What do you mean when you consider the actors cast in Branagh's Hamlet "Incompetent?" It seems to me that Stacey is the type of Shakespeare fan who feels to be a Shakespearean actor, one must have a British accent and decades of formal training. Now I must agree with her comments about Jack Lemmon, he did appear quite stiff and uncomfortable with the language, but I found nothing lacking in Billy Crystal's or Robin Williams' performances. They were very effective in their portrayals of the First Gravedigger and Osric. Lighten Up!
