Throwback to when I wrote, like, one chapter of a Doom Patrol/Stargirl fanfic before the finale episode for DP pissed me off so much I abondoned it.
Just found the original drafts so I might play around with it again. Idk.
This is going to sound very strange and random, but @hotvintagepoll has got to be my favorite blog at the moment. They had a great idea and they've ran with it. I can only pray that they're going to see it though to the end.
(Also, I'm very proud of myself for recognizing so many of these actors so far)
God I hope I'm done with Man of La Mancha before I get an animal next semester. I don't want to name a cat Dulcinea, but I will if I have to.
There's a really cool point in this if you will bear with me, okay!
Peter Serafinowicz voices Death in the new audio books and in the new The Amazing Maurice, right? He's kind of like the new official Death in productions now like Christopher Lee was.
BUT guess what other show he was on that is a complete tonal shift and I didn't even realize it was him? He was The Tick in the Amazon Prime show!!! I absolutely LOVED this show!
(The bastard hid his britishness)
And now get this!
Sir David Jason played Rincwind in the Colour of Magic adaptation, okay? Well he also played Albert in the Hogfather Adaption!
There were a few other actors that where in both as well.
My point is:
Actors play in different things and everytime I discover this I get really excited for no reason 🙃.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
Don't mind me, I'm just slowly and methodically making my way through the Sidney Freedman tags. Move along.
1. "No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...The span of someone's life is only the core of their actual existence." (Reaper Man, shortened)
2. "Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?" (Going Postal)
Oh God, I'm so scared. I'm rooting for Sidney Poitier, Gregory Peck, Vincent Price, James Stewert, and Peter Falk. I know at least one of them will fall in this next round, I just hope none of them are pitted against each other. :(
James Dean
Omar Sharif
James Shigeta
Sidney Poitier
Jeremy Brett
Cary Grant
Buster Keaton
Gregory Peck
Paul Robeson
Sessue Hayakawa
Vincent Price
Toshiro Mifune
Harry Belafonte

Kisses and hugs also for every hot man loserboy who didn't make it through. Have fun in the shadow realm!
Like last time, additional propaganda for me to add to the poll posts can be sent to my ASKS in the interim between now (Sunday night) and the night of the 30th (Tuesday night). I will take video links, photos, and text propaganda, but not gifs. You can also save your propaganda until round 4 begins and I will post/boost as usual.
This timelord technology is getting out of hand. First his infinite pockets, and now his infinite hat.
I know that I've made this joke before, but the fact that the second Doctor's hat is almost always slightly off-screen always gives me big Doug Dimmadome vibes.
But to be fair, the actual length of his hat is also too funny for me to take seriously anyway.
I'm seeing people post their cards so here we go! How many prompts were there? Because all of these are so distinctive from one another lol!
I don't understand Tristan's plan for hiding his smoking in S2, E1. Like, I don't understand what the bottles were for other than to look busy whenever Siegfried came into the room. Can someone explain it to me?
For the love of GOD vote for Claude.
Claude Rains (The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Invisible Man, Mr. Skeffington, Now Voyager)—Is Claude maybe a bit too classy to be considered scrungly? Maybe, but I don't care! He's Claude Rains and he deserves to win at something. :) While he could be very smooth and suave (and sometimes deliciously evil), every once in a while, he could be pretty adorable, too! And the movie Now Voyager gave him the line: "roasting weenies??" And there are so many moments in Phantom of the Opera or Mr. Skeffington where I just want to give him a hug!
Sid James (Hell Drivers, Carry On Camping, Carry On Doctor, Three Hats for Lisa, Bless This House)—Sid James has the kind of scrungly face that looks like a guy has spent his youth boxing but now breeds canaries. Yes, he became legendary as the kind of bloke who is always happy to eye up the ladies and pull a fast one on the system, but he could also do terrifying gangster and comforting dad who might grumble a bit but will always be there for his family.
This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.
[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]
Claude Rains:
Blooper from the Prince and the Pauper

Terrible jokes and ramblings and OH GOD, THE PAIN! THE UNENDURABLE AGONY! (howdy)
