So there I was typing away on my third installment in The Rochport Saga, when Crispian Thurlborn tags me on Twitter to name my 10 favorite screen characters. It took me a while, but I came up with 10. Here they are in no particular order:
Dracula played by Bela Lugosi
Lara Croft played by Angelina Jolie
Captain Kirk played by William Shatner
Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford
Agent Carter played by Hayley Atwell
Sherlock Holmes played by Basil Rathbone
Stevens played by Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day
Maria played by Brigitte Helm in Metropolis
Selene played by Kate Beckinsale in Underworld
Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet
Now that my list is complete, I’ll be back on Twitter playing tag.

Excellent selection! I agonised over including Selene from “Underworld”, but in the end she lost out to Eric Draven of “The Crow”. I also wanted to stick Christopher Lee down as “Dracula”. So, so, many…
I see we both picked Indiana Jones. Fantastic character (provided one forgets some of the later scripts…)
Thanks! Yours was also very good. So many, indeed. I guess, I picked up Selene for you. 🙂 I played Dracula in our high school play and used Lugosi as my role model. 🙂 Indie is truly a fantastic character. A fun exercise! Thanks for tagging!
Fantastic list!
Crispian tagged me too, but I don’t think I’ll be able to prepare my list. You guys’ lists are wonderful though 🙂
Hey, c’mon. It’s never too late. 🙂
