I for one enjoyed the TV series. I think Adrian Paul did a great job as Duncan MacLeod. He still teaches workshops on cinematic swordplay.

 

I thought he did a good job with the lines he was given. But the character was too moody for my tastes. 

 

I'd expect an immortal to be good at reading people, manipulating situations, and gliding through bureaucratic nonsense: he's seen it all a million times and knows what most people are likely to think and how they'll react before they themselves do.

Duncan was pretty good at reading people. He usually (at least in the modern day) knew who could and who couldn't be trusted. That sometimes led him into conflict with Richie, who was quick to trust total strangers.

I dunno, I'm immortal and I'm still awful at all of those things.

When's the last time some wacko came by to chop your head off?

Are you by chance confusing "immortal" with "immoral"?

It's not like they're mutually exclusive.

They are, actually.

Henry could also play Mark Miller aka Hyperion. 

I've read speculation about him being cast for Captain Britain, but don't give them much weight. If the MCU is going to poach him, I'd like to see him as Hercules. That way, no need for facial-hair-erasing CGI (or shirts)!
