The Master of D'Hara

Description

The fourth in my Sword of Truth series. Previous portraits: The Mother Confessor, The Seeker of Truth, and The Wizard of the First Order.

If Bruce Spence was the best casting on Legend of the Seeker, one of the worst had to be Craig Parker as Darken Rahl. He didn't look the part, didn't feel the part. All I ever saw was Haldir with brown hair. It also didn't help that they fudged nearly the entire arc with the Boxes of Orden, which I've included here in my own fashion.

So based on the novel's description of Rahl - blond-haired with piercing blue eyes, and the image of physical perfection - eventually Mr. Pitt, one of my favorite working actors, took up the role in my mind. And if he did play the part, it'd be about as much playing against type for him as Henry Fonda in Once Upon A Time in the West.

This one took longer than the others in part because Pitt himself was assembled from four different pictures, but thankfully a headshot from the movie Troy did most of the work so far as getting the "Rahl look".
