Who Played Blackbeard The Pirate The Best? Shiver Me Timbers!

My personal pick is the first one Robert Newton. He did more than play Long John Silver in two movies. Also I just couldn't resist that picture of Peter Ustinov as Blackbeard reaching for the purse in "BlackBeard's Ghost" (1968).

I think the title would read better as, "Shiver Me Timbers! Who Played Blackbeard The Pirate The Best?"

my vote...ian mcshane...

DG, IMDb Polls' titles follows AP Style (Title Capitalization). You can see the proper format for your list's title from here - http://titlecapitalization.com/ Just copy-paste the title here. You'll see - Shiver Me Timbers! Who Played Blackbeard the Pirate the Best? Please change your list's title to the above format. ------------------------------------ Will not you include the "Blackbeard" from POTC franchise? Here is the image: Ian McShane as Blackbeard in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides'.

It is changed. And I did include Ian McShane. He is number 2. I just liked him pointing the sword better. It is more dramatic and it is action picture with not to much blurred action in it. It is posed action.

Hey granger, don't forget (for future) to put "suggestion" in front of your title. FYC: Charles Mesure - Once Upon a Time

Okey, I forgot it this time. Charles mesure added.

Also, the poll takers probably want to discuss the list, not discus it. :)

Here's a pic of Blackbeard from the Japanese animated show One Piece - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388629/mediaviewer/rm3846580992

There's a better picture of Charles Mesure up on the OUAT page.

I only saw Ustinov but I would be interested in seeing John Malkovich's portrayal.
