I'm glad I'm not the only one who connects faces to art like that. I always thought this kid on the right belonged in a medieval tapestry. It's something about the pointy face.
That kid's face reminds me about a grown, chubby man actor dude somewhere! Someone who would've been in Seventies British sitcoms... but he has a great face. I mentally assign eras to people so often it's not true. The Devil's Whore made me grin because the chick playing Angelica would've fit an 18th century painting better (not that she was far off, and Baroque women only ever look like me anyway, see icon) and and and and. And does anyone ever go "nooo" when really... pretty-by-2000s-standards women get cast in historical dramas because obvy, we had all sorts of looks going on back in them old days, but you really *don't* expect to see super-pouty Angelina Jolies or bushy-eyebrowed Billie Pipers in old paintings?
McGann is great because he is so classically beautiful you could see him in many eras.
Now I'm trying to picture Jeniffer Aniston in the court of Queen Elizabeth I.
I remember there was something in DWM about how they lucked out with the casting of Agatha Cristie because the actress had a 1920s face, like off of an Ovaltine ad.
JA might do for a Victorian flick with toned-down makeup, I suppose... but dear god, shit like the Tudors drives me up the wall. Ug.
It must be terrible for some people who have faces that only ever fit certain eras. Like wotshername *checks* Polly Walker! She's always in 20s or 30s things and I was surprised to see her in State of Play, because for *once* she wasn't playing a flapper. Jacqueline Pearce gets the same thing, when she isn't being evil and ruling the galaxy. And then the same chicks always get cast as scullery maids in period dramas...

His cheekbones are so high they'd need warning lights.
