My Robert Powell fan post, his work, why I love him, my favourite films, TV shows and roles

Hi guys, welcome back to Big Blog Theory, hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m going to be talking about Robert Powell. Now, I’ve already spoken about him on, this blog post about some of my favourite British actors and male sitcom stars of the seventies. As you all know, I love Robert Powell, he’s like my favourite actor. He’s in so many films and TV programmes I love, the more I see of him, the more impressed I am by him and the more I love him. So many great films, so many great shows. Running scared { 1972} Secrets[1971] Harlequin{1980} The Jesus of Nazareth{1977} The Thirty Nine Steps{1978} Asylum{1972} The Four Feathers{1978} The Italian Job{1969 and obviously Thriller. He’s just so amazing, such a marvellous actor. He was so handsome and so cute when he was young. He’s also in the Italian Job, I love The Italian Job, which I forget he’s in this. This is out of pure coincidence, because me, my brother, my mum and my dad are literally going to go to the cinema to see The Italian Job tomorrow, I’m super excited. Love The Italian Job, Michael Caine, Robert Powell and everyone else involved in the film are just amazing, fantastic cast.

I also really love his ghost stories that he told in 1986, they’re really great and very spooky and I always watch them with my lights turned off, very good. These five ghost stories, all about different things and he’s just sitting in his arm chair and telling these spine tingling stories and I just love them so much. He’s such a great storyteller, I could listen to him talk all day long. He could literally read the whole entire phone book and it would still be interesting.

I feel like Robert would have made a great doctor in Doctor Who. Especially in the early seventies, I could totally imagine him travelling in the Tardis through space and time.

I know that he was very famous for his portrayal of Jesus in the Jesus Of Nazareth, it was the most defining part in his career. I haven’t seen it yet, but I will check it out some time in the future. I’m making time for it.

This guy is such an amazing talent, I love him so much, he’s got so much charm and charisma and he’s got such an enchanting personality. If I could go back to any decade, I would pick the seventies. If you don’t count the racism, the strikes, the poverty and all that, I think it would be a great decade to be in. Great music, great films, Great TV, the people were different. I would have loved to have gone back in time and to have met Robert Powell, he just seems so lovely. I’m so proud to be a fan, I’m probably one of the only teens who even knows who he is which is so sad to me. I have yet to meet someone my age who loves him like I do.

I just love discovering these actors from this decade. I just love watching the stuff they’re in, discovering their work on screen. Robert Powell is just one of those discoveries that I made at the age of 17. I just started to really appreciate him. I’m still 17 so I don’t know what I’m talking about. 17, but I’ll be 18 next year. Yeah, I just really love watching him. It was like love at first sight even though I don’t really know him personally but I was just enthralled by him and his approach to acting and some people have said that he’s a very lovely guy, so that’s a bonus.

The detectives is a show that still makes me laugh and smile, I watch it whenever I’m feeling down. It just shows that Robert can also do comedy and not just serious acting, he’s so versatile. I have yet to discover some more stuff he’s featured in. This guy deserves his own post, because I’ve got so much to say about him. Discovering this amazing actor has just been a huge blessing and a huge joy for me.

I’ve talked about Asylum[1972] and what a great film it was. It takes place in this old mental asylum and it’s these patients who tell their stories and reveal how they got there in the first place. Robert Powell plays this doctor/ psychiatrist who goes in and starts to investigate what’s going on but realises he’s out of his depth. It’s another one of those hammer house, of horror films of the seventies and it’s just fantastic. Really loved that one, I keep on forgetting that he’s in it. It wasn’t until a little while ago when I watched an episode of Thriller that he was in that I realised I might have seen this guy’s face somewhere before. Amazing film, it’s one of those films where it’s all these stories rolled into one, I love those kinds of films. Three other of my favourite Hammer house of horror films are From Beyond the grave, Doctor Terror’s house of horrors and the Vault of horror. All these are great films of the genre. All really great, spooky and sinister and just so much fun. Me and my dad always put one of these films on at Halloween. We either watch this or we put on an episode of Thriller. They’re both horror, thriller related, both amazing.  But Asylum was truly something else. Anything with Geoffrey Bayldon and Robert Powell together is a winner for me.

I just think this guy is amazing, he’s got such a beautiful smile and I just adore him. He’s a very special talent, we won’t be seeing the likes of him anymore nowadays, unfortunately. His acting skills and charisma and charming personality will never be matched. One of my favourite actors for sure and he’ll remain that way. I love discovering this guy’s work and it’s an absolute joy to see him doing his thing. I would love to see more from him in the nearer future and if not, then you could always go back and watch his early work which is fine by me, I love his early work in the early seventies.

So that’s all I have time for for you guys today, thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day wherever you are right now. Stay tuned for more work on Big Blog Theory.  Next, I’ll be talking about some of my favourite actresses and female stars of the seventies, I’ll be giving a brief mention to all the actors and male sitcom stars that I haven’t had enough time to talk about. So stay tuned.

I couldn’t find any gifs of Robert Powell, so I chose this for now, Haha, enjoy.
