Who would play your Rupert Campbell-Black?

[Iamblossom]

He has to be blond surely?

Struggling to think of an actor I would cast rather than the dark haired chap that is playing him in Rivals, but maybe that's the point - he is sooo perfect his likeness doesn't exist

Nikolai Coster-Waldau. Hell yeah!

As much as I’m loving Alex Hassell in the role, Alexander Skarsgard in his Eric/True Blood mode would do it for me!

Agreed re Rupert Penry-Jones rather than this chap who is more Robbie Rotten

Slight?

rupert young. he was in pjdn and also his name is rupert. so he's versatile and doesn't have any issue with answering to /rupert/

Jack Fox has a good look for it.

I agree @Mirabai RCB has to be good looking and arrogant.

Per the book description - Dan Stevens? Right colour eyes and greek profile?

James Norton

Perhaps I'm wrong then. Only in every interview I've seen him in, he always looks slight next to the other men.

I think he looks like Hellboy.

Totally agree!

Very clever character arc too - at the beginning he's almost a caricature physically and in behaviour. By the end he's just so heart stoppingly beautiful and loveable 😭

He'd struggle for obvious reasons but this man, no man touches him for me .... 💔

Julian Sands has always been RCB for me.
The clipped voice, the faint sneer. Perfect.

Paul Walker, if he was alive and still 40 and British, would have been perfect.

I think Paul Mescal would have been great. But maybe too young.

Jamie Dornan is a good call though.

Don't mind Alex Hassell.

Let's face it, it's an impossible job! 😁

See the post a couple of posts above yours!! Totally agree with you 😍

I wouldn't have thought of him! Your post reminded me. He was just gorgeous.

I had never heard of him , but I did think "he'll be teeny , they'd all have to walk round in a trench" but he;s 5'11" , very tall for a jockey .
Nice looking man

@70isaLimitNotaTarget he is lovely isn't he!

Agree. A younger Rupert Penry-Jones was my first thought when the new Rivals came out. He would have been the obvious choice. 100% perv-worthy.

Declan actor sans tache without a bloody doubt.

You need swagger... Ssxyness. The current actor is definitely trying but it feels too forced. You need a James bond type, Sean connery or tiger more... Easy to swagger

I was going to say Dan Stevens but he would be good too.

this fella obviously

Ha haha
