You are the one who is posting nonsese, cinemaadicction. Lets see, basically, any talented actor could play a part in a historical movie, but it depends on which actor , which part and which movie we are talking about. Its a too generic question to anwser serioulsy.

Ya the arthur plot has been done many times, my personal fav is Excalibur that was made in the 80's, anyway most of the new once like Troy, Alexander(only been done once that I know of), and Gladiator, Braveheart, kingdom Of Heaven aint movies that the plot has been overdone, infact I cajnt recall any other movies about William wallace, or one about Saladin and the fight around Jerusalem, or the only one that I've seen with Emporer Commodeus is the Fall Of the Roman empire, a few about Troy but mostly all sucked, the new one is by far the best, andAlexander as I said above has only been done once, if not once then I'm pretty sure the other once sucked

Well they could have stayed true to the mythology, but even then I think the movie would have sucked ass.

Gladiator's opening sequence is very good

Well I don't mind that they changed something....since it is in no way Historically accurate anyways...

And I like Odysseus: "War is young men dying and old men talking" great.....

Maybe there shouldn`t be well-established actors in such films....

well as somebody said before, acturly almust all actors could play a historical figure, maybe not some hotshot like William Wallace, but still some historical person, like some wise mathematichian or some dude that inveted stuff or maybe used 100% of his time writing poetry, so in a way all could play historical figures

Why if they were making a movie about Napoleone and the wars he waged.
Who would be better in his role, who would show better what a man Napoleone was ? ( I've posted this question because some said that depends on the time and subject of the action in these movies)

Napoleon, well there already is a movie about him, its acturly a fantastic mini series, I saw infact just the other day, I bought the DVD, it runs for 6 hours, and was made in 2002, and it ranks as the most expansive European movie ever, its very good I suggest you watch it, John Malchowich plays in it, along with that guy Garrad Depature, or something like that, but the guy that plays Napoleon is called Christian Clavier, anyway look here, I'd give this movie a 8.7 stars out of 10, its very good. though one thing would have been awesome it's if the man himself Stanley Kubrick would have made this movie, i got the scrip for it somewere on my pc, havint read it though, I plan to very soon, I also still need to see the documentry about Stanley Kubrick I think they disscuss somes tuff about why it was never mande or soemthing, would have been awesome.

Russel Crowe, hands down.
Orlando Bloom, however does nothing but period costume pieces, and that man does have acting potential.
