Who Are Your 'Hotties'?

[ithildin]

Talking with pat_t this morning, in the course of a comment lovefest of Methos (yes, huge surprise) that Adrian Paul just isn't my cup of tea. And that I'm sure I have 'crushes' that aren't widely shared [g] So, who are you're own personal 'hotties'? I'm going to split this up between real people, and characters. Sometimes, I'll love a character, but the actor in RL not so much. For example: Aragorn in the LotR movies:[THUD] But not Viggo (though I'm sure he's a very nice man and all). His voice is different, his colouring, so it's Aragorn all the way for me.

My not at all inclusive lists...

Peter Wingfield
Nigel Bennett
Hugh Laurie
Johnny Depp
Keith Urban
Karl Urban
Ken Watanabe

Characters...

Methos
LaCroix
Greg House
Jack Sparrow
Aragorn
Eomer
Jack O'Neill
Theoden
Adam Dalgliesh

Oh and let me add David Selby who played two of my favorite characters:

Quentin Collins on Dark Shadows and Richard Chandler on Falcon Crest.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Ooh! David Selby! I can relate to that choice [g] I loved the character of Richard Chandler.

[pat-t.livejournal.com]

I know. Falcon Crest was great. I have it on my list at tvondvd for shows I'd like to see put to dvd. I don't know why they haven't released it yet. Alot of great stars were on it: Robert Foxworth, Jane Wyman, Fernando Lamaz, Susan Sullivan and more. And of course, David who was fantastic as Richard. Hot sex scenes too.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It was a really good series, and Richard was so compelling and angsty :)

[viridian.livejournal.com]

I soooooo agree on Aragorn but not Viggo.

And to the character but not actor list I'll also say Wesley Wyndam-Pryce but not Alexis Denisof. Alexis is hot but his real-life voice is just odd, and he's just sort of pretty to look at but not really in an interesting way. He needs the British accent (not to mention the ANGST) to make him more than just superficially attractive.

Johnny Depp, though? There's NOTHING you can do to that man to make him unattractive. Nothing EVER.

I think I like Methos but don't care one way or another for Peter Wingfield. Though the only other thing I've seen him in was an ep of Smallville and I barely remember it, so the jury's out.

Hmm. As for my real list... it's like a mile long, lol. I have so many fictional and actor-crushes.

I think I like Methos but don't care one way or another for Peter Wingfield

*gasps*

Well, I've had the pleasure of meeting Peter in person (and I'm sure Pat can add to this) several times, so I'm biased I suppose. But in person he has a definite 'presence'. Very charming, funny, genuinely seems like a kind man. The physical aspect aside, he's very attractive just as a person. Add the physical aspect, and yowza! [g]

[viridian.livejournal.com]

See, that probably makes all the difference. I can only judge by the one character. But presence does make all the difference. :)

"Aragorn in the LotR movies:[THUD] But not Viggo "

Have to agree on this one. Love the dark look but not the natural look.

Real Life

Peter Wingfield
Adrian Paul (solely on looks)
Michael Biehn
Hugh Jackman

Characters
Methos
LaCroix
Duncan MacLeod
Gen Maximus (Gladiator - Russel Crowe)
Darius (very peaceful)
Aragorn
Joshua (Ten Commandments - 1st screen crush)

[cyberducks.livejournal.com]

I don't really crush on actors per se - more on certain roles they play - grins, anybody who has read my lj pretty much knows who my faves are....

Methos - I do think PW is a very attractive man, and he comes across like a nice man - so Mrs.Wingfield is a lucky woman

Jack Harkness - John Barrowman is a beautiful man with a beautiful voice, but crushing on him I don't. It's all about the character there.

Ian McShane is a terrific actor, and so is John Simms, I also like Sean Bean and Toby Stephens.

And there are all my favourite literary characters, who are always good for some lovely fantasies...

[sophiedb.livejournal.com]

Yay, John Simm! Might I nudge you in the direction of lifein1973? :)

[cyberducks.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot Paul Bettany - I really like him and his acting - especially his Stephen Maturin and his Chaucer.

[beccadg.livejournal.com]

and his Chaucer

Hee! Chaucer love!!

[sophiedb.livejournal.com]

In no particular order:

Johnny Depp (first crush was a tie between him and River Phoenix *lol*)
Hugh Jackman
Peter Wingfield
Sean Bean
Paul Bettany

(I also seem to meander between liking Christian Bale and thinking he's a wanker *shrug*)

There's a definite liking for Jack O'Neill and Greg House too, bless their crankinesses.

[lilliew.livejournal.com]

My "hotties" right now are:
Hugh Jackman
David Wenham
Sean Bean
Matthew McConaughey

Characters:
Faramir
Boromir
Aragorn
Eomer
Nick Knight
Vachon
John Sheridan
Marcus Cole

[beccadg.livejournal.com]

Hee! Vachon love!!

I'd squee at the Marcus Cole love too, but I do not have an icon for him. :o

[jinxed-wood.livejournal.com]

Like Cyberducks, I'm more into the characters actors portray, rather than the actors themselves - the exception being Johnny Depp, of course :-)

Characters:

Methos (doh)

Doctor Who (No. 4 - I had such a crush on him as a kid)

Jack O'Neill (and they are a surprising amount of people who agree with me on this comment list. Usually, I find, people prefer Daniel)

Spike (I know, I know, but he was so cute, in a psychotic kind of way)

John Sheppard (a rather recent addition which snuck up on me...I wasn't that fond of him at first)

And the most embarrassing one of all…Logan…who is way too young to be on my list, but seems to have crept onto it, nevertheless…

[dracschick.livejournal.com]

Lacroix = very hot:)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Speaking of LaCroix, I just read Nigel has been nominated for a best actor in a drama Gemini!

that's great!

[dracschick.livejournal.com]

He's an amazing actor. Lacroix was such a fun, complex, multi-layered character. Maybe someday, I'll take a shot at writing a FK story:)

[bleukittie.livejournal.com]

Yeahhhh!!!! Another person who thinks AP is not the hottest thing in the universe!! I'm not alone !!!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

LOL! No, you're definitely not alone :) Different strokes and all that [g]

[pat-t.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Well, of course he's not the *hottest* thing. Peter holds that title. Well, him and a few thousand other hot and sexy guys. But Adrian is adorable *most* of the time. That's okay though. We still love you.

Sometimes, I'll love a character, but the actor in RL not so much. For example: Aragorn in the LotR movies:[THUD] But not Viggo.

Hmm, I hadn't thought about it from that perspective, but it's true there are times I love both the actor and the character, and other times when I love one but not the other. I mean I'm quicker to think of things I sat through for an actor I like and then went, "God that man owes me 8 dollars and two hours of my life back." The characters I love and-or lust after I contemplate all the time. My favorite characters are the ones on my list here (http://beccadg.livejournal.com/14597.html).

I haven't done an actor list, I guess because I don't spend much time thinking about them as I do the character, but here are a few of my favorites at this particular moment...

Peter Wingfield
Julian McMahon
Kevin Spacey
Val Kilmer
Paul Bettany
Heath Ledger
Sean Bean

[pat-t.livejournal.com]

Let me add Angel on my list of characters too. Not as crazy for the actor - not that anything is wrong with him - but he doesn't have the charisma and presence that his character does.
