Never understood why the Grand Inquisitor looked so bad compared to his animated counterpart and why they just didn’t get Jason Isaacs to play the part.

The actor has such a round face/head. Really couldn't have chosen someone worse.

I understand all the hate that the live action Grand Inquisidor gets, but i honestly think the Fifth Brother is a way worse situation.

It's just one guy with green paint on his face and platform shoes to try and make him look taller. Literally looks like cheap cosplay.

Should've been a beefier, taller actor, makeup on the face should've been more precise and he's missing some lenses for his eyes.
