Highlander:
Endgame
Press Release
Bruce Payne Quoted about Highlander ( 2000 ) "The enthusiasm is shared by the film's compelling supporting cast. Bruce Payne, who plays the devastatingly powerful Kell, had loved the concept of immortals ever since seeing the first HIGHLANDER. "The original HIGHLANDER wasn't just an action movie, but a story with some real depth to it," he observes. "Behind the warrior clashes there was a subplot about men having to face themselves, having to answer for their legacy. I loved that and this script seemed to dive right back into this fascinating mix of thrills and moral inquiry." Kell oversees an entire "posse" of immortals, each alone presenting a formidable foe to the Highlanders. "I loved having a posse," admits Payne. "It reminded me of an artist's salon in the 1930s where you have all these remarkable talents trying to become the favorite, only of course their art is killing one another. Everyone in the posse is trying to get in my favor - and it's all about who will dare to take on the MacLeods." ABOUT THE CAST... Bruce Payne Kell, the most invincible immortal in history, is played by Bruce Payne. Payne's extensive film credits include many fantasy thrillers and action adventures, from his best-known role as the villainous Charles Rane in"Passenger 57: to roles in "For Queen and Country," "Sweepers," "Warlock III:The End of Innocence" and "Howling VI:The Freaks."
