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!

Jason Segel in Freaks and Geeks.

Adrian Dunbar as Hastings in Line of Duty.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 30/03/2021 20:34

Definitely yes to Adrian Dunbar as Hastings but only Hastings. I love him.

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!)

And Gillian Anderson from The Fall. Not in the crown though!

I can't decide if I'm straight or not!

What about sex education? She’s sexy in that!

@Annoy

Ooh thanks. I started that but didn't get far. Will try it again 😊

Sean Bean - Sharpe Grin

Well, up to a certain point in this thread Tommy Shelby definitely had a clear lead, but he seems to have been eclipsed by Lord Blackadder. Who'd have thought it eh?Grin

Just listened to Eric Roberts as Master let’s just say he can haunt my dreams anytime. Not interested in other roles he’s perfect as this.

Harrison Ford in Witness.

DioneTheDiabolist · 31/03/2021 01:02

Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard.
Cary Elwes as Wesley in Princess Bride.
Alan Rickman as Metatron in Dogma.
Lord Blackadder because:
Sardonic expression.
Perfectly-trimmed beard.
Earring.
Way with words.
Swishy sleeves when he’s relaxing below stairs.
Healthy disdain for the pretentious and sycophantic.
Randy.
Enjoys a pie.
And cuts a fine figure in doublet and hose.
WOOF!Grin

Brad Pitt in Fight Club is another good one!

Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon, despite his character being a serial killer...or is it because of that?! Shock

subbysammiexoxo · 31/03/2021 01:48

@ShesMadeATwatOfMePam henry cavill as the Witcher is next level

teezletangler · 31/03/2021 01:58

George Clooney as Doug Ross in ER

Dan Stevens as Alexander Lemtov in the Eurovision movie Grin

Silvergreen · 31/03/2021 02:16

Sigourney Weaver as Ripley

@MrsSlocombesPussy

So many people agree with me about Blackadder 2! *@EarringsandLipstick* you obviously have no taste Smile
It has been a revelation!
Clawdy · 31/03/2021 12:12

Agree about Viggo Mortenson - lovely as Aragorn, not so much without the long, flowing locks !

SnottyLottie · 31/03/2021 13:00

Adam Driver in the new Star Wars films

I fancied him so much I started to watch Girls because of him but was very disappointed in how he looks in the first few seasons (although he is still incredibly buff and an amazing actor)

CandyLeBonBon · 31/03/2021 16:01

Robbie Coltrane in 'Cracker'

IntermittentParps · 31/03/2021 16:48

Tom Hiddleston as Loki
Lol. Now that's a great and strange one

I think he's hot as Loki too! Although I kind of fancy him any day any way.

Agree with many of these especially Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt, Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker…

And Jason Isaacs, not as Jackson Brodie or Malfoy as is the majority view here but in a film about Nazis called, I think, Good (oddly enough, co-starring Viggo Mortensen).

musicalfrog · 31/03/2021 20:32

Time to rewatch Blackadder 2 as a grown up methinks!!

LizBennet · 31/03/2021 20:33

Russell Crowe, Gladiator. WTF happened?!

JamieFrasersLover · 31/03/2021 20:36

@Blueuggboots

Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser
Fight you for him lol Grin
AndAllOurYesterdays · 31/03/2021 20:48

See I prefer Rowan in Blackadder goes forth. It's the uniform that does it for me. And the sarcasm.

Hombadigada · 31/03/2021 21:06

@musicinspring1

Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore. He just didn’t have the same appeal in Lost or The V Wars
Agreed!
SimonJT · 31/03/2021 21:09

@TooMinty Haha yes, I definitely have a thing for Dads or people in the role of Dad.

whenthebellsring · 31/03/2021 21:12

Hugh Bonneville in Downton Abbey.

sharalanda · 31/03/2021 21:13

Has anyone said Andrew Lincoln in the walking dead?
