Rome

[graculus]

Just started watching Rome, which looks very entertaining already (and yes, I'm going to copy it for you, cycnus39 as I'm sure you'll be interested - alas, I will only have a couple of eps before we next meet but I'm sure the rest can follow).

For an HBO show, I find the casting quite entertaining - have to say Ciaran Hinds as Caesar is inspired. But did they just decide to only cast British actors? ;)

Everyone knows that when there's a Brit villain, the American must be the hero! :P

Of course, the fact that none of the American heroes bar Morgan Freeman could act their way out of a paper bag is beside the point... ;)

Ah, but Morgan Freeman was a Moor, iirc. I was actually rooting for Alan Rickman to win to tell the truth.

And we don't supply American actors, we supply American STARS. Acting is not a requirement for a lead role over here. Who needs actors anyway, when there are Brits around? ;-)

I think you hit the nail on the head there! :P
