This Makes Me Laugh...

But first let me say a sincere THANK YOU to ala-tariel, anastdean, ckll, and gatorgrrrl. My dearests, your wonderful gifts are much appreciated. ♥

Now, here's what made me "bouncing" in my seat: I just ran into an article @ comicbookmovie where Anne Rice discussed Lestat, Twilight, and Robert Downey, Jr. (among other actors). Here's an excerpt that made me chortle:

She's right...it's beautiful diction!

Hope you're having a great week!

Miiick! I take it you've been following L&O:UK? ;)

I hope you have a great week too! &hugs

Unfortunately, no. I don't have any way to watch it (I don't get BBC). I have read some synopsis of the episodes and seen some stills from it, though. I keep hoping that maybe, one day, the USA channel will add it to their line-up (since they seem to show all the other incarnations of L&O). Truthfully, I've never been a L&O fan, but I think I could get over that for Jamie. ;)

Oh! Do you know BBC American is now showing the first series on Friday nights (or is it Sunday nights?) I bought the DVD boxset for S1 when it first came out. While I watched the original L&O quite religiously back in the day, I haven't liked the show and its many US reincarnations for a long time. But like you said, I would get over that for Jamie too. I just need to find time to sit down and watch it.

Even without watching the series, I can just imagine how Jamie's diction impressed Anne Rice. One thing Jamie impressed me from the get-go is his articulation. I haven't seen any actor like him before and since!

We don't get BBC America, either. :(
I agree...he is a very well-spoken person. I could sit and listen to him for hours...
