Ian McDiarmid as the Prince of Darkness
Mr. McDiarmid voiced Satan in "Paradise Lost" by John Milton. I put together all his quotes from the poem and added some eerie music. Here's my video with the narration by Mr. McDiarmid as the perfect Prince of Darkness.

    I’m a huge Ian McDiarmid and Palpatine fan. Please continue to post! 😊. He’s such an underrated actor. People make such a big deal about Ian McKellen and some other British actors. I think McDiarmid actually rivals them with all of roles combined. Love his voice. ❤

    You have to get your hands on movie/tv series that has him playing a role involving the beginning of WW1.

    This is the first radio drama with Ian McDiarmid I've ever listened to, suffice to say I'm impressed, hooked. I'm now always on the lookout for new radio dramas with him in them. Fortunately he recently adapted and starred in 'When We Dead Awaken', I got to listen to that. Unfortunately, BBC made it available only for a certain period. I hope you could someday get a recording of it and upload it here.
