As promised, I give you all the reasons Ioan should play a vampire...via pics.
Let's begin by pointing out that he can pull off the "demonic red eyes" look. And no, I didn't tweak this pic. It's a scene in Hornblower where a boat explodes, and the explosion is reflected in his eyes.
Even when he doesn't have red in his eyes, he has that piercing gaze that is so important for a vampire if he wants to get his victims to do his bidding.
These next two prove he's already got the potential for going for the Jugular...
The man also manages to look sexy with blood on his lips...
(Doesn't look like that's his own blood he's cleaning off, does it?)
Ok, this was the photographer's doing. But come on! It screams "Vampire"!
And this one, taken from the archives of this very community, just sort of proves my point. Nothing more to say.
Let's not forget, as well, that he's tall, thin, and graceful, all factors that are important in our view of the seductive vampire. Plus, well, wouldn't YOU love to hear that Welsh voice murmuring in your ear?
(I wish I'd remembered to get a screencap from "Amazing Grace" when he lies in the coffin like thing to get an idea of the cramped condition of slave ships. I'm bad, but the first thing I thought when I saw that moment was thinking of Ioan as a vampire).
