Question

Who is the best Shakespersian actor you know alive today?

Answer 1

My vote is with Kenneth Branagh

Answer 2

One of the best women I have seen is Dame Judi Dench, she is a natural.

Answer 3

I'm going to have to say Kenneth Branagh.

He was... magic in his rendition of Henry V. : )

Hayley.

Answer 4

Of course, I am a big fan of Kenneth Branagh, but we are both fans of Derek Jacobi.

What a voice. In the source is his prologue for Henry V (Kenneth Branagh directing).

Answer 5

Kenneth Branagh.   He gives Laurence Olivier a run for his money.

Derek Jacobi is up there also. Anthony Sher is excellent as well but mostly only known in Britain.  I also like Patrick Stewart but I think that's mainly because I'm a Star Trek geek.

Answer 6

Kenneth Branagh, hands down

Answer 7

Again, I have to say Kenneth Brannagh, definately. His portrayal of Iago is fantastic! Definately on a par with Laurence Olivier in my book. But I also do like Ian Mckellen (as much as I hate the 1930s set film of Richard III because of the change in time, he does act fantastically well in it).
