Post by: Yipyioh


Just got done watching Cowboys & Aliens (great movie imho despite the... odd name) and was extremely entertained by Harrison Ford's acting in his gruff role. When I saw him pull a close-range headshot on a large xeno thing with a revolver my mind went "I wanna see this guy as an IG Commissar!"

Now tell me, what actors do you think would make the best Commissar for a 40k movie involving IG?

I'm not suggesting a movie or anything, I just want to have some good lolz and ponder any interesting thoughts provided by any Dakka-ites who come across this thread.

Ok, Willam DaFoe as a VERY close second. I still think Samuel L. Jackson is perfect though. I'm just glad nobody said Ah-nold or Stallone. Just saw "Black Death" last night though, and I think Sean Bean (Boromir, for those you unfamiliar with the actor) would make a great Commissar with short hair too. He can be a *alternate name for "Rick"* and get the job done.

Jason Statham, he has no emotion to speak of so would be perfect. Hugh Laurie could go well, has a great no nonsense stare. Stana Katic (Beckett from Castle) could make a good femComm.

Johnny Depp would make a good inquisitor. Mark Harmon (Gibbs - NCIS) would make a perfect Gaunt.

The accent would be the problem for me. It's just to heavy, and Gaunt needs to be quick with a quip and well-spoken.
Connery has to talk slow to make sense.

I think she could very much play a Commisar. Read about Balashin, I think she could fit the role ideally.

I am glad that others agree with Liam Neeson, but am surprised that nobody agreed with Jason Isaacs


She could stop a legion.

+1

He would be like "Gimme my Lasgun"

his sergeant would answer "Which one is it"

He would say "The one that says Bad MotherFer on it!"

Buit they would cast R. Lee Ermey in the role instead, no doubt, because he always plays the commissar/Drill Sgt.

Clint Eastwood.


Seriously, watch Gran Torino. Don't tell me he wouldn't make *the* perfect commissar. Communicating halfway through sneers and growls, threatening to shoot people and get off his damn lawn, extreme xenophobia, what's not to like about him as a Commissar? Edward James Olmos could be a good one too.

For a more "high fantasy" type Space Opera Commissar, Keith Urban wouldn't be a bad pick.

That said, I also think Morgan Freeman would make a good Commissar, in the "*almost* infinite patience but comes-down-like-a-ton-of-bricks-when-enough-is-enough" way. The sagely old man giving advice and patiently overseeing events until he can stand aside no longer sort of Commissar who then ruthlessly ends an incompetent officer and makes **** happen. Patrick Stewart would also make a good one in this role, but as a more energetic "at the front, lead them with verse" type.

Most other actors I see being mentioned would make better IG command officers.

Those were the first two I thought of after seeing Cowboys and Aliens (feel free to slap me) was the roles for both Craig and Harrison Ford were just done so well for this style.

I'm going to go ahead and say Liam Neeson, or *prepare for flak storm* Leonardo DiCaprio. Maybe in a decade or so... I think a commissar would need to be played by someone at least 45 years old.

Have you seen Fillions role in Buffy? For those who haven't, he plays an evil preacher named Caleb. Over the course of his role he stabs 2 girls, breaks anothers arm, snaps 1 girls neck and gouges out the eye of one the main characteres with his thumb... Thats pretty Commissar worthy to me. I would also be happy to see him play a more troop friendly role though maybe a sergeant or such?


EDIT* - When i think about it, I'm pretty sure that all happens in the same episode.

Never seen Buffy, just going off him in Firefly, Dr. Horrible, and Castle and his general goofy nature seems unfit for the role.

Micheal Ironsides. The greatest B Movie actor of all time.

No joke, when I was 12 or 13 my friend and I rented... (yes I said "rented") a pile of movies. 15 to be exact.

After a long weekend of random B-Movies we had a new respect for Micheal Ironsides as he was in 11 of the movies!

If you don't know who I'm talking about, it's the teacher/officer in Starship Troopers. Ratjack or something...

I don't know about the flak storm, the march of time has hit DiCaprio like a bag of fething bricks. He's far from that baby-faced hearththrob for little girls he was in the 90s, and he's been picking interesting roles for himself. He could probably play the slightly more human Commissar, who understands the necessity of war and what he does, but also doesn't go Commissar Fukclaw on everyone's ass over every little thing.

He was also one of the trainers in TopGun and hated Mavrick

I would have to say Sean Bean, anyone who has Seen him in "Patriot Games" knows just how intense of an actor he can be, thats perfect for a Commisar character if you ask me!

Hell no, he can play the cult leader that started the planet-wide insurrection the IG are fighting against.

Upon thinking about it more, I vote he is played entirely by James Earl Jones's voice.

this would work especially well for a DKoK commissar, because then it wouldnt matter who was in the suit, similar in vein to darth vader.

He has my vote, especially if he starts throwing out quotes like he did in pulp fiction. He would be one bad mutha f commisar .

I was going to say no to Nathan Fillian until I was reminded of his role in Buffy. And then thought it would be brilliant!
I remember 2 guys I think would be a good commisar: Clancy brown and Michael Wincott. AKA The Kurgan from the original Highlander, and Top Dollar from The Crow.

Bruce Campbell as Commissar Ciaphas Cain would be a good fit.
