Oh no. I know that whatever I vote Steve Martin is going to go through...and I would hate that. Well.
Martin Benson, he was good in ASITD and I liked him there.
Of course Burt Kwouk, our wonderful Cato.

Graham Stark, without a doubt in my mind. He was great in all his parts.
Kevin Kline, but purely because I don't really remember Kaufmann. And I liked Kline in A Fish Called Wanda. But I didn't like him in PP 2006. Oh well.

John Le Mesurier. I saw him recently again while watching Fu Manchu with Sellers for the third time. I liked him and I noticed him in PP. I like him better than Roger Rees. He didn't leave any impression on me.
George Sanders. He was great, a very good actor. Great as monsieur Ballon.

wonder how that would go? Insp. Clouseau singing: oh, the French government sent me out on the town gonna catch me a theif, gonna bring the guy down with a P on his glove, his numbered days have been written cos i know that my foe is [shouted] Sir Charles Phantom - the Notorious Litton!;D ;D ;D That's really great actually. Is that something from an actual song where you just changed a few lines from or did you make it all up? If it's that last one, then I think you're brilliant.

Possibly. This may create spin-offs. Oh my God. The people at MGM are only after the money...

i dunno... i still maintain that i prefer Martin's version because he made it his own and added some originality to the character, rather than just doing an imitation of Sellers... i think even if we got Rush a dialect coach and put him in the role, i think if all he does is an impersonation of Sellers, that's no good... there needs to be something new brought to the table to make it interesting and worthwhile... Sellers, himself, was getting tired of the role by the time Revenge came along, because they'd basically done all they could do with the character the way he played him... by making a few changes, it just makes it all a bit more fresh, which is what you need if you want viewers to keep coming back... I'm not sure if Sellers was getting tired from the part: he wrote the screenplay for Romance by himself (along with Jim Moloney but that doesn't matter now), which would have begin shooting in 1981 so I don't know for sure if he was getting tired of the part. Anyway, a good point about the imitation: after all it would only be a imitation if Rush did it. What always bothered me about Martin is that he didn't dye his hair. Now it's just Martin with a moustache and an accent. He did his best but I only saw Martin doing Clouseau and not Clouseau on it's own. But I wonder, if this filmseries would stop when Martin dies, are they going to continue it without him? That's something to think about.

I think Rush could pull it off. How about Pierce Brosnan as the new Clouseau? [glow=red,2,300]NO![/glow]i already couldn't stand him as James Bond... i don't even want to IMAGINE the damage he could do to the Panther series!!! I rather liked him as Bond. But to say he could play Clouseau...a huge 'NO' to that one! I didn't even like Roger Moore as Clouseau, I thought he was awful. Give Geoffrey Rush some dialect coaches or something like that to teach him the Clouseau speech and he could do it. I rather wouldn't even have new Panthers without Sellers, but if it HAS to be done he would be the best, not to take anything away from Steve Martin though.

Dana Carvey annoys me to no end... my wife thinks he's hilarious, but a few months ago, we sat and watched Master of Disguise, and i couldn't WAIT for it to end! it was horrible! unfortunately for me, she loved it so much, she even wants the DVD... Oh, that's such a terrible movie. I feel sorry for you! I'm one of the die hard fans who will say that nobody is able to fill up Peter's shoes. He created the character and should be the only one to play it. But I understand, as time goes on, the time would come that someone else would play it: Steve Martin. While I liked the guy in some other movies, he just felt wrong for the part. Not to say he screwed up, but it just didn't feel right. But all in all I enjoyed the movie and had a nice time. I see everyone praises Geoffrey Rush for his excellent performance in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. My opinions on how they portrayed Sellers (as a mean-spirited man) aside, he was wonderful. His Clouseau imitation was a very good one, but would he be able to do that a whole film?

i believe Lom was speaking of Sellers' children in that quote - Michael and Victoria... Michael, Victoria AND Sarah . But I think he talked about his own children, see: 'I have been hurt by my children' That must mean he meant his children, and I know he's been married a few times.

well what's bad is that CR was kinda growing on me, anyway, but i found Pussycat to be just so utterly crazy, CR suddenly now seems like a masterpiece to me! That's strange. I think Pussycat is great and not as strange and unsettling as CR was. The ending isn't as strange IMO. It is strange, that's right. But nowhere near as strange as CR. It's alot more funny instead of bizarre.

Me twice. I don't like the idea of calling Steve Martin Clouseau at all. I just believe Peter was the only man who should have played the character. I think the character died with him. Beyoncé irritated the hell out of me. I understand how it's great for Clouseau because he likes Steve Martin, but I don't and if that's the case you're bound to hate this movie. There were a few funny gags though. I see where your coming from. I didn't really think Beyonce was annoying (In fact I quite liked her ) When I went to see the film I wasn't expecting Martin's Clouseau to be anything like Sellers, and it wasn't. Which I thinks a good thing but I did not like Martin's Clouseau as much as Sellers. It wasn't a bad performance though, IMO. Anyway I watched High Anxiety starring Harvery Korman. I am a big fan of Harvey korman and he made the filme even funnier ;D One of Mel Brook's better films. Harvey Korman is great! As Prof. Balls I prefered Graham Stark though but I liked his portrayal in Trail and Curse very much. I've just watched Strikes Again. The best Panther, with Sellers at his best in this one. I just can't get enough of this movie.

Wow you really love it. I've watched it about 3 times. Me twice. I don't like the idea of calling Steve Martin Clouseau at all. I just believe Peter was the only man who should have played the character. I think the character died with him. Beyoncé irritated the hell out of me. I understand how it's great for Clouseau because he likes Steve Martin, but I don't and if that's the case you're bound to hate this movie. There were a few funny gags though.
