Just for the heck of it, what are some things you'd cast David Warner in if you could? It could be something that's already been made, and you get to re-cast, or it could be something that hasn't been done yet.

Obviously I'd like to see him actually get to be on Doctor Who at some point, instead of just the audios and animated things.

I'd love for him to get a cameo on Chuck like Bruce Boxleitner did. Pretty sure he'd end up getting cast as a villain though. :[

And last on my list of shows for right now is Game of Thrones. While the first season was still being cast I saw his name mentioned as a possible Walder Frey. Very glad that didn't happen, as I loathe Walder Frey. I can't think of any specific character I'd really like to see David Warner play, but there are about a thousand characters so I can still dream that maybe he'll show up in season 2.

Finally, I think it's stuck in development hell but if the movie (or anything at all) of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell ever gets made, I'd want David Warner in that as well. I think he'd probably have made a great Jonathan Strange when he was younger. Now he could probably play Mr Norrell, though for some reason I see him playing Childermass. I don't remember if Childermass' age was ever specified and frankly I don't care too much. Childermass is awesome.

"…Childermass knew the world. Childermass knew what games the children on street-corners are playing — games that all other grown-ups have long since forgotten. Childermass knew what old people by firesides are thinking of, though no one has asked them in years. Childermass knew what young men hear in the rattling of the drums and the tooting of the pipes that makes them leave their homes and go to be soldiers — and he knew the half-eggcupful of glory and the barrelful of misery that await them. Childermass could look at a smart attorney in the street and tell you what he had in his coat-tail pockets. And all that Childermass knew made him smile; and some of what he knew made him laugh out loud; and none of what he knew wrung from him so much as ha' pennyworth of pity." —  Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Oh, and really really last thing, I think David Warner would have been a great Dumbledore. No offense meant to Michael Gambon but he was really miscast.

tl;dr version: I pretty much want him to be cast in everything I like.

Great topic, Swift!

Dr. Who is an excellent idea!  Funny you mention Dumbledore.  I'll see your Dumbledore and raise you a Snape.  Not that I have anything against Alan Rickman - he's a good Snape - but David Warner *IS* my favorite.  I think David would make a terrific Snape! 

I would also love to see him in another role like in Albert's Memorial.  Not a villain and not a heroic character - just an "every day guy" type of role that also has humor thrown in. 

It would be awesome if he could host an episode of Saturday Night Live (it's a quite popular comedy show here in the United States, in which they do various sketches).  I think an SNL episode with David Warner as host would be a riot!!

Honestly can't say I agree with you on Snape; I love Snape but he's a little too much of the same sort of snarky villain you'd expect David Warner to be cast as. My vote stays with Dumbledore. The man's kind, funny, but also a badass. And a Trope Namer !

Definitely agree with you on Albert's Memorial, though. Haven't seen it yet, but I can already say I'd like to see more of that. Or characters like Dr. Necessiter in The Man With Two Brains.

As for Saturday Night Live, I can't really judge since I've only seen the occasional sketch here or there and don't watch it regularly. Some are golden, and some are just crap.

I thought Snape was the good guy?? 

Maaaaannnn... Ok, forget Snape then.  I agree wtih you on Dumbledore (never did disagree... lol).

Yes, Saturday Night Live has been hit-or-miss lately with their sketches.  All the more reason to have David Warner on to host.  He'd liven it up!

Well, let's just say Snape is a nasty piece of work.

Hi!

I think, David had to play more than enough of bad characters in his career, even if he did it so well. I´d like to see him also more in funny roles. He even said, he prefers that kind of characters,where he is able to show his sense of humour. A bad guy with a brilliant sense of humour is the perfect blend, I guess, just like in "Time Bandits" for example. Or as the grumpy old man in "Albert´s Memorial". What a movie! It definetely has to be seen! To see him alongside David Jason was an enjoyment!!!!

So! This is my first post to this site..

I had no idea this site, had a fourm...I know...I mean I come here so many times..Ya...:slaps face:

Anways....I joined today.

And I had no idea where else to post this, so I shall post it here..

So things we like to see him in..WELLL...Am trying write my own Novel...and always felt, it be rated 17+ story, more daker and mature, I'd love to see be done in adult Cartoon[Mind you not like animated Porn..just maturer..]

It is about Grim Reaper, his Daughter, and her not by blood by called "Uncles" the other 3 horsemen..Set in world, where Icombained both edwardain/Victorain era [I love period peices lol] In a another astal plan.

I so want David, to Pestleince's voice..I funny thing is..I had this certain look for Pest in my head, then only as of late have I seen..the series Crossbow, in where David was  in a EPI..he so 100% was how I Saw pest without shoes and hat thing...I nearly freaked..[and way he played him, WAS PEST TO A T..I was..'Alright I found my Pest' lol..It just sheer luck, seeing how I never heard of this or saw this untill I had my storyline..and was just watching crossbow as someone told me about it...AND I was OH HEY! david in this..]

My Character and couterpart, as jumped back and forth so many plots, now I feel it would be about her, her dad and her "Uncles" and my main villain..And how Pest, and Death's daughter have a thing for eachother, though hes more..forward about, she tries not to give in knowing it would be odd..but deep down she loves him just as much..and in end it will become offcial...The story is set around Death's daughter..tons of another characters too, but since  this is a David Site, I cant really talk about characters too...But yes..mostly themed around the horsemen and her..

This was Fan Art a friend did for me, of them.
