I have been watching the 1972 BBC series of War and Peace lately, and it struck me that Frank Middlemass (who plays General Kutuzov) would have been the perfect actor to portray Belmok (see Eye of Darkness and otherwhere on this blog). I must admit that it was the dead white eye that first suggested it to me (which is only a special effect contact lens) but then his acting, so expressive of both authority and amiabilty, confirmed me in my assessment. Middlemass also played the unpleasant father Sir Clive Chiddingfield in "Murder at Moorstones Manor" in the series Ripping Yarns.
