Peter Dougan Capaldi (born April 14, 1958) is a Scottish actor, writer and director. He portrayed the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who and Malcolm Tucker the spin doctor in The Thick of It, for which he has received four British Academy Television Award nominations, winning Best Male Comedy Performance in 2010. When he reprised the role in In the Loop, Capaldi was honoured with several film critic award nominations for Best Supporting Actor. In 2012, Capaldi wrote (with Tony Roche), directed and performed in The Cricklewood Greats, an affectionate spoof documentary about a fictitious film studio, which tracks real developments and trends throughout the history of British cinema. Film roles include Oldsen in Local Hero, Angus Flint in Ken Russell's The Lair of the White Worm, and Mr Curry in Paddington and its sequel, Paddington 2. As a director, Capaldi won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film and the BAFTA Award for Best Short Film for his short film Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life. He went on to write and direct the drama film Strictly Sinatra and helmed two series of sitcom Getting On.
So it's been a long time since I heard the Duffer Brothers are going to be remaking the Death Note series in Live Action. Which got me excited but also nervous at the same time since the movie got worse in the US and shows disrespect to the anime. And I hope to God that the Netflix Series of Death Note gets better than the movie, and not to fall for that same mistake again. Although by any means, I'm not going to recast the Asians, I would instead recast the US version. Something better than the movie, and even more better than the Duffer Brothers. It's something like how Light Yagami was much more of a loner in a school and felt so dull, that even later before the notebook "Death Note" came along falling out of the sky, he uses it to kill someone for the crimes they have committed after finding out that it was real and uses it as a revenge or justice to become the new God. And I want this series to build up as a climax, a rising action, and a moral of this story. So with that being said, let's recast Death Note.
