This man takes his job so seriously. He literally aged himself by 30 years for the prequel trilogy. What a method actor.

Episode 3 was easily the best of the prequels.

Requirements for this role :

Friendly reminder that the voice actor for jar jar is still struggling from depression. I have spoken.

It is hard to believe that such a malignant, malevolent, evil, demonic S.O.B. is played by such a sweet and wonderful gentleman. That is what a great actor is able to do.

Mace got thrown out the WINDU!!!!!!!

Yes, and HE DIED ON THE SECOND DEATH STAR and NEVER CAME BACK

I'm always amazed that all this came from George lucas's imagination.

A masterful actor. Not a single fault.

So I threw the senate at him. The whole senate!!

"He wasn´t Anakins natural father, but a father figure."

I'm convinced Ian understands his character more than George Lucas.

Da fool Powah of thea daahk saieed!

One of the best villains of all time.

Crazy how such a sweet guy so perfectly plays the most evil man in cinema

I wonder how often people that run into Ian ask him to say “dewit!”

Episode III was the best of the prequels and Ian brought so much into the role.

The Senate himself.

My fav character in the whole saga. When I was a kid, everyone wanted to be Han Solo, Luke or even Vader. But not me. I wanted to throw Force lightning to everyone 😂 Seriously

Ian McDiarmid: So how should I play this Darth Sidious?
