Hey! It's that Guy! Part II.

Ok, now that I've gone through "The Storyteller: Greek Myths", I can officially say those Greeks were a depressing lot. And they had several Guys of the "Hey! It's That" persuasion. Of course, everyone appeared in at least one Poirot episode or some other Mystery! series, although there were a lot fewer HITGs than there were in the other The Storyteller series.

Anyways, here we go.

Of course, Michael Gambon played The Storyteller. In addition to playing Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potters 3, 4, and 5, he played Editor Paley in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Baltus Van Tassel in Sleepy Hollow, and Inspector Jules Maigret on the Mystery! production of "Maigret". Although, I think Michael Gambon has now graduated beyond HITG status.

Others:
Lindsay Duncan played Medea (Aegeus' wife). She also played the voice of TC-14 in Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace, and Lady Markby in An Ideal Husband.

Robert Flemyng played Aegeus. Also played Wing Commander Willoughby in Battle of Britain and Paul Duval in Funny Face, staring Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn.

Derek Jacobi played Daedalus. He is well past HITG status, but he also played Alexander Corvinus in Underworld: Evolution, Senator Gracchus in Gladiator, Brother Cadfael in the Mystery! series "Cadfael", Claudius in Kenneth Branagh's production of Hamlet, the Chorus in Kenneth Branagh's production of Henry V, the voice of Nicodemus in The Secret of NIMH, and a whole bunch of other stuff, mainly Shakespearean.

Art Malik played Orpheus. Also played Salim Abu Aziz (the chief bad guy) in True Lies.

Pat Roach played Atlas. Also played a Gestapo in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, General Kael in Willow, Chief Guard in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Giant Sherpa/1st Mechanic (the one who beats up Indy and gets chopped up by the propeller) in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Hephaestus in Clash of the Titans.

Robert Stephens played Hades. Any Belland worth his salt can readily quote him (and probably regularly does) when he sees a candle by passing his finger back and forth through the flame and saying "And as for the boy. What I won't do to that boy." I am of course referring to Abner Brown/Reverend Bottledale from The Box of Delights. He also had parts in Empire of the Sun and Kenneth Branagh's Henry V.

John Wood played Minos. Also played Lord Caversham in An Ideal Husband, Tom Fairchild (Sabrina's father) in the 1995 version of Sabrina with Harrison Ford, and appeared in an episode of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
