(i’ll be real i just saw your blog name and almost had a heart attack thinking he had a tumblr)
INDEED!! If ever someone could elevate any project they're in, it's him! The talent, the looks, the voice!
(Sorry for the shock, lol. Nope, not the man himself, just a fellow fan. Tbh, I was surprised the url wasn't taken...)
Yesssss!!! His turn as Scroop is next level! He may not be in many scenes, but it's worth seeing just for him. I swear he's somehow made his voice even deeper and raspier in that... 🔥🔥
Rochefort - Christopher Lee
The Three Musketeers 1973, The Four Musketeers 1974, The Return of the Musketeers 1989
Christopher Lee may not have been the most book faithful depiction, but he did provide a landmark performance. It is because of his depiction that all the other Rochefort's wear eye patches. He has few lines, but he delivers them with a quiet authority and implied menace. His costumes are rich and full, his moustache elegant, and his bearing threatening. He acts as a kind of straightman in this sometimes comical film, but the gravitas he brings still manages to live up to the camp. He also has to fight a duel with a dark lantern in the first movie, and on ice in the second!
Rochefort - Michael Wincott
The Three Musketeers 1993
Is he book accurate? No. But he does look like those historically-accurate mugs with the men's faces on them. And frankly he is hot. Agonisingly so even. So insanely hot and so well-acted that I forgive them for putting the Rochefort-was-a-Musketeer backstory in solely for the drama it generated and allowing Wincott to blink his big beautiful brown eyes which you will notice are slightly wet (DEPTH!!). I love that he's still beefing with a teenager. I love that he hates his job so much he wants to eat dirt about it. I love his voice. I love that something gay clearly happened between him and Athos in the past and he's not entirely over it. I love his outfits. I love his hair. I love that he barely interacts with Milady so we don't have to experience shoehorned Milady-Rochefort romance. I love him.

"Bold words. I look forward to ramming them down your throat."
On a personal note, I watched Nope finally over the weekend, not realizing it featured Michael Wincott, and was reminded of the crush I used to have on him. I skimmed through his movies, seeking out a character that might work for a fanfic, but in retrospect…the answer was obvious. And if you’re wondering “Why?”…It’s the voice. Go listen to his fucking voice. It’s ridiculously sexy and I’m weak. Also, I blame @lucy-sky , not because this is actually her fault, but because she’s the only one I know of who also watched Nope, and I’ve decided she lead me to watch it myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
