    Default Greatest Swashbucker of All Time?

    Ok what actor do you think was the greatest swashbucker ever? To me only one name comes to mind. And that name would be Errol Flynn. Can there be any doubt?

    russle crowe , it's not really the actoer himself, i just like the roles he plays, anyone who had played in gladiator deserves my respect. same goes to the guy who played commodus, he's a really good actor.

    Errol Flynn. Captain Blood is one of my favorite movies of all time, even though I always forget about it.

    Oh, and Russell (how the hell do you spell that?) Crowe ain't a swashbuckler. At all.
