So Basically, Little Pleases Me More Than Hugh Laurie As A Fop

Number list of mostly random but sometimes related thoughts time!

1. The other day I was thinking about who in RTD's Who universe, the same ideas keep on being used throughout with new spins on them (for example, the idea behind Father's Day was used in Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane, and that evolved into Turn Left, or the repeating motif of the ( Read more... )

8. Finally, I have developed a crush on David Strathrian. Is that weird?

Ahem, you do realize I am the person who posts a happy birthday not to David Strathairn every year, yes? So no, that is not weird.

OMGs, is that a Passion Fish icon? I love that movie. In fact, that and Matewan and my post-BSG rental stalking of Mary McDonnell are the origin on the David Strathairn crush.

And yay for not being the only one and it not being weird!

Why yes, yes it is :D

I saw him last year in Conversations in Tusculum... I was >< close to him. He is AMAZING on stage.

Forgot to add, the origin of my crush was actually The River Wild with Meryl Streep, but then I saw Good Night, Good Luck and it turned into an obsession. Also, he's been my mental choice for Remus Lupin ever since I read the train scene in Prisoner of Azkaban. Literally from the first moment - tired, disheveled, a touch of gray in his hair and looking older than his years (although in DS's case, it's looking much younger than he really is which makes him look like Remus to me)

I've thought of him as Remus since 1999 - for 10 years he's been my Remus :)

I watched The River Wild last weekend :D

I never thought of him for Remus Lupin before, but now I've thought about it, he would have been absolutely perfect for the role.

That diffident, wise way that he has, and his voice - gravelly and a little hoarse... not to mention his incredibly sexy, long-fingered hands.. ... .. ahem, sorry, what was I saying again?

There's a fan site, http://www.david-strathairn.com/ that has some lovely pics of him, as well as all the latest news. He narrates the audiobook of Mystic River, if you like his voice. It's a good book too, if you like gut-wrenching mysteries.

Damn. My library's audio copy of Mystic River is narrated by some other actor I've never heard of. That's a great website though.

And I'm now completely hung up on the unfairness of David Strathairn not getting to be Remus Lupin. I wonder if he can find another role as a wise-but-timid, tired werewolf mentor.
