The Latin Lover
The Sheik
(1921)
remind you of anyone?
Some time ago I was commenting on AllthingsRichardArmitage Blog about Spooks Season 8.5 and how expressive are Richard Armitage's eyes as the character Lucas North. The screencaps here are very good in showing his emotional turmoil as he discovers that his lover is not quite what she seems.
More brooders:
Yul Brynner
as the King of Siam in The King and I (1956)
and as Ramses in The Ten Commandments (1956)
Here is a fansite dedicated to Yul Brynner:
Omar Shariff
I think this screen cap is from Dr. Zhivago (1965)
Johnny Depp
as Jack Sparrow in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean (2003).
But nobody can brood like this guy!
Richard Armitage
as John Thornton in North and South BBC 2004.
And here he is again, brooding up a storm as Guy of Gisborne,
a thwarted lover to Maid Marian, in the BBC's production of
Robin Hood (2006-2009)
This is my first ever Youtube video, (although it's really only a slideshow set to music) using Window's Live Movie Maker, so it's pretty beginner stuff, but I hope you like it anyway.
And he's still at it, brooding again...
this time as John Porter in Sky1's production of
Chris Ryan's Strike Back 2010.
Wouldn't you like to know what he's thinking about?
(Make sure your screen saver is in working order...
or he might just burn a hole right through your computer screen!)
