@jwcph @me McKellen played that part too, as Richard III.What I love about that line is it exemplifies an interesting device of Shakespeare's where he plays with consonants and vowels. Actors that are making sincere, honest invocations were given words heavy with vowel sounds to open their face and make them appear more child-like an innocent. Villains by contrast, were given speeches with more consonants to close the face and seem more sinister.Why write "To sssseem a ssssaint," when he could have wrote "to appear pious"? Because the first makes you sound like a villainous snake.
