365 Day Journal Challenge - Day 113

Day 113. Five guys you find attractive.

Isn't this pretty much Day 45. List five celebrities that you’re attracted to just worded differently? Hmmm, maybe not, but I think my answers would be the same.

So... Let's see... Instead I'll post about five actors whose work I really enjoy.

Great choices! I totally agree with Benedict! He even makes a great baddie when he's just a voice!! :D

[dimity_blue]

He definitely has the right kind of voice for that!

Great choices, hon.

Thanks, Beth!

Admiral Piett was Potty Peake???!!! *bouncebounce* OMGOMGOMG!!! That just made my day. That's right up there with Benedict Cumberbatch's mother having played Colonel Lake on UFO!!!

I can still hear that voice, with that thick country accent including the glottal stop instead of the "tt" sound, saying with that fixed certainty ... "Potty sees. Potty knows."

"Potty will go on to work for Darth Vader..."

Yep! I know! Even when I know Ken Colley's in something, it's hard to recognise him as he's so different every time.

Any post talking of "Return To Treasure Island" is going to make me happy. :D

As for Eddie Marson, if you're that big of a fan, you must try "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell"! I found episode one on YT. Ssh, don't tell anybody. ;)

(Pretty sure the rest is up, although you may have to hunt about a bit for all the episodes. I don't have time to look now, but I will help in the round-up later if you like!)

Ooh! I will watch it today, thank you!

"Return To Treasure Island" was the first time I noticed him. He was awesome as Ben!

He is good, yes. Michael Palin is always quick to sing his praises. Obviously you've listed the Python credit above, but he also did "Jabberwocky" with Palin and Gilliam, and an episode of the sadly underknown "Ripping Yarns", with Palin and Jones. I love that series. If memory serves, his episode was 'The Testing Of Eric Olthwaite'. Good stuff. :)

I watched the 1st ep of "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell". I'm partway through the 2nd. I'm intrigued though I suspect it's all going to end in tears.

Marc Warren's eyebrows deserve a credit all of their own.

I do love that posh bloke insisting on pronouncing No-RELL!

I love Angelica Huston as well, but more for her roles in The Darjeeling Limited and The Life Acquatic.

I've liked her in everything I've seen her in. She really seems to relish playing villains. :oD
