[QUOTE="Assenpfeffer, post: 779402, member: 9061"] I liked every new actor in this miniseries better than the people playing them in the original miniseries. Jessica - The other actress was too motherly. Jessica should have an edge about her, and a very deliberate, controlled manner. Alice Krige carried this very well, I thought. Duncan - Much better. The actors who played Yueh, Thufir and Duncan in the original miniseries all sucked. Stilgar - The guy who played Stil in the first miniseries was the chief in [i]Das Boot[/i]. The guy can act. But you'd never know that from watching the thing. I chalk it up to a language issue and not buying into the material. Either way, Stephen Berkoff (sp?) was [i]perfect[/i] for the part, if a bit older than I'd pictured Stilgar. Even P. H. Moriarty (whose Cockney accent I found totally inappropriate last time)grew on me this time around. [/QUOTE]
