Wow, Toby Stephens should play Damian Lewis's brother sometime.

Also you just fantasy-cast a professional wrestler as Mr. Rochester. I am in awe.

I KNOW!

If you're going to literary hell, we're all going with you. :)

I was going to say. I read Jane Eyre cold, in my 20s, and concluded that Rochester was the villainous himbo from Disney's Beauty and hte Beast.

Or, you know, Clenchy McLockjaw. Which is why I found it hilarious when he burst into song later on in the novel.

Gaston.

of the "No one _____s like Gaston" song, which was my personal favorite in the movie. Especially when he lifted up the bench with the three girls on it. Benches of wenches. Yup, he's a BAMF.

Ciaran Hinds and Toby

You forgot to include a dose or chaser of Ciaran Hinds from his role in Ivanhoe - dark, brooding and doomed. And yes, Toby definitely should play D.L.'s brother - perhaps they'll cast him in Life down the line.

I will always love Toby Stephens best as Fergus Wolff in Possession, for which he was dreadfully miscast, but great anyway. 'Course he can't compete with Aaron Eckhart as the handsome lead (imo), but he's still a yummy side dish.

And, Maggie's son? Yes, suddenly hotter by association.
