Actors that you only fancy in one role

[mamaduckbone]

I'll start...
Cillian Murphy only as Tommy Shelby
Viggo Mortensen only as Aragorn.

I know it's been done before but it's Sunday evening and I'm bored!

Daniel Mays for approximately seven seconds only between 1.18-1.25

Loved the specificity of this Jarvis.

Brilliant!

The Philip Glenister and Roman Atkinson love I'm just not seeing

Ooh, yes, forgot about Philip Glenister! (No idea who Roman Atkinson is, unless you mean Rowan Atkinson and you're on your own there lol)
Watched an interview with PG and he sounds dead posh when out of character of Gene Hunt
Just not the same!
Must be something about him being a sexist pig and "you're surrounded by armed bastards!" lol

Heath Ledger as the Joker I think it's the bad boy image

“How has nobody mentioned Aidan Turner? In everything except Poldark he does nothing for me, nothing. However when he is stomping around Cornwall in a tricorn hat I love him.“

I only really fancied him in And Then There Were None.

Ed Westwick as Chuck Bass

Ed Burns in Saving Private Ryan

Douglas Henshall is divine as DCI Jimmy Perez in Shetland.
I always find him a bit embarrassing in everything else, especially that dreadful Primeval thing

*Rowan Atkinson clearly, not Roman! The house definitely seems divided on that one.
How can you see past Mr Bean??

@Waffle12

Russel Crow in Gladiator!

Beat me to it!

He was absolutely smoking hot in that role, but not attractive in anything else, even in his prime years.

Agree also with Jon Hamm in the Don Draper role. He was amazingly hot in that, but in real life he's just blandly attractive, kind of like a CNN newscaster. Good looking, yes, but forgettable.

Sure, John Hamm is sexy as Don Draper...but have you ever seen him as Sergio? 🤣🤣

Russel crow in gladiator

Tom Ellis as Lucifer. That accent 💗 When he’s in Miranda 🤮🤮

Matthew McConaughey in True Detective but not in anything else or in real life. He should play angsty drug addled cops not romantic leads

Tom Hardy in Taboo. All dirty and cross. I would hope he could have a use for me

@PopperUppleton
Take that dress off!!!

@janlevinson

Ed Westwick as Chuck Bass

Omg yes!! But only in the later seasons!

Johnny Depp as captain Jack Sparrow.

But the main one is Tom Burke in The Musketeers. Really don’t fancy him in RL or in anything else. Must be the leather?

That is odd because I only like him when he is being Cormoran Strike. In The Musketeers he reminded me of a grumpy Siamese cat with a hat on.

Cormoran Strike - yes.

Athos - no.

Dolokhov - no.

Aidan Turner as Poldark

@Fyredraca be still my beating heart 💓

Russell Crowe only in Gladiator !!!

@Molly70

Aidan Turner as Poldark

Aidan Turner is also hot in 'And Then There Were None' but any time I've seen 'real life' pics of him I don't find him attractive at all. Yes, I'm sure he's devastated.

I have no interest in Leonardo DiCaprio in any film apart from The Departed. I drool over him in that one. No idea why.

Another for Gene Hunt

*Rowan Atkinson clearly, not Roman! The house definitely seems divided on that one. How can you see past Mr Bean??

Blackadder II was 1986, Bean's first outing wasn't until a few years later. And I don't think I saw Bean for another few years. So Blackadder was well established in my head long before Bean.

I think it's testament to Atkinson's extremely malleable face. He sets it into one configuration for comedy effect, but he's just as capable of setting it into a more attractive configuration too! Then add that Blackadder II was smart and funny and sarcastic and looked very dashing with his earring and beard and - well, it's the only role I find him fanciable in.
