I was informed by a friend that I have a 'thing' for older British men.

I will admit that I absolutely love Colin Firth (né 1960).
There are a slew of his movies that I have yet to see, including 'The King's Speech'.  Last Friday I watched 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (Scarlett Johansson was gorgeous as well) and 'Valmont' (an earlier version of 'Cruel Intentions') for the first time.  I also rewatched 'Easy Virtue' (especially for the tango between Firth and Jessica Biel) and parts of 'Love Actually'.



It seems, however, that I have a great love of Scottish actors as well.


 I fell in love with David Tennant (né 1971) as the tenth Doctor Who.  When I have a bit more time I plan to follow his other works, especially 'Hamlet' and the upcoming 'Much Ado About Nothing' with Catherine Tate.

Along a similar vein I also love John Barrowman (né 1967).  He was born in Scotland and moved to the U.S. when he was eight.  I discovered him in 'Torchwood' (a new season is coming soon!) but then discovered that he can sing.  Boy can he ever sing.  I also love his personality- energetic, loving, and outgoing.  I wish I could be friends with him. :)

And then there is Tony Curran (né 1969) whom I'd seen in 'Underworld: Evolution' and then he appeared as Vincent van Gogh in Season 5 of Doctor Who.  I have since seen him in several tv shows in smaller roles (ex/ 'The Mentalist') The other night when I finally watched 'Ondine' I found him again.








I don't know if it's a 'thing' per-se, I just love watching them act.  :)

I really must get working so that I'm ready for tomorrow.
