Added, thanks again!

As long as, it is revealed at some point, it should be fine. The list has a lot of empty space.

Well, for clarification, I was worried about spoilers or at the very least cases whereby most of the plot summaries of a given movie provide no indication that one of the male characters instrumental to the story has no balls.

I haven't thought about it yet. I would think to avoid the spoilers, if they are big ones.

In the case of one movie, there is a flashback scene revealing why the protagonist is buffed up on testosterone injections, and if my memory serves me correctly, this scene is near the middle of the movie, without any particular twist involved at all in the whole story. I could probably go ahead and suggest this one without ruining it. In the case of the other movie, the revelation does not come until the last scene, and the fact of the neutering is essential to the affected character's motives. I'm trying to get a grasp on whether or not knowledge of the character's secret condition would make the actual "twist" easier for an audience to determine far before the corresponding scene. Both of the movies for which I've provided these descriptions are rather grim.

The characters "Lajja Shankar Pandey" and "Dheeraj Pandey" are sort of revealed to be eunuchs near the middle/end of the movie. So, I guess it should be ok to include both of your suggestions.

I am actually looking for characterizations rather than the character itself. It is similar to where a man plays a woman or vice versa.

That may be enough justification for me to at least identify what I had/have in mind: Jacky in Rundskop, and Bobby in Just Cause. However, I should recommend that these characters not be included unless/until somebody else who has seen these movies and observed the performances seconds the nominations. I found the corresponding revealings to be rather unexpected and shocking, so I wouldn't want to spoil anything for somebody who might happen to watch one of the movies while not knowing what to expect.

Okay.

On a more comedic note, albeit dark comedy, I recall that the character Gaspar Voorsboch in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is revealed to have a bit of a problem down there, but I don't remember whether or not he qualified as eunuch, since there was no clear indication/implication that his 'nads were broken or absent.

That doesn't count probably.

Right, I'm thinking that there is or has to be a distinction between being neutered and strictly being "Bobbitized", so to speak. I can't remember what exactly the guy said in European Gigolo, but it was something to the effect of losing his member thus ending his career. Carlo Broschi, on the other hand, and people like him didn't have that problem. Anyway, the bottom line here could be to conform to the definition provided for the poll: "A eunuch is a man who has been castrated to serve a specific social function." The movies I've referenced thus far are more along the lines of malice or accidents, rather than service or honor. So, never mind.

Makes sense, thank you for suggestions anyways.

Even, I don't recall any clear indication of any characters

Done, thanks. 🙂

Thank you. 🙂

I only happened to see Fairnelli on television, one time, nearly two decades ago. He seems to be the most famous castrato of all time.
