Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock
Nick from New Girl

Dexter Morgan from Dexter, Damon Salvatore, Deacon Frost.

HumphreyCobblers · 06/09/2020 20:39

So many of us loved Spike. I always avoid seeing James Marsters doing interviews as I don’t want to spoil my idea of Spike.

TwelvetyOClock · 06/09/2020 20:39

Mac from Green Wing
Chandler from Friends
Fitz from Cracker
Sherlock from Sherlock

The Green Arrow (and tbh Stephen Amell IRL too. He’s just so lovely)

Damon Salvatore

Ooh, good one.

areyoubeingserviced · 06/09/2020 20:43

Columbo- I love an intelligent but modest man

TwelvetyOClock · 06/09/2020 20:43

Almost forgot:
Malcolm Tucker from The Thick of It.

And at least a couple of the Dr Whos.

Bunnymumy · 06/09/2020 20:44

Most recently, Alexander lemkov from 'Eurovision'.

Badtasteflump · 06/09/2020 20:44

Sportacus from Lazytown ☺

daisychain1620 · 06/09/2020 20:44

@InTheCludgie me too although I think it's more to do with Rory McCann 🥰😁

Louis from the John Connelly novels about charlie Parker.

Totally unreasonable because

He's fictional
He's gay
I like his partner Angel
He murders people.

But the heart wants what the heart wants

tearinyourhand · 06/09/2020 20:46

Maximus whatever his name was in Gladiator. Which is weird because I find Russell Crowe deeply unattractive.

Also the character Ranger from the Stephanie Plum book series.

exLtEveDallas · 06/09/2020 20:47

Ooh User. I feel that, very much. I quite fancy Parker myself (I obviously like them extra troubled)

Jennygentle · 06/09/2020 20:47

Robin of Sherwood aka Michael Praed.
I absolutely adored him.
Also Jason from Battle of the Planets when I was very wee. But he was animated..

kitkatcake · 06/09/2020 20:47

Jack in While You Were Sleeping!

RedDiamond · 06/09/2020 20:48

Snape.

cheekaa · 06/09/2020 20:50

Rhett Butler / Gone with the wind

motorcyclenumptiness · 06/09/2020 20:50

Douglas from Cabin Pressure

BoreOfWhabylon · 06/09/2020 20:52

Colonel Brandon (the Alan Rickman version)
Leofric in The Last Kingdom
Gene Hunt*
Ted Hastings*

*The characters, not the actors in anything else

Doobydoo · 06/09/2020 20:52

John Carter..ER(I love him soooooo much...I had to tell DP yonks ago).
Mr Rochester.
Darcy ( in the book) not so much the Colin Firth version).

MardyBra · 06/09/2020 20:53

Robert Downey Jr’s character in Ally McBeal. Not in anything else.
