actors: Albert Finney as $crooge

[M.J. Prior]

Hi y'all !

> yet i would love to see any veteran actor take on the role of scrooge mcduck.

For me, that would be Albert Finney in the role of Daddy Warbucks in "Annie" 
(1982). I know that this movie is based on the original "Little Orphan Annie"-
comics, which I've never seen. The resemblance of the two characters is 
striking. Both $crooge and Warbucks are grumpy old men, whose hearts get 
softened after awhile. Both started their career as a cabin boy on a ship to 
America. Both have an close friendship with one of the two presidents 
Roosevelt. Both possess a fabulous fortune, but no one to share it with.

In 1970, Albert Finney played the other Scrooge, Ebenezer, which may have 
been the reason why they asked him to play Daddy Warbucks.
