Paul Ward (White Banners) - OH DAMN AND BLOODY AND BUGGER AND BLAST!!! HE DOESNT KNOW WHATS GOING ONNNN!!!! HES OVERHWLEMED!!! HE JUST LIKES TO DO STUPID SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

Erique Claudin (Phantom of the Opera) - My favorite Phantom! Does it differ wildly from the book? Yes. Do I care? NO! Claudin starts the movie by BREAKING YOUR HEART IN TWO and then after the first act he gets to lean into the creep factor by murdering people who get in the way of him helping his daughter achieve her opera goals. While the father/daughter story was cut from the final film, you can 100% see it in Claude Rains' wonderful performance that this is a man so filled with regret at leaving his infant daughter 20 years ago, that he is willing to do anything to help her succeed…even if she doesn't know that he's the one helping her.

This is round three for The King of the Claudes tournament and other matchups can be found here!

This movie is gorgeous and the storytelling is a masterpiece! I don't care what anyone says, this is my favorite adaptation of Phantom and Claude sells it perfectly. He's excellent at toeing the line between a masked mad man and a caring individual and I will be forever fuming about how the father/daughter relationship wasn't official. To me, it will be! He's just the right amount of soft fondness and I was squealing because of how adorable he is when he stammers.

Dr. Jaquith (Now Voyager) - He's wise. He's kind. He listens to women without dismissing them as hysterical. He takes no shit from old women with too much money and no fucking heart. He is one of my favorites!

Dr. Jaquith

Not even kidding you guys, he could fix me. I'm being so real right now. Bette Davis herself said that Charlotte would go on to marry Dr. Jaquith and keep doing their own thing in the future!

The fact that he finished his scenes for this and literally the next day, he went on to film for Casablanca. Man's is dedicated.

Haym Salomon (Sons of Liberty) - When I saw him in breeches, I screeched. Love me a big brown eyed man. When you go to the 'character actor' article on Wikipedia, you get to see him! :)
