surreallis , for the worthy cause of turning her flist into a place of hotness.
1) Pick a hot guy....take a moment to think. (OR WOMAN, because my flist is not all about Teh PEEN.)
2) Is this the guy you want?
3) Pick his top 10 hottest, cutest, most irrestible pictures.
4) Tag five other users.
5) Comment with the link to your meme. (I'll see it, don't worry about this part.)
So, let me show you Adrian Lester...
He's in this show called Hustle (or Hu$tle, for US peeps), where he plays Mickey Stone, the leader of a gang of con artists (think The Sting, only modern - they did in fact do the con from the end of The Sting, and it was glorious).
Sadly, he wasn't in the last series of Hustle, because he was filming a pilot in LA for
something that sounds incredibly unlikely ever to happen - but it's all okay, because I heard this Friday that he's coming back in the next series, w00t!
He's also in something called Bonekickers, which starts this coming Tuesday. It's from the people who wrote Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes, and is apparently a cross between CSI and Indiana Jones. It looks awfully daft, but in a fun way.
Also,
surreallis, he's in Maybe Baby. I've not seen that. Perhaps I should. He's also played Hamlet.
And apparently has ambitions to be the first black Doctor Who - which I think would be fantastic. Although he's possibly not weird enough for the role - but then again, he's RADA-trained, so I think he'd be actorly enough.
This pic below, btw, is from my favourite ep of Hustle. There's a lot of rivalry between Mickey and the young upstart conman, Danny, so the gang made them fight it out - by dropping them in Trafalgar Square, naked. The person with the most money at the end of the day would be the winner. To their eternal credit, these two actors genuinely did run naked through Trafalgar Square (at some early hour of the morning, of course).
