Lee Pace…a blast from the past
This is scene from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit from 2002. Lee Pace appeared as guest and played the role of a convicted sex offender, in the episode Guilt (Season 3):
Can you imagine “Ned” as a sexual offender? Was there a trace of anything menacing in his performance? His voice and delivery sounded awfully “Ned”-ish.
Many thanks for the tip and the video upload on youtube!
In another Lee Pace related news, Amy Adams, his co-star in the movie Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, in her interview with Elle Magazine says this of Lee Pace:
“On the set of Miss Pettigrew, Adams was so distracted by her costar Lee Pace, outrageously sexy in his role as Adams’ brooding love, director Bharat Nalluri had to ask Pace to leave the set so Adams could concentrate. “Lee wasn’t working that day, so he was just lounging. He’s 6′4″, so he’s a lot of boy, and he was wearing cowboy boots,” she says. “I was kind of staring at him, because he painted such a picture, and the director came over, and I was completely in this land of admiring Lee. And Bharat goes over and tells him, “Can you leave the set? Amy’s distracted by your masculinity.’ I was so mortified. But he’s so much fun, too. He’s got such a zest for life. He’s a really good actor. So that’s my gush about Lee Pace. I hope I’m not blushing.” | Elle Magazine
The complete feature will be out on the stands in March, in time for the screening of the said movie.

I disagree somewhat…
Lee will never be able to change the general texture of his voice, so in that respect, every character he plays will sound a *bit* like Ned.
But in his delivery here for this L&O character, there is a brittle, manipulative charm and a subtle underlying sarcasm, which is NOTHING like Ned. He has information they need, and they have the power to give him something he wants. You can hear those machinations in his voice with every line. His body language is at times languid and then evasive, while Ned’s is awkward and tight from spending a lifetime avoiding physical contact and closeness. Another difference in the two characters…
Can help but say it: I greatly admire the range of characters Lee Pace can play.
