To me, Brad Douriff will always be the best Piter. He did an amazing job. Thanks for the video!! Great Stuff!

Brad Douriff is great at portraying psychopaths :D

[@GotoMaki4Micah]

he'll continue to be the best. i didnt think id agree but brad was allowed to be piter while the new one is only a shadow

I like the 80's DUNE Film from di Laurentis. And De Vries was exellently portraid. Thanks for this video. Cool stuff, GDN, and many things i didnt knowd.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Glad it was informative.

Actually, the guy who plays the Harkonnen mentat in the Dune 2000 mission briefings, Robert Carin, was a much better Piter deVries. It says in the books that Piter had a sweet, musical voice. His portrayal literally gives me chills. Brad Dourif has a harsh, grating voice. They should have hired Carin for the movie. I know Dourif is a much bigger name, but sometimes lesser known actors really are better.

Thanks good inclusion for your character series

Yes in the new books he was a clone or a gona of the original who was killed attempting to assassinate Paul as he was being born and he killed the emperor's first wife and mother of irulan who witnessed the events , he also used to take so much spice that he had visions of the future one included the fall of house harkonnen and the other alternative was a harkonnen on the imperial throne ( I think )

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That sounds a bit like overkill, lol.
