from the upcoming movie 'into the storm'

Dont think I would have recognised him at first glance, looks like he lost a lot of weight for the role.

Not sure why he lost weight for the role, Churchill was a fat mess most of the time.

+1... will be interesting to see what he can do with his voice also

Corholio

You sure thats him?, i keep looking at the pic and i would never ever think that was Brendan Gleeson.

Dirk_Diggler

Yeah but more importantly, you'd never think that was meant to be Churchill.

Galvasean

Hard to tell it's Gleeson alright.

Thats not Gleeson that looks like some actor from Casualty

here's a pic of a car from the movie. I did not think it was him either, but if you look at the eyes, I think it is, the source is from the IMBD page for 'Into the Storm'.

That Car looks like Churchill alright. No likeness to Brendan Gleeson though.

Lads are you looking at the same Pic as me? I can well tell that its BG, Sure he looks different but its def him.

Any unusally for me I didn't hear of this film till now. Its an odd cast choice for him to be sure but TBF he is an excelent actor! Is it a Biopic?

Savman

No way that's Gleeson. If it is I shall eat my hat.

Why don't you google the two names and I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever source confirms it.

This dosent look much like Gleeson either, but it is.

marti101

I know i tried the bbc website but couldnt get his name.Hes out of other things as well.

The tall guy in the earlier image is Clive Mantle who also appears in the film with Mr Gleeson but he is a lot taller. You will see when they are side by side in shots.

Cheers

Ooh. This should be good.

Looking over his IMDB page it seems like he hasn't been in a movie where he hasn't been a phenomenal actor!

paulwm

Clive Mantle - actually quite a good actor but he is in the film WITH Brendan Glesson - who plays Churchill. BG wasn't an obvious choice to play the part to my mind but he really does look quite like him. A shock to see him with all of his locks chopped off though.

Saw them together in Dorset whilst a scene was being shot.

I knew it was the chap from Casualty. Dr. Mike Barrett. Good to know I'm not going mental :-)

I just google imaged Gleeson and it turns out he was Hamish in Braveheart? That is amazing.

Roar

that's brendan gleeson alright..

The Black Oil

Has anyone seen this, then?

The Black Oil

Just watched this earlier. Thought it was perhaps a little weak at the start, but really found its feet and was rather good. Gleeson was excellent.

Incidentally, Albert Finney's incarnation as Churchill in The Gathering Storm is on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MTdu-eSbuo

lol at people who said it wasn't Gleeson in the picture when it clearly was. Seems like an upturned lip and a haircut can throw most people off...
