Long John is a perfect example of a *mitigated* villain! He's a bad guy on the surface, but we forgive him because he refuses to hurt Jim, even gives up the treasure in the end. To the point where, when you get to the LJS series, he's not a villain at all, but a cuddly, lovably scruffy hero!
Sikes is the opposite--if he has any redeeming qualities, he keeps them well hidden.
No, Bill Walker didn't murder anyone. And the other "Bill Sykes" he plays is in "Soldiers Three."
Anyway, I was just saying, if I *had* to be murdered ... (not that I *want* to be, but a guy like Robert Newton could give you fantasies about at least being his costar in the movie!). That came from an online chat topic from about ten years ago in the David Warner group ... we were being silly, and someone came up with the question, "What David Warner character do you most want to be killed by?" I was actually joining the chat from an Internet class, and the teacher caught me chatting! Luckily, he was a David Warner fan too, so I mentioned it was David Warner's birthday that day--it was--asked him the question, and he said Jack the Ripper ... "because you know David Warner would never *really* hurt you." Same thing with Bob. In fact, you know the story about him and Deborah Kerr, don't you? The scene in "Major Barbara" where he socks her in the jaw? They had to do retake after retake because Bob didn't want to hurt her, and the director kept saying it didn't look real. Deborah told him to just go ahead and hit her; it would be less painful than doing take after take. So reluctantly he did ... and then almost ruined the scene by trying to catch her and make sure she was alright!
