I think Lance Henriksen would be great for this.

Whatever happened to softly-spoken Irish film critic Mark Cousins, who used to almost literally wank over the art of movie making late at night on BBC Two?

Or my personal favourite Lance - Lance Percival (famous satirical calypso singer of That Was The Week That Was fame) - who would be ideal for this role if he wasn't dead. :(

EDIT: Having Googled, it appears that Lance is still alive. Good for him, say I! :)

The last I heard of Mark Cousins he was pulling a mobile cinema across Scotland with Tilda Swinton to Narin or somewhere for a film festival. Whether the people of Nairn wanted it is another matter.

Laughing out loud

Yep, that sounds like the sort of thing he would be doing.

And you thought Tilda Swinton was nuts.
