Visual evidence…

Lorna Doone (1990) with Polly Walker. I haven’t seen it, but now that I know he’s in it, it’s on my list.

The Return of the Native (1994) with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Secret, repressed love!

Gosford Park (2001). He’s a valet with a lurking bad side who is tempted by Kelly Macdonald’s maid character.

King Arthur (2004) with Keira Knightley (ugh) and Ioan Gruffud (yum). Clive plays Arthur as a Roman knight.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). Clive plays Sir Walter Raleigh, torn between Queen Elizabeth and Bess Throckmorton.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age: Clive is rough, tumble, and manly, and saves England from the Spanish Armada while he’s at it!

Last Knights (2015): Came out in April, but you probably had no idea because it’s gotten terrible reviews.
Do you have a favorite Clive Owen historical costume movie?
I’ll have to go with King Arthur, as I haven’t seen any of the others. When I was in the business, I interviewed Klaus Kinski, Max von Sydow, Kurt Russell, Wings Hauser, George Segal, and Rod Steiger, but more often I got the producers, Like Richard Zanuck and David Brown, or George Miller. If I were still doing it, I’d definitely want to sit down with Owen, Rutger Hauer, and a few others.
Sorry, you said something? I’ve not ogled him in too many of these. Must hunt them down.

Ohhh CLIVE is my fav! It is hard to choose- maybe his Sir Walter Ralegh is my fav.
