Count de Rochefort Captain of the Cardinal's Guards |
"The Three Musketeers"

| Count Rochefort is one of Michael's most popular characters. We have more Rochefort admirers in our club than any of his other characters, with the possible exception of Adrian de Moxica. Michael plays the part of Captain Rochefort with gusto, his cat-like movements and his chilling presence make this version of Dumas' bad guy very popular indeed. The sword fight at the end is very exciting and Michael, Kiefer Sutherland and Chris O'Donnell give their all in this scene. |

Musketeers, Athos (Kiefer Sutherland), Porthos (Oliver Platt)
