"Regarding Leo Genn, I first saw him as Mr. Starbuck in John Huston's 1956 film version of Moby Dick. FYI- the ship they used for that film was the same ship that they had used for the Hispaniola in Disney's 1950 Treasure Island!"

Small world, that's the same movie I first saw him, and probably another reason he reminds me of RN! (I knew about the ship, but maybe some others didn't ... hmm, I hope I remembered to mention it in the magazine article!)

BTW, another actor I think looks a lot like RN (but not nearly as much as Leo Genn) is Milo O'Shea (as Friar Laurence in 1968's "Romeo and Juliet" at least).

I haven't seen that film in ages. But I remember what O'Shea looks like and you are right, there is a resemblance between them! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
