If I remember correctly in the book, as describe by Princess Irulan there are strong resemblances between The Emperor with Duke Leto. I think Benicio Del toro does looks like a meaner version of Oscar Isaac. So it will be a good choice in my opinion for BDT to be The Emperor.
Edit: Thanks guys... this is just my opinion .. Other than BDT, I do think Jake gyllenhaal, Michael fassbender can make a good Padishah Emperor too.. Again... This is only my opinion, If you guys have any other dreamcast I respect that.
For some reason I’m not having any luck with this on Google. But I’m hoping to get ahold of a gif from the Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas movie early on where Benicio Del Toro points a gun at Johnny Depp & he holds up a flyswatter in retaliation.
I rewatched Underworld evolution the other night and the wolf man very recently and I’m wondering who wins?
Round 1- Both start 50 feet apart (running on all fours start) movie feats included.
Round 2- both start 50 feet apart, both are blood lusted.
More of a face palm moment. I don't really know why it took me so long to realize these are different people, with obviously different careers. . . I thought the actor Benicio had moved into directing. Or dabbled.
Me enjoying monster movie as I do, I recently rewatched the remake of the Wolfman by the same name and which Benicio is an actor. I thought he also directed the Shape of Water and was going for a 'monster movie' take on each of the original monsters. Dracula and Frankenstein being left, and curious I looked it up to see if this was the case.
Imagine my puzzlement to realize looking up Guillermo did NOT bring up Benicio's profile. Dur. Dur.
I am annoyed, but also disappointed.
I know everyone likes him, but who is he and what does he do?

Puerto Rican actor Benicio del Toro played Sanchez's knife-wielding enforcer Dario in Licence To Kill. (Del Toro was twenty-one when he performed the role, making him probably the youngest villain in the 007 series.) Dario is extremely sadistic and cruel, and doesn't flinch at carrying out Sanchez's brutal orders, which include cutting out a man's heart with his flick knife, feeding Felix Leiter to a shark, and murdering (and possibly raping) Leiter's wife. Dario comes to an end befitting such a monster when he is fed feet first into an industrial grinder.
Del Toro made his film debut as Duke the Dog-Faced Boy in 1988's Big Top Peewee, and appeared in Licence To Kill the following year. He played supporting roles in films like The Indian Runner, Fearless (with Jeff Bridges), and Swimming With Sharks (with Kevin Spacey) before delivering his breakout performance in 1995's The Usual Suspects. His star on the rise, del Toro went on to major roles in The Funeral (with Christopher Walken), The Fan (with Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes), and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (with Johnny Depp). In 2000 he won universal acclaim and an Academy Award for his performance as Javier Rodriguez in Traffic.
Rarely a leading man but always a strong support player, del Toro continued to garner praise for his roles in The Way of the Gun, The Hunted, 21 Grams, and Sin City. He starred opposite Halle Berry in Things We Lost in the Fire, and played the titular murderous revolutionary in 2008's Che. In 2010 he starred opposite Anthony Hopkins in a poorly received remake of The Wolfman. In 2015 he was showered with accolades for his work in Sicario. As for blockbusters, whole new audiences may recognize him as the Collector in Guardians of the Galaxy and DJ in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Benicio is the Spanish version of Benny, and toro is Spanish for bull. Benicio del Toro has the same name as the Chicago Bulls' mascot Benny the Bull
