Today we take a long, lingering look at the historical flicks under Irish actor Stephen Rea’s belt.
The Company of Wolves (1984)
The Doctor and the Devils (1985)
Princess Caraboo (1994)
Interview With the Vampire (1994)
Michael Collins (1996)
The Musketeer (2001)
Copenhagen (2002)
River Queen (2005)
Dickensian (2015)
War and Peace (2016)
What’s your favorite historical costume movie or TV role of Stephen Rea’s?
Great actor – but everything about that horrible coat they dreamed up for him to wear in War & Peace sticks in my craw! (Though, miraculously, the jewelled neck badge they put with it is perfectly appropriate – the Order of St Anne.)
I think that’s Micha Bergese in the top picture, not Stephen Rea.
You are spot one dear Shellieeyre. It’s NOT Stephen Rea.

I adore S.R. and his melancholy, monkish face. He needs to make more historicals; he’s always looked a bit out of time.
