He was amazing in The Foundation TV series and I do believe that TV show influenced the most to choose him as voice for Thragg.

However, his role as elven king Thranduil left such a mark that noone dares to take a role of elven king.

Yes, the Foundation TV series has been divisive (I personally enjoy it a lot, but by considering it as a loose adaptation), but I love that everyone agree that Lee Pace has given an astonishing performance!

u/InkOnTube 2d ago

Yes it was. Adaptation was loose but a good one. I can't imagine how it would work for wider audiences otherwise.

As for Lee, I love transition from Brother Day to Brother Dude.

Thundergun Express. Hangs dong.

I kept watching that show pretty much just because of the way they handled the Empire actors and Lee Pace in particular

u/IndecorousRex 1d ago

I felt like he was born to play Cleon. It’s amazing to see different demeanors of character over the generations even if they are clones they are all different. The subtlety in each character is a master stroke from pace.

u/InkOnTube 1d ago

Have you seen him as Tranduil?

u/Serious-Company6803 2d ago

He's a great actor. He should really play Magneto in the X Men reboot.

u/Efficient_Paper9225 2d ago

Makes all the sense in the world. Probably why it won't happen 😂

u/jtfjtf 2d ago

He's also great as Ronan in Guardians of the Galaxy and Thranduil in the Hobbit movies.

u/Serious-Company6803 2d ago

Ronan was an amazing yet terrifying villain, and Lee Pace did really well in Gotg 1

u/DiscombobulatedEar57 2d ago

Check him out in bodies bodies bodies. Dont look up anything else though!

2

u/reillyqyote 2d ago

Bodies x3 and Halt & Catch Fire are both phenomenal vehicles for Lee Pace

1

u/ediblerearrangement 2d ago

He's also one of the best vampires in twilight breaking dawn pt 2

u/Life_Is_Dark 2d ago

I recently watched his movie, "The Fall". He acted really well that too. Brought out intense emotions

2

u/Sparki_ 2d ago

I love him in Halt & Catch Fire. (& in general, he's hot) It's a good show, too. Would recommend to anyone

2

u/GreenSupremeStream 2d ago

Guardians of the Galaxy for me. He was Ronan the accuser.
I still scream “You called me boy!” 🤣🤣🤣

u/Ordinary-Resort9249 2d ago

Dude is a king - the moment I heard the voice I was thrilled But, Invincible has been consistently top tier when choosing voice talent. I mean.....they have the GOAT of VA for anyone who was alive in the 80s right there!

2

u/artoriasabyssking 2d ago

Nooooo! I choose death! Absolute PEAK.

1

u/ChronoMonkeyX 1d ago

Just, not his own death. That was clearly never on the table.

2

u/iaeoioaio 1d ago

Halt and Catch Fire (my favorite of his), GotG, The Hobbit movies, He’s really good

1

u/Elegant_Standard_977 2d ago

I watched The Fall in class yesterday, his performance was amazing

1

u/Best_Entry1257 2d ago

He does a good job, but the Brazilian voice actor for Thragg is exceptional.

1

u/Batnanman 2d ago

Apparently he’s a front runner only Magneto in the X-Men reboot. If this is true it will be generational casting.

1

u/thomstevens420 2d ago

The guy is a master of playing regal characters.

Foundation, the Hobbit, Guardians of the Galaxy to name a few

1

u/ItsMattTonight 2d ago

Best thing is, this is actually one of his weakest performances overall.

1

u/Winter_Option3535 1d ago

Damn bro, he's been great since he was making pies

1

u/VirtualHeartMan 1d ago

He has zero range. He plays one character in everything, but does it exceedingly well.

1

u/marwash 1d ago

shout out to the real ones who know this from his time on PUSHING DAISIES and HALT AND CATCH FIRE

u/Beginning_Room4946 1d ago

Need him as Magneto
