sheriff of nottingham pictures

Above: Alan Rickman in Prince of Thieves, possibly the definitive Sheriff of Nottingham in all the movies made about Robin Hood.
Above: Alan Wheatley as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Richard Greene television series The Adventures of Robin Hood. Wheatley's superb performance would link him for all time with the "dastardly villain" of legend.
Above left: Robert Shaw as the aging Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin and Marian. Robert Shaw's Sheriff of Nottingham has the temperament of an army general, craving the action packed battles of his youth. Above centre: The accomplished actor Peter Finch was inexcusably poor as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the first Walt Disney film of The Story of Robin Hood. Maybe he was having a bad hair day. Above right: Nicholas Grace played the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin of Sherwood, giving a superb performance which had to match Robert Addie as Guy of Gisburne as Robin Hood's main adversary.
Above: The arrows from Robin Hood and his Merry Men find their target in the early episodes of The Adventures of Robin Hood.
