Peter O'toole?

Who is Peter Otoole and who did he play in the OT?

 

What? Do you mean Peter Cushing? He played Grand Moff Tarkin.

But Peter O'Toole (best-known for playing Lawrence of Arabia) wasn't in the OT. Though he would have made a great Tarkin as well, I think.

 

He wasn't?

 

GRANDADMIRALAXLROSE: You don't know who Peter O'Toole is? Are you kidding?!?!

 

Peter O'Toole=Lawrence of Arabia=Alec Guinness=Star Wars

Perhaps that's where you're getting confused? ?

I seriously don't.

Help me.

 

I've heard the name, but I don't know anything about him.

 

My english teacher said he was in star wars.

 

He's a famous British actor. He won an honorary Oscar this year. He's been in many films and his most famous role is as Lawrence of Arabia.

He's not in the OT.

 

Is he in anything that could be confused with Star wars?

 

Why do people ignore my posts?

*cries in the corner*

Peter O'Toole and Alec Guinness costarred in Lawrence of Arabia. He may have gotten them confused.

Never heard of Peter O'Toole?! Honestly, some people just don't have any breeding!

 

GRANDADMIRALAXLROSE: I'm afraid your English teacher is misinformed.

 

To everyone who said they had no idea who O'Toole is, I can only stare in shock.

He is one of the greatest actors to have ever of graced the screen and one of his most recent performances was in the CBS miniseries Hitler: The Rise of Evil and he played Chancellor Hindenburg.

He is going to be Priam in the upcoming Trojan War movie called The Trojan War.

 

To everyone who said they had no idea who O'Toole is, I can only stare in shock.

Me, too. Heck, I've hardly seen any of his films, but I still know who he is.

 

He gave one of the best Oscar acceptance speeches in a long time, I think.

 

Strange to know there is somebody who doesn't know who O'Toole is - and stranger still that somebody thinks he was in Star Wars. O'Toole is probably the most talanted actor who has never won an academy award (and believe me he faces some huge competition as most of the greatest actors ever haven't won it - e.g. Cary Grant, Charles Chaplin, Richard Burton and of course our very own Harrison Ford (he deserved it for Witness)). How O'Toole failed to win an oscar for "Lawrence of Arabia" amazes me.

 

A great actor, and an even better off-screen personality.

Here's his Imdb entry

Picture's a bit old, though Try looking on Google Images for him.

 

He was originally considered for the part of Sark in Tron.

 

He also received Oscar nominations for his roles in Supergirl and King Ralph

Is there a transcript of this speech? I would love to hear it.

I guess some teachers just make innocent mistakes sometimes. I once had a teacher identify the lead actor in To Kill a Mockingbird as Henry Fonda. (It was the late, great Gregory Peck.)
