Quick question, just because I need some inspiration here.

[apocalypsos]

Which male actor you've never seen play a vampire do you think would make a really cool bloodsucker? (And go ahead and be as far out as possible. He doesn't even have to be good-looking or young, just different.)

EDIT: Come to think of it, the less threatening he looks, the better.

Vincent D'Onofrio

I second this!

Also, um....Jackie Chan. I second also someone's Harrison Ford, because I think he needs to play at least one character of pure, unadulterated evil.

Luke Wilson as the most inept and stupid vampire ever, but still, in some way, charming.

I'm surprised Al Pacino hasn't already, now that you mention it.

Oh, God. That is horribly, horribly tempting to write.

Benno Fuhrmann (German actor, he was in Sineater with Heath Ledger)
Edward Norton

Colin Farrell ;)
Sean Connery

Johnny Depp :)

Alan Rickman

John Malkovich

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Highly sexy, but not non-threatening.

I'd be terrified of Rickman and Malkovich vampires.

I'd also be dead-by-orgasm before either laid a finger on me.

[siegeofangels.livejournal.com]

Hrm. Non-threatening.

Any of the Newsies.
Anthony Perkins.
Harrison Ford, just because it makes no sense.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Anthony Perkins.

Oh, he'd have been brilliant as a vampire.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

Ryan Phillipe

I haven't heard anything about him lately...

Totally off the wall? - Robin Williams

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I would love to see Colin Firth play a vampire. That genial, happy, open face hiding a cold, calculating predator? Oh, wait. He played that in Valmont.

Steve Buscemi, too. What a great vampire he'd make. :)

Nonthreatning vampire prettyboys?

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

I was gonna stay Steve Buscemi, yeah. non-threatening.

Jason Schwartzman.
Don Cheadle. (there need to be more non-white vampires.)

[maryavatar.livejournal.com]

Callum Keith Rennie
Ted Raimi
Eric Szmanda
Nick Stahl

And there would have been a lot more names, but I kept going 'Tom Lenk... no, he was a vampire. Keifer Sutherland... Duh, Lost Boys, moron.' etc.

[the-swordman.livejournal.com]

Callum Keith Rennie plays a vampire in Blade Trinity. But his screen time is way too short.

[kutsuwamushi.livejournal.com]

Graham Norton!

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

I fear your brain.

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

I nearly said Johnny Depp, but then I figured everyone else would have mentioned him.

I nearly said Willem Dafoe, but then I remembered he was Max Schreck.

And Monica Bellucci was in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Harvey Keitel would be terrifying. I mean, can you imagine having that flying at your throat?

Ewan McGregor.

I think Dame Judi Dench would potentially be fantastic as a creature of supreme darkness and evil, whithered by great age but still bearing traces of her former beauty. Or possibly just an old lady who turns into one of the Undead.

Oh, and Keira Knightley. Because Keira Knightley should be in as many sexy roles as possible.

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

Whoops, missed the 'male' part. Still, Harvey Keitel. Scary.

[dhaunea.livejournal.com]

Vin Disel. *grins*
Victor Garber. *larger grin*
Jon Stewart
Eddie Izzard! Now he'd make a great vampire if you wanted someone not to be expected.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Jon Stewart

Oooooooooooooo. Wait a sec.

*imagines Jon as a vampire*

OOOOOOOOOO.

Darn, I was gonna say Michael Madsen but then the repressed memory of Vampires Anonymous reared it's ugly head.

William H Macy.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

William H Macy.

Oh, man. I may have to make another character simply for that suggestion alone. William H. Macy as a vampire ... that is a wonderfully evil mental image. :)

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

I would love to see Peter Wingfield play a vampire... but then I'd pretty much love to see him play ANYTHING!!

[cyprinella]

Amen.

Elijah Wood

That's at least the second time somebody has suggested him and now I have an idea for a character for The Vampires of Vandling. And if I actually do use it, he's going to end up sharing the same apartment with the character I based on Dom. No, that's not begging for slash fic. *eye roll* ;)

He looks sinister but come on...

Ricardo Montalban.

You know it.

...I would pay lots and lots of money to see Paul Gross play a vampire.

I'm just saying.
