As in, not an obvious choice.

Mine is Reece Shearsmith from League of Gentlemen, specifically as Benjamin and particularly as Ross. There's something about the glasses and the bossiness/ air of authority Blush he has a really cute smile too.

"I like Reece what’sisname too - I used to have a bf from Leeds and I love the accent!"

I'm being pedantic here but Reese Shearsmith has a Hull accent. Admittedly they'd sound similar to anyone from elsewhere in the country Grin

Another vote for Peter Dinklage.

His voice melts me like a bar of galaxy in the microwave Grin

Glad I'm not the only one!
