This depends on which version is being referred to. Below is a list (in chronological order) of versions of Sweeney Todd and the names of the actors in title role.

Sweeney Todd (movie 2007)- Johnny Depp

There is another London revival planned for 2011 with Michael Ball as the title role.

Answer 2

No, Patrick Stewart has never played Sweeney Todd. I think you might be confusing him with Ben Kingsley. They're both tall, bald British guys with somewhat similar faces. Ben Kingsley played Sweeney Todd in the 1997 made-for-TV movie, The Tale of Sweeney Todd. Joanna Lumley played Mrs. Lovett.

Answer 3

The original actor to play the role of Sweeney Todd in Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is Len Cariou
