This weekend I watched the BBC version of Macbeth that James McAvoy starred in, and guess who showed up as MacDuff? Only that Richard Armitage fellow from Robin Hood who is pretty much the only reason I put that show so high up in my Netflix queue.
For all my fangirling, I generally don't randomly think an actor is hot for no reason. He has to do something, be funny, have a spark. I was not immediately crazy in love with Alan Tudyk. It took me years to come around to the idea of Robert Downey Jr. The boys on Battlestar get sexier as their characters become more complex. Well, everybody on that show, actually. And I can't even, like, look at Tahmoh Penikett in person, by the way. Oh, Zachary Quinto is another one. It took a few episodes and then I think it was the first Zane Taylor episode, something clicked and I went, 'Oh. Dear. Time to rewatch everything Sylar's ever done.'
However, there are some boys who just make me go ::thud:: immediately. James McAvoy was one of these. I saw him in an ad for Children Of Dune on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2003, and I decided then and there that I was going to watch that miniseries, cheesy effects be damned. And it was cheesy. And he is molten hot in it.
Right. So this Richard Armitage is another one. I saw a commercial - no, you know what, it was just a photograph. On Netflix. Netflix asked me, 'You like other stuff, would you like to watch this?' And it showed me the cover for North And South. And it was an instant 'who is that and where can I get one?' moment. If I had a type - and I have many - that whole blue-eyed black-haired cruel-browed thing would be way up near the top of the list.
And I still hadn't seen anything he was in til today.
I just thought it was funny they're in the same film.
I'm done now.
