8 Awesome Instances of Actors Performing Work That's Beneath Them

7. Peter O'Toole Really, Really Wants the Spice Girls

Any film lover should know the name of Peter O'Toole. He's given some of the greatest cinematic performances of all time, been Oscar nominated eight times, was best friends with the likes of Richard Harris and Peter Finch, and might be the most entertaining storyteller in an interview ever (hit the 3:00 minute-mark). Matched with brilliance, class, and devotion to the work at hand, you're likely never to see Peter O'Toole recite the lyrics to a Spice Girls song. Except for that time in which he did. Which, I can't for the life of me know why he did. But he did. And the world just got a little brighter because of it. http://youtu.be/FaxjpQARxWo And just because I, personally, can't get enough of Mr. O'Toole, here's a brilliant advertisement with his lead.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
