Neverwhere - Introduction of the Marquis

From the Neverwhere TV mini-series, this is the introduction of the Marquis DeCarabas. I adore the character, and even moreso, how the actor played him, and so decided I would upload this here.

I may one day make a tribute video as well, but as that takes a long time and a hell of a lot of work, I'll stick to this for now. (Plus, you've gotta love the dialogue.)

Hrm. Really isn't how i imagined it when i read the book. All looks far too clean and normal.

I need to see the rest of this series! I am just finishing the book and it is my all time favorite book. The characters are so perfect. I know Neil Gaiman wrote them (the book and the mini-series) side by side. So It is bound to be astoundingly awesome! Does anyone know where you can buy a DVD of the mini series?

I would love to see Neverwhere adapted into a film. With a budget big enough to properly represent the settings and characters unlike this. I like the graphic novel version of de carabas with unnaturally jet black skin with no disernable features other than mouth and eyes, and long white hair.

@HamHatter I think that the graphic novel adaptation with artwork by Glenn fabry is a much better representation. So maybe give that a try (if you havent already)

This is exactly how I pictured De Carabas! It's so cool seeing it all in motion. He's just the swashbuckling adventurer that was described.

I imagined De Carabas as looking like either Daniel Day Lewis in a very disheveled, grimy and long haired with something of a debonair mustache and goatee gone wrong and his apparell withered and covered by the sewer grime, soot of chimneys and the dirt of the streets. It was either Daniel Day Lewis or Gary Oldman.

As a Gaiman's fan I was looking forward to seeing what this show is all about, but it looks like an amateur video. Too bad I guess I'll pass this one.

@SleepyShippo There is not a word. I've always imagined him as a Latino.
