The Leonard Lopate Show

any of hannibal; bill parish in Meet Joe Black;

Of course Hannibal...but, for some reason I always think of him as the butler in Remains of the Day. A brilliant performance.

the butler in the remains of the day....

John Adams,(former US President) in Amistad, as Trial Attorney on behalf of the group of slaves who were seized by the (US) Coast Guard after overpowering their captors/slaver-traders.

It shows American Justice System at its best upholding the Constitution of the Nation (USA)over the pressure of the Queen of Spain... and of course, Sir A. Hopkins's performance is just extraordinary, amazing and extremely powerful.

My favorites are A ROOM WITH A VIEW and the movie about a bachelor schoolmaster who meets a Jewish lady and falls in love for the first time. Basically, I think Mr. Hopkins could make brushing your teeth look interesting.

Legends of the Fall.... sigh.... Col. William Ludlow

Bert in "The Fastest Indian"

and Richard in "The Lion in Winter"

Favorite roles "The Fastest Indian", "The Remains of the Day" and "Lion in Winter"

"The Remains of the Day", and "The Shadowlands"

Clearly Nixon. A magisterial performance, fitting for the man who would be king. Hopkins truly captures the pathos and fatal confusion of this man's career.

I just love that man! It doesn't even matter what role he plays-he's a genius!!

hopkins: titus

outstanding.

Titus Andronicus in Titus

I think he is still one of the sexiest actors today. He's good in anything he does!

Dr. Dysart on Broadway in Equus (when I was lucky enough to meet him). On tv in Leon Uris QBVII.

My husband says I call Mr. Hopkins "MY Tony". He is the quintessential actor.

Dr. Frederick Treeves in "The Elephant Man", Col. Frost in "A Bridge Too Far", both great performances...
