I read an article a good while back about a very well-known actor who was so impressed with a particular role in a move that he offered to do it for free. Now, as I recall, they did pay him a nice amount, but nowhere NEAR his normal fee. So, here's the question...If you were a famous actor, what role in what movie would you do for free, just because it would be so good? You can even make up a movie and your roll, or take a favorite book and character to be made into the movie. Or it could be a television series.
I think I'd like to play Alinor, if Roberta Gellis' "Roslynd" series were to be made into either a movie or a television series. Set in England at the end of King Richard's reign, and the accession to the thrown of King John, these books are historically well-done. Alinor is the main character of the first book, a matriarch come to the position very young, but bold and smart. She manages to remain independent in a time when that was VERY rare, although not unheard of. Of course, I'd have to turn the clock back on myself a good many years, but BOY would I have fun with that!
