Line 1: {{creator}} [[File:brianblessed.jpg\|link=Blackadder\|~~right~~frame]] <big>'''''CHISWICK! FRESH HORSES!!'''''</big> Line 11: To protect your eyes, try [[Brian Blessed\|this page]] instead. Perhaps best known in America as Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen in the ''[[Flash Gordon]]'' movie ("GORDON'S ALIVE?!" "DIIIIIIIIIVVEEEEE!!"), he is widely regarded as one of the [[Large Ham\|Largest Hams]] in existence. However, he is by nature a stage actor, and his hamming is by design, not by ineptitude or accident. As he has proven on (very) occasional films, he is actually capable of delivering a subtle and understated performance; he just usually doesn't bother (and is probably aware of why people hire him). His crowning moment of hamness is the ''[[~~Blake's Seven\|~~Blake's 7]]'' episode "Cygnus Alpha" in which just about every line he speaks could be replaced with "Did somebody order a [[Large Ham]]?". He keeps in shape by climbing up large mountains. About the only thing on Earth larger than BRIAN BLESSED is Mount Everest, which he has attempted to scale three times without quite reaching the summit each time. No doubt due to his hamminess causing an avalanche to send him tumbling down. He served up not one, but '''two''' large portions in ''[[Space: 1999]]''; the first as Dr. Cabot Rowland in first season episode "Death's Other Dominion", the second as Maya's father Mentor in second season opener "The Metamorph". In real life his favorite food is cows, which he eats whole and in one gulp. Line 35: '''''HE'S ALSO APPEARED IN [[Disney\|DISNEY]]'s ANIMATED ADAPTATION OF ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)\|TARZAN]]'' AS CLAYTON, AND WENT ON TO REPEAT THE SAME ROLE IN ''[[Kingdom Hearts (video game)\|KINGDOM HEARTS]]''. HIS PERFORMANCE WAS STILL QUITE HAMLIKE. HE ALSO PROVIDED THE "TARZAN YELL" FOR THE FILM. HIS VOICE PERFORMANCE OF BOSS NASS (THE GUNGAN KING) IN ''[[Star Wars\|STAR WARS]]: [[The Phantom Menace\|THE PHANTOM MENACE]]'' WAS EQUALLY OVER THE TOP AND POSSIBLY THE MOST FUN PERFORMANCE IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE. ADDITIONALLY, HE NARRATED ''[[Viking: Battle for Asgard\|VIKING: BATTLE FOR ASGARD]]'' IN WHICH HIS NARRATION STOLE THE SHOW AND CATAPULTED SAID GAME INTO THE HALLS OF AWESOME!''''' '''''HE ALSO APPEARED IN ORIGINAL SERIES ''[[Doctor Who\|DOCTOR WHO]]'': ([[Doctor Who/Recap/S23 E2/E02 Mindwarp\|"TRIAL OF A TIME LORD: MINDWARP"]]) AND UTTERED THE [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1k-pvCZ2Kw IMMORTAL LINE]: "TODAY PRUDENCE SHALL BE OUR WATCHWORD. TOMORROW WE SHALL SOAK THE LAND IN BLOOD!" HAMTASTIC! HE THEN ENDED UP EITHER MARRYING PERI OR KILLING HER, DEPENDING ON WHICH OF THE [[Unreliable Narrator\|UNRELIABLE NARRATORS]] YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE.''''' '''''HE HAD NO LINES IN THE ALMOST-DIALOGUE-FREE SHORT FILM ''EXAM CONDITIONS'', AND STILL MANAGED TO BE THE LOUDEST PERSON IN THE FILM.''''' Line 67: '''''<big> AS SUCH, HE WAS CAST AS ODIN IN ''[[Thor (film)\|THOR]]'', BUT THEN [[Anthony Hopkins\|ANTHONY HOPKINS]] [[What Could Have Been\|GOT THE PART INSTEAD]].</big>''''' <big>'''''~~<big>~~ AFTER A CAMPAIGN BY FANS, TOM TOM HAVE AGREED TO OPEN NEGOTIATIONS WITH HIM TO RECORD A VOICE TRACK FOR THEIR SATNAV APPLIANCES IF THEY REACH 25,000 MEMBERS ON [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.~~briansatnav~~archive.~~com~~org/web/20210417160559/https://oziclean.co.uk/ THEIR FACEBOOK GROUP].'''''{{Dead link}}''''' A DEMO VIDEO STARRING BRIAN HIMSELF CAN BE FOUND [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JpKuYbJQK4 HERE] ON [[YouTube]]! ~~</big>~~'''''</big><ref>[[Futurama\|GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!]] I'VE DONE GONE OFF AND BUGGERED YOUR MINDS AGAIN!!!!</ref> '''''<big> [[Skyward Scream\|HOPKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!!!]]</big>''''' Line 73: <small> ...we told you.
