Personal Quote:
[on his role as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe (1987)] It's one of my favorite parts. I played him because my son was four years old and walked around with a sword yelling "I have the power!". And he loved, loved, loved Skeletor. I didn't even blink when I was offered the role. I couldn't wait to play him. See more »Trivia:
He has two roles in common with Anthony Hopkins, who is only one day his senior: (1) Langella played Don Diego de la Vega / Zorro in The Mark of Zorro (1974) while Hopkins played him in The Mask of Zorro (1998) and (2) Hopkins played U.S. President Richard Nixon in Nixon (1995) while Langella played him in Frost/Nixon (2008). Both actors also appeared in adaptations of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "... See more »Trademark:
