King Herod's Song - 'The Making of Jesus Christ Superstar'

[@kawai4christ]

Can I officially say.... he played that role awesomely and you will never forget that he was in it! In my opinion he was the best in the role for Herod! How good was this... I first bought it on VHS, then on DVD and then digitally!

Rick mayall was utterly fantastic I miss him so much

[@kasimirmir]

me too :(

[@AdcrofromTikTok]

I miss Rick. He could be so wonderfully odious, grotesque and sleazy. He made a brilliantly sinister and threatening Herod.

[@DaniellaCartwright]

He makes me laugh but also creeps me out! (:

[@LuannOsbourne]

may Mr Mayall rest in eternal paradise

[@trinitymplayers]

Then he did his job. The real Herod Antipas was pretty much that.

[@jackver2006]

I agree It’s too bad he died but, he wasn’t the threatening Herod. Josh Mostel was the Mean Herod.

[@krazychemist78]

This is just awesome. He plays it with a mockingly sinister faux-fanboy that always has his skepticism just under the surface, then his temper comes out when he realizes Jesus isn't afraid of him. Such a nuanced performance. I like this heaps better than the '73 version.

[@suzannerust8658]

Damn, I miss Rik but watching this reminds me how much I adore his acting - first got to watch him in Blackadder

[@bethanygranger7232]

I know him so well. He also played peeves the poltergeist in the Harry Potter books. But not in the movies

[@RosesNightengales]

Bethany Granger THATS WHY HE SOUNDS FAMILIAR! I remember his voice from the Harry Potter video games!

[@jackmoody5174]

He was cast in the movies, but they cut him out

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

I miss you Rick.. So much. My favourite Herod.

[@halialeigh8087]

Ah he’s so incredibly wonderful♥️miss the bugger♥️♥️

[@LadyVader33]

RIP Rik. Thank you for the memories

[@Serai3]

Yeah, he's scary the way a rich, entitled brat prince is scary the minute you tell him no. All that power can turn deadly in an instant. I love how Jesus just stares him down with that _you don't scare me, little boy_ look.

It is a wonderful rendition . Really powerful and CHALLENGING !!!!!!

We have king Herod in the White House now

[@DiagonalByte]

Very accurate. Well said.

[@stobbi38]

This right here. This was the very first time I became aware of Rik Mayall (had seen Shock Treatment before, but that's the only thing he was in where it's possible not to notice him) and the way he talks in that short Interview got me hooked. You look at him and instantly go: "Wow, he sure is a character! ". Very intriguing in a bit of a creepy way here. After some research I found out he was just about the sweetest person ever. Celebrity-wise, he's probably the biggest loss of the century.

[@sundaypeople5791]

Don't let him know the ce...word!😅 So you took the Rik- likes- shocking - people- in- an- interview - way of being introduced to his magic. Mine was a different one, let's see if I can find it!❤️

[@sundaypeople5791]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5iqaWqKh8mpf5o That's how I found him, 3 years ago. Has become a precious part of life!❤️

Оспидяй, какой же Рик King Herod прекрасный!!!

[@davidbreen6335]

Rik the self proclaimed peoples poet as King Herod I love it.

[@twistedwildfire1770]

Did Rick play a Bond villain?

[@michael.miller7011]

Rik sound like Stewie Griffin from family guy

[@cloubdustings]

he was actually inspiration for stewie

[@chrissysousa]

@@cloubdustings the inspiration was Rex Harrison from My Fair Lady ( Professor Henry Higgins)

[@cloubdustings]

@@chrissysousa oh, i heard differently. nice to know
