If you could perform alongside any artist (actor, dancer, musician, etc.), who would it be, and what would you perform?

Henry V- Speech

I'd like to act alongside Kenneth Branagh. I have so much respect for that particular breed of Shakespearean actors you get here, I think they're just so amazingly talented at their craft, and to be able to do it night in and night out in a time of cardboard stars in Hollywood amazes me. As I can't act though, I suggest I play a new character of a deaf mute squire.

The scene above is just brilliant, it really brought Shakespeare to life for me for the first time. I think the whole movie is a totally amazing achievement of his as both an actor and a director, although a couple of minutes in the middle of the battle it gets a bit gross, which makes me hesitate before recommending it to folks. (That said, it's a PG, I just am not into movie violence, lol)

I'd kill to be able to carry off a speech like that, I may try to learn it off by heart for next time we paintball. ;)
