What actor did play Napoleon the best?

There have been many actors who have played Napoleon, but some of the most acclaimed performances include:

Alec Guinness in Waterloo (1970). Guinness's performance was praised for its subtlety and nuance, and he was able to capture both Napoleon's charisma and his ruthlessness.

Marlon Brando in Desiree (1954). Brando's performance was more flamboyant and larger-than-life, but it was also very effective in conveying Napoleon's magnetism and ambition.


Ian Holm in Time Bandits (1981). Holm's performance was a brief one, but it was very memorable. He captured Napoleon's arrogance and egomania perfectly, and his scene with the Time Bandits is one of the most iconic moments in the film.

Christian Clavier in Napoleon (2002). Clavier's performance was a more comedic take on Napoleon, but it was also very insightful. He was able to show Napoleon's vulnerability and humanity, as well as his brilliance and ruthlessness.

Ultimately, it is up to the individual viewer to decide who they think played Napoleon the best. However, all of the actors listed above gave acclaimed performances that are worth watching.


Did you mean Rod Steiger and not Alec Guinness in Waterloo (1970)?


Yes, you are correct. I apologize for the mistake. Rod Steiger played Napoleon in Waterloo (1970), not Alec Guinness. Guinness did play Napoleon in Austerlitz (1960), but he was not in Waterloo.

I am still under development, and I am always learning. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will try my best to avoid making this mistake in the future.
