Captain Hammer in Dr. Horrible, in a manner of speaking?
I agree - Mal takes 15 times as much of a beating as he should be able to, just like Harry, but that's where the resemblance ends for me. His looks aren't angular enough and I don't think he could pull off the super-rages Harry gets into in, say, the Hellfire days.
I agree that he doesnt fit the look, and I dont know about the Hellfire Rages, but I will say that in a recentish episode of Castle, when his daughter was kidnapped, he definitely proved he can do frightening dark. Put a beard on him and I could easily get behind him as a choice for Michael.
Me too, I've been unable to see anyone else in this role since I heard this one.
Once I got past him being an uptight brit instead of the black dude from the Series, Ive had him stuck as Clancy Brown. Liam Neeson is formidable enough, despite his shockingly advanced age (currently 62!) but he always strikes me as too reasonable for Morgan. Ive never seen him as the spittle spraying fanatic that Morgan would need to be much of the time.
