Peter O'Toole is also excellent in The Tudors. He said he wanted to play the Pope in the show, yet he found it a challenge to speak Italian and Latin. He did it, anyway.

Peter O'Toole has been in other historical English history movies Lion in the Winter where he plays Henry 11..King of England.
He also played Henry 11 in the movie Becket. Richard Burton played Saint Thomas Becket.
Both movies are from the 60's but I recommend them both.

I'll check those two movies out. Cromwell, starring Richard Harris, is also excellent.

Oliver Cromwell was nasty, although he started out with the intention of ridding England of the corruption and oppression of Charles the First's rule.

It's like here. You don't want a Taliban-like regime.

I watched the first episode of Season Four of The Tudors. There's a gang rape scene that was so brutal that I couldn't watch the rest of the episode. Henry VIII'S men gang raped a village woman after she tried to fight back.

I think I just need to get this from Netflix as I refuse to pay what U-verse wants for premium channels.
