Default Cooler Than Cushing???

Just for fun.

Peter Cushing is surely the coolest actor to walk the earth.

He's the guy who always vanquishes histories greatest Vampire.

When he's fed up doing that he plays the creator of the second greatest horror creation - Baron Frankenstein.

He's played arguably the greatest sci-fi hero of them all in two films AND defeated probably the greatest sci-fi monster. TWICE!!!.

He made the role of fiction's greatest detective all his own on more than one occassion.

Finally, he's the only man who could call Darth Vader his bitch.

So come on,

IS THERE ANYONE COOLER THAN CUSHING?????

We await your nominations.

I'm sorry, but although Mr. Cushing is a legend he has one Kryptonite.

True Dem,there ain't much cooler.
Not even the great Lord Summerisle!

Even in Hammer's Dracula series.
Now,don't get me wrong,Sir C.Lee is the ultimate Dracula,but it was always Cushing who stole the show as the borderline psychotic Van Helsing.
He just didn't give a **** who got in his way!

In the Frankenstein series,it didn't matter what the creature looked like,it was always how dastardly and nasty a bastard the Baron was.
Once again,he stomped anyone who got in his way!

Govenor Tarkin was a descendant of the Baron and the Professor.
Once again he stomped Alderann!

The list is long and distinguishable,even in a mediocre movie the legendary Cushing made it far more interesting.

ALL HAIL THE BARON!

Has this been brought on by that pic I posted earlier?

The answer is no, he is without a shadow of doubt THE coolest actor ever!

Peter Cushing was a fantastic actor who will always be held in the highest regards by horror fans of a certain age (and hopefully in the future).I would have loved to have met him while he was still alive to tell him how much I enjoyed his film roles.He was indeed very cool.

Peter Cushing does not, and never has, worn woman's underwear!

Of course he did. It's a well know fact that he wore them and stockng/suspenders under his uniform on Star Wars, and he was also know on set as Camp Cushing. It's true!

Personally, I'd have thought that stockings and suspenders WERE woman's underwear!

But, what would I know about these things????
