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!

I have liked Peter Capaldi in many of his roles but never found him fanciable. But, inspired by JarvisCockerSpanieI's 7-seconds of Daniel Mays being fanciable, may I present the points when I found his Doctor Who incredibly fanciable, both times with Alex Kingston.

, at around the two minute mark

and

especially after the three minute mark.

He was just so tender in these two scenes, and so sexy!

Gene Hunt
Sean Bean as Sharp
Rege in Bridgerton
Poldark
Uhtred in the last kingdom

Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager.
Oo-er....

I'm sure this one has already been said many times, but Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager.

Oh Peters drop dead gorgeous as 12,

Ha ha at crossed post!

John Sim in Life on Mars
Ethan Hawke in the Before Sunrise Trilogy
Iain Glen and Ian McElhinney in Game of Thrones
James Nesbitt in Cold Feet

I'd like to say - loud and proud - that I also fancy Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder II. It's the beard, earing and raised eyebrows that do it for me.

Re: Gillian Anderson and James McAvoy. God yes! I could positively drown in James McAvoy's eyes.

And Gillian Anderson - I generally consider myself straight but I would totally make an exception for Gillian Anderson (espec X-files era!)

Antonio Banderas , but only as Zorro.
And yes , Al Pacino in Godfather 1 and 2 ❤️.
Luke Pasqualino in Our Girl.

Don’t get the Cillian Murphy love at all, sorry.

Loki 😍. Tom Hiddleston, not so much

Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn. The only reason I can watch the movie

And - showing my age here - Clive Owen as Stephen Crane ( Chancer , around 1990 I think ).

James Spader as Raymond Reddington.

Oh oh! Rufus Sewell in Zen but also when he narrated the Doctor Syn stories,.

Alexander Dreymon as Uhtred in The Last Kingdom.

I love the long dark haired, with facial hair 9th century look.

The clean shaven, short haired modern look does absolutely nothing for me.

So many, this is a normal occurrence for me:

• the priest in fleabag, nothing else
• David tenant in good omens, nothing else
• Strike in Strike, nothing else

You’ll notice I don’t even bother learning names cause they’re never as sexy in another role.

Dolph lundgren as Drago in Rocky 4 😍

Travis Fimmel in 'Vikings'
Richard Roxburgh in 'Rake'

He was famously blond and blue-eyed in the books.

Clive Owen's dad was my school caretaker - how's that for a claim to fame?

@ladymalfoy45

Oh oh! Rufus Sewell in Zen but also when he narrated the Doctor Syn stories,.

Ooh, we were just watching this a couple of days ago - fabulous!

But I cannot add him to this list, as I fancy him in EVERY role he's ever played.

I can definitely recommend him in the BBC ShakespeaRe-Told version of 'Taming of the Shrew'.

Hugh Laurie in House

I loved Chancer! Yes, Clive Owen was hot in that.

John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic
Robert De Niro in Heat
Hugh Grant in About a Boy
Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman
Bill Pullman in While You Were Sleeping
Mathew McConaughey in Magic Mike

Orlando Bloom as Legolas. I just liked the elfin hair and ears
