don't know, maybe Mary's father may have had a little more fire tho'

That's him! You can also find him in:

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
The Phantom Menace
The Haunted Mansion

There are many others, but I don't remember them all now...

That IS Terrence Stamp. "Kneel before ZOD!!!!"

This guy did not play Mary's father. The guy who played Mary's father had a bunch of moles on his face and way more wrinkles.

right...but terrence stamp was GONNA play her father, but walked off the set. smart guy, i'd say.

Hi, Anxy! I like the other guy who played her father. He was the right type of asshole for that part! Now this guy in Priscilla was sad.

I love the stories that the actor who actually played Mary's dad, Stephen Berkoff, tells about Prince's directorial style. In was in one of the bios and Stephen said he got Terrence Stamp's castoff. He says that Prince had a peculiar obsession with the actor's speaking the text exactly as written, with no room for improv. And if prince saw something on the monitor he didn't like, Berkoff and the rest of the cast/crew would hear the dreaded sound of Prince's high heels clomping across the floor.

As a movie director, Prince makes a great omnisexual pop star.

Just what this country needs...

That would be Stephen Berkoff. He was also the bad guy in Octopussy and Beverly Hills Cop (continuing the long tradition of English actors playing bad guys in American movies).

Of course, Mary was played by Kristin Scott-Thomas who also went onto greater things with 4 Weddings and a Funeral and The English Patient.

Stephen Berkoff = the poor man's Terrence Stamp?

Terrence Stamp is way more imposing and mean. check him out in that Soderbergh movie.... did I mispell?

Anxiety said:

I think stephen berkoff said that was his worst role ever... I think he plays a perfect asshole father

ShySlantedEye1 said:

Terrance is one of this worlds best actors? highly regarded by his peers...if he walked off the set, thats saying more about the script/film then it does his acting abilities..

Kneel before Mr. Sharon!

Just picture it!

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!!!

huh? i didn't say he was one of the world's best actors, but he's pretty damn good at what he does. if nothing else, sheesh, he was GENERAL ZOD. what else do you want???

Anxiety said:

oh my god!! no, that should have been a statement..not a question..

lol..

i think Stephen Berkoff thought it was going to have the same success as
Purple Rain.
u cant really blame him for disowning the role.

i thought he was great in it though.

What was sad about it?

My dad played Terence Stamp at table tennis. And lost.

He is a coward afterall.

Yes thats him ,a shit actor anyway

You should try to catch Terence Stamp on one of the old movie channels in this film called "The Collector" from 1965! It's the kind of movie that stays with you, sort of like "The Professional" does.
