Prospero-esque characters have included:
* [[Paul Mazursky]]'s film ''[[Tempest (1982 film)|Tempest]]'' (1982) starring [[John Cassavetes]] as "Philip Dimitrius", who is an exile of his own cynical discontent, ego and self-betrayal and who abandons America for a utopian "kingdom" on a secluded Greek isle.
* The 1998 TV movie ''[[The Tempest (1998 film)|The Tempest]]'', set in a Mississippi bayou during the American Civil War, based on Shakespeare's play and starring [[Peter Fonda]] as "Gideon Prosper", a Prospero-esque plantation owner who has learned voodoo from his slaves.
