To admit I find this fictional character strangely attractive? Who is yours...

Doc Martin. There, I've said it. I think he's so dreamy. I love how anti social and awkward he is when underneath it all he really does care. I've only ever watched it this week! Got a WHOLE show to start binging on.

I am assuming this is quite an unusual crush.

Who is yours?

Ralph Touchett in James’ The Portrait of a Lady. He’s a dying American who doesn’t really do anything other than fall quietly in love with his visiting cousin, (but never tells her or expects her to reciprocate), and is a kind, humane, clever, sympathetic individual.

Ok.
Mines reaeaally weird.

Adar from the rings of power. Both season 1 and season 2 played by different actors) Both are hot but particularly Sam Hazeldines Adar.

I Also think that even though he is a completely made up character (although based perhaps on the Moriondor) he was an interesting and complex character and one that could have gone far in that otherwise dubious show 😭

Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal Lecter. Utterly charming. I mean, I wouldn’t want to go to his house for dinner or anything, but I’d happily spend afternoons in a cafe or a museum or art gallery somewhere just listening to him talk.

The rest are all the cliched, strong, silent types who get up to all sorts of trouble but rein it back a bit for the love of a good woman.

Sam from glow. I have no idea how but there’s something…

Saul Goodman. So bad he is good (and Bob Odenkirk is gorgeous).

Punchinello Beezo from the novel Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz, and Benedict Cumberbatch as BBC's Sherlock.

Oh god yes! Had a filthy dream about House once and have never been able to watch it the same way since. Don’t find Hugh Laurie attractive in anything else so it’s definitely House and not him that I fancy!

ETA I take it from your username that you’re also a Crazy Ex GF fan? Another sexy Greg.

Yes Alex Hassell's version and I'm looking forward to further series, but mainly for the years of RCB in my imagination from reading and re-reading JC
Oddly perhaps I've always felt that Rik Mayall would make a good casting choice on-screen as well :-)
