You know, how Canute the IV of Denmark was known as "the Holy" and Pippin was known as the Hunchback, and Charles Martel as The Hammer and Vlad the III was the Impaler. And I dont think you should give these to actors who stand a good chance of getting other awards, like Oscars, Globeys, Kennedy's, etc. It could be done with a presidential, "I hereby declare ye to be known and referred to in all commercial and public environments as_____".

Watching him act alone is like watching toast being made - when you add other stuff it makes it taste better Are we talking about the seemingly meager guy that played Guru Tugginmypudha in the LOVE GURU - for that alone they should ask for his Oscar back and his knighthood along with the tract of land that come with it. Being knighted by the Queen for what you have done is cool but when you provide nothing for the privilege. Ben KINGSley need remember only a King can make a King all others are servants or enemies. Finally in retrospect perhaps he is a good actor after all but until he does something for others no one gives a flying frackin leap if he is a knight of the kingdom or not - pompous and pretentious do not communicate well to the general public To the common man Beenie could not carry Sir Anthony Hopkins water

He got the role for Gandhi because he was brown.

I think precisely because he played that peace-loving bulimic Gandhi and a Jew-loving Jew(!) in SCHINDLER'S LIST, he'll be one of the first to go... especially if the French have their say. I, on the other hand, would only off him for his pomposity. ; ) I must also give you credit for your argument about royalty, as the Kennedys are often referenced as the American equivalent, and while they never made it to the wall, well...

So the question is, how many bullet holes would Sir Ben get when the revolution comes. Considering some of his historical roles (Gandhi, Schindler's List) my guess is, not many.

She may have compensated for that by naming her son Krishna, which some traditions within Krishnaism consider to be the supreme being. Ben’s father was a doctor, regarded as supreme being in many cultures. The stories of Krishna portray him in various roles: a god-child, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero and the Supreme Being. Ben’s acting roles have ranged from gurus of the first order to crooks of the same. Could Ben still, after all these years, be looking for self-identity and respect? -Miriam Reiss Wikipedia claims that Kingsley’s mother, born out of wedlock, was “loath to speak of her background.” Seems she was the daughter of an English East London garment worker mother and a father who was believed by the family to have been a Russian or German Jew.

I love Hopkins, even if he did subject us to FREEJACK. I missed Gibson's skit. Did he play up his hilarious anti-semitism, SugarTits? I'd go along with the Colonel concept but does that mean our first honoree is the KFC spokesman/corpse? Joshua: Thanks for backing me up. I love Hopkins, even if he did subject us to FREEJACK.

Good call on Hopkins too. I'd have no problem calling him Sir Tony if he was cool with that. As for actors on this side of the pond, I've always liked the movie 'Inherit The Wind'. So, let's just make them all honorary Colonels. Speaking of Colonels, did you Mel Gibson's skit on Jimmy Kimmel's show after the Oscars?
