--- Quote from: Sir William on 2014-06-03, 19:13:31 ---I'd go with a two-part series in the vein of The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion- both books on the Marshal's life, split into two parts, by Elizabeth Chadwick.

Young(er) Marshal:  Liam McIntyre (played Spartacus, seasons 2-3); Luke Evans is also great choice, or Henry Cavill, or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister on GoT)
Old(er) Marshal:  Liam Neeson (he played a similar character as the Baron d'Ibelin in Kingdom of Heaven) - best choice, Crowe would be a great second

In the research materials I've gone over in the past all personify the Marshal as imposing in both physical and charismatic attributes so I purposely chose actors who can bring both to the big screen.

The funny thing is it is Elizabeth Chadwick's FB page on the Marshal that is discussing this. All of your nominees have been suggested except for Liam McIntyre

Sir William:
McIntyre's got the chops and athleticism; he's already proficient with a sword and being on horseback- of course, he'd need to learn how to do it medieval style rather than Romanesque but I feel he'd give the role its just due.  I like Coster-Waldau the best though, for that role at that age (30s - 50s lets say).

You are six years too late, alas!  He might've been able to pull off the Marshal nearing the end.
