Thirty Days of Borgias: Day Three
Day 03 ~ Favourite male character.
Rodrigo Borgia, aka Alexander VI. He's such a great mixture of flaws and strengths, and has that Londo Mollari ability of being able to make one furious, admiring, affectionate and concerned within the same episode. The show neither lets him off the hook for the former nor denies the later, and keeps the Renaissance mixture of corruption going hand in hand with faith (Rodrigo buying the papacy, seeing it as a family enterprise and never stopping to wonder just exactly what God wants from him is entirely compatible for him) very much in mind. Also he has great taste in women and is wonderfully sardonic when dealing with the conclave of Cardinals. And is played by Jeremy Irons, whom as a young actor I never found as attractive as I do now. I rest my case by pointing to this Rodrigo character vid.
