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!

sharalanda I don't think they have. Totally on that. Never fancied him before; he was always a bit wet. Not big fan of bearded Rick. But early Rick... yes.

Denzel Washington as Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing.

Ooh I loved Andrew Lincoln as Egg.

Jude Nelson in The Breakfast Club
Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire, ( but prob because I like Lestat , I prefer Stuart Townsend )
David Tennant in Dr Who, and maybe Casanova, nothing else. But so would in real life!!!!!
Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby

Nathan Fillion in Firefly, so tried to like him in Castle, liked the character but just didn't happen for me, LOL. Probably more to do with how gutted I was over there just being ONE SEASON of Firefly and the fact disney now own the rights....

I have only got to page 2 and agree with so many already but esp @whenthebellsring
Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon in Merlin. Twas his name and the way he exaggeratedly drank from his goblet. ohh that glance over the top of the goblet ! and the fact that he never took his black leather gloves off .
He can also sing !

Colin Firth but only as Mr Darcy

And agree about RA as Lord Blackadder...

Finally found a companion in this corner! @AlCalavicci

And that wry, knowing smile of his when he's oh so respectfully listening/talking to a Lady over dinner.

And when he's angry, bellowing out orders and talking about SORCERY!!!!

Ok caught up with the thread ,

Blackadder ? really ? it takes all sorts !

All you Philp Glenister fans , his older brother Robert in Hustle ( tv series not the film ) is much better looking .

John Nettles in Bergerac oh yes - in midsommer not so much

Rupert Graves as la'strade in Sherlock ( you can keep BC ) defiantly , in swimming with men , nope .

James Marsters as Spike ( buffy ) good god yes , in anything else on screen no , but I do love his voice so listen to him on Audible a lot and his band Ghost Of The Robot

@whenthebellsring, that is certainly a big part of his charm , the gentleness he did show ( albeit rarely ) but the power he held was very . . . . . well y'know

@kay3

Al Pacino as a young Michael Corleone, in the Godfather

This was my first thought.

And yes to Hugh Laurie in House and weirdly Adrian Dunbar in LoD too.

Oh I knowww

Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian.
It's not even his looks, he's just such a lovely dad to baby Grogu 🙈

Denzel Washington in Training Day

@LizBennet

Ooh I loved Andrew Lincoln as Egg.

Omg Egg!

Although Tbf whathisname as his mate and Anna's on/off squeeze was my go to! Can't remember his name (can you tell?) but I've never fancied him in anything else.

Also YY to RA in blackadder 2. Phwoar!

Mine are:
Mel Gibson in Mad Max (the first one)
Claire Danes in Romeo & Juliet
John Cusack in Bullets Over Broadway
Christopher Lambert (inexplicably) in Highlander
Jodie Foster in Nell

Yes to Viggo in LOTR but I don't think I have seen him in anything else.
Similarly Naveen Andrews in The English Patient. Probably I would...

OH yes, RA in Black Adder 2.

Jack Davenport as Miles.

Gorgeous in This Life, totally unsexy in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Weird.

Tom Hiddleston - gloriously fanciable as Loki, basically a labrador retriever in a man's body otherwise.

@WeeMadArthur

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock

Ditto

David Tennant
I actually slightly fancied him in Broadchurch. Thought it was his best performance too; I'm not generally a big fan.

weirdly Adrian Dunbar in LoD too. NOT weird at all. I fancy Ted like mad. He's so capable.

Yes I had a small crush in Broadchurch too. Not a fan in any other role though.

@IntermittentParps he is very capable, isn’t he? I kind of love how rule following he is (most of the time). There’s a smoulder that suggests a wild man hiding in there I love him in full uniform with the hat on.

AgentCooper, I like it when he puts his uniform outside jacket on

@IntermittentParps ooh aye. We’re just finishing up season 5 and see when he went a bit rogue and went undercover? It was 100% Hastings in charge. Even in the sensible anorak. Totally in control. Oof.
