Ioan Gruffudd Actor - Ever played a good guy?

getoutofheree · 29/05/2022 13:05

I notice in all his roles he plays a narcissistic abusive twat.

Does he ever play a good guy in anything?

Philip Bossiney in The Forsyte Saga…oh hang on he was a bit of a twat.

Oh I'd forgotten that!

His ex insists he's been less successful than other Brits abroad because his American accents are a bit dodgy.
I read the restraining order files and think it was in there, comparing him with Matthew Rhys.

darisdet · 29/05/2022 14:38

I remember him from Great Expectations now! He was quite decent that I remember.

Quirkycarrot · 29/05/2022 14:43

I only remember him from early stuff like a drama about the UN peacekeepers in Bosnia, think he was pretty decent in that.

QuebecBagnet · 29/05/2022 14:43

He was good in Hornblower.

MagicGirl93 · 29/05/2022 14:48

I imagine his ex would have given him plenty of inspiration when it came to playing a narcissistic twat 🤣

garlicandsapphires · 29/05/2022 14:58

He played the abolitionist William Wilberforce in Amazing Grace - a good guy if ever there was one!

Jellychat · 29/05/2022 15:34

Man and Boy.

Luredbyapomegranate · 29/05/2022 15:36

Alice… did they kick you off twitter?

LoekMa · 29/05/2022 15:39

Let it go Alice, its been 2 years.

Cant imagine what the poor guy went through. I hope he pushes for the Permanent Restraining Order. Some people need to be taught a lesson

SemperIdem · 29/05/2022 15:40

Definitely getting Alice vibes off this one

darisdet · 29/05/2022 15:42

I wondered if she'd been warned recently as she no longer posts about her ex and his new girlfriend, on social media, as she once did.

JacquelineCarlyle · 29/05/2022 15:58

I've only seen him in Liar & didn't like him after that. I know he's acting, but it totally put me off him as a real life person!

I feel for his wife as whilst I think she'd be better off keeping things private, she was obviously very badly hurt and then treated so badly afterwards by him (following 'the script' if what she put is to be believed) that she put it all out publicly. Being so badly hurt makes people react in extreme ways, so I find it hard to criticise her at all. I do hope she gets the real life support that she needs though.

Badqueen · 29/05/2022 16:01

There's no evidence he cheated. Its clear he was a victim of an abusive relationship though. I hope he's happier with Bianca.

He was forced to get a non molestation order against Alice because she was harassing him and his new gf.

Errrr, have you seen the vile texts and emails that she sent him and his family? They’re included in his petition for a temporary restraining order. She threatens to “do what Amber Heard did” and to keep a false diary of abuse so that she can ruin his career, among other things.

She’s a vile abuser and I find it easy to criticise abusive people.

She was like this well before the divorce too, just Google “Alice Evans Hoarse Whisperer” and see how she reacted in 2018 when a nobody account blocked her on Twitter.

Im sure this reply will get deleted as “not in the spirit” as AE/IG threads tend to on MN.

Solomon a Gaenor

He was amazing in that!

Philandbill · 29/05/2022 16:06

The Bosnia drama was called "Warriors" and is excellent. Also starred Damian Lewis, both played good people in awful circumstances.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 29/05/2022 16:08

He was a lovely lad in Pobol y Cwm back in the day,
son of the salt of the earth landlord and his wife

darisdet · 29/05/2022 16:12

Thanks @Badqueen That makes sense.

HDready · 29/05/2022 16:17

Fizbosshoes · 29/05/2022 13:40

Wasn't he (fairly inoffensive) in 101 Dalmatians Blush
that might have been the only thing I've seen him in

It was 102 Dalmatians. Not a patch on 101!

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 29/05/2022 16:26

He was pretty funny in his cameo in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Robert Downey Junior.

getoutofheree · 29/05/2022 16:30

I didn't think of this making people think it was his ex. I really apologise for that because.... well,,,, I'm not her I'm just a woman watching Liar right now and the only other thing I saw him in was Sanctum. (a great movie)

Not sure what I can say to disprove that I'm Alice but if there is let me know 😂

Yes this was my point because I've only seen him in that other movie. I didn't know he was in the Welsh drama, watched a little clip.

He's talented, great at acting, just wondered where I could see him being... nice!

He's also very good looking but honestly we're very likely related as South Wales is a very small place. Plus, I'm married.

Hi Alice/Tone/Marcia 👋

Do people honestly think stuff like this is funny?! It's so overdone and wasn't funny 10 years ago.
