Let me be a dissenting voice. I don't want Whitewall to be cast by Mirmax, New Line, or the BBC. Why try to find a role for Orlando Bloom, Sean Connery or Hugh Jackman? Rarely to the Hollywood actors even resemble the historical figures. I have a clent that was portrayed by an exceptional Englsh actor in a film some years back. He did a fantastic job portraying somebody other than my client.

There is Google, but agreed.

However, it now occurs to me that the Wiki can link to pictures. If the person suggesting the actor provides a picture, in suitable role, that might help?

First Blackadder series, he was King of England.

And he was in "Robin Hood prince of thieves".

Big guy. Big beard (usually), big voice, HUGE personality.

Skimming through his film-ography, those were the ones I remember him in.

has a long list, and no doubt you watch different films to me.

Good pictures and summary here
