Brian Thompson as Hercules in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (2000) 

I watched the TV movie/miniseries of JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS back in the day and I remember very little about it. I remember I didn't like the casting of Jason (I still don't). The only good thing was Brian Thompson as Hercules. One of the best choices from any productions. Aside from the facial markings, Brian was perfect. He practically only played villains and this role was a good example of how a big guy like him could play a good guy (and yet stilll look menacing). 

In this scene, he pushes the ship into the sea. Jason asks "Who are you?" I'm like, Jason and the Argonauts don't know who Hercules is? WTH? That was so cringe. But anyway, Brian could have easily made a Hercules movie and I would have been fine with that.
