I'm instantly drawn to. (Hmm, there's got to be a correlation there, hasn't there? LoL.)

I want to see Michael Emerson as Felix Unger and Terry O'Quinn as Oscar Madison (The Odd Couple).
I would also love to see Michael in the role of George in the play Of Mice and Men.

Erm... heh, heh... I'm pretty sure John Wood wasn't in 'Holocaust'. I checked IMDB and there was a 'James Woods' in the cast list, though. Were you thinking of him, perhaps?

He did a great job narrating a version of American Gods for the "Legends II" audiobook. I'm sure the Brits here might find his scottish accent off, but it worked on these American ears.
