This was a suggestion of one of those lists I found a while ago and truthfully this is a great casting idea. Ralph Fiennes would be a perfect Frollo.
As far as Fiennes acting prowess goes, he can played Frollo regardless of the type of Frollo the version is depicting. Whether it be sympathetic or cruel or some mixture of both. Fiennes has a very unique ability to make his villains likable yet still very threatening. Even his hero gambit run the gambit from nice to intense.
Fiennes has a good look to play Frollo. Not only is he age appropriate to the role but he has a great bone structure for Frollo’s angular, austere yet intense face.
He’s got it all. He has good look for the role, he’s age appropriate (if you care), and he’s capable of playing a likable bad guy. Fiennes would be an ideal casting pick for Frollo in any induration of the character. But what do you think? Would you like to see the actor who played He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named play Frollo?
Also the idea of the actors who played Voldemort and and Dumbledore playing the same character makes me smile.

I think he would be perfect! He would be the perfect Frollo for an Alicia Vikander’s Esmeralda (like you suggested once), I don’t know why, but I think they would be great in the same movie, they look like could be from the same story, something about their faces, I don’t know how to explain.
Great choice. I missed these kind of posts.
I will try to do more of them in the future.
Vikander and Fiennes would be awesome opposite each other. Here is a picture of them together from an award show https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-J39HgW0AAjc9c.jpg
