OK. I just checked into Gray Warrior's Snape thread...

[fudge stripe cookays]

and I'm not sure what I just saw. Or was supposed to see. I like Rickman as an actor and all, but the tango at a gas station thing just sorta missed me.

If I gotta take an older man, let me choose my favorite Canadian. An exotic mix of Mohawk Indian and Jewish genes, and hotter'n Georgia asphalt!

What say ye, ladies?
Favorite gentlemen of a certain age? Other than Snape, I mean.

:hi:

1. This gentleman of a certain age gets top billing in my R rated mind movies

Jeremy Irons

[fudge stripe cookays]

2. Not bad,

but I just keep thinking of "Dead Ringers." And that keeps cronenberging my fantasies all to hell.

:scared:

[sarge43]

4. Check out HBO's Elizabeth I with Helen Mirren

That should bring your fantasies back to where they belong. He plays Sweet Robin to her Bess.

[fudge stripe cookays]

5. Meh...

Sorry. Just ain't seeing it. I'm an Anglophile and all, but he just ain't doing it for me.

[CBHagman]

19. Now THAT'S a great line.

...that keeps cronenberging my fantasies all to hell.

Don't you just hate when that happens? :rofl:

3. but he's not wearing his state-issued tuxedo...

even mr. damon has been known to rep the fad.

[fudge stripe cookays]

6. ??

I'm not sure what that is.

[IzaSparrow]

7. Canadian tuxedo....

jean jacket worn while wearing jeans for pants.

[fudge stripe cookays]

11. Aah! Got it.

I'm married to a Canadian. I shoulda got that one!

[zabet]

8. Sam Elliott

:loveya:

[FloridaJudy]

9. My favorite older Canadian guy

Leonard Cohen

[MorningGlow]

10. I love, love, love Alan Rickman

And I totally respect Gray Warrior's taste. But...I didn't get it either--in that video, dude just looked bored. HOWEVER, in his movie roles, when he's not phoning it in like in this vid, he definitely does it for me. :hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. I think you pegged it.

He just looked bored. My Robbie's smoldering. :D

[Tektonik]

12. check your PM fsc

:hi:

[Richardo]

13. I can speak for Mrs R's infatuation with Tom Skerrit

Especially in his 'Picket Fences' days. He's about 30 years older than she is.

[Connonym]

14. Paul Newman :sigh:

[fudge stripe cookays]

15. NOW, we're talking!

Liberal, and married to the same woman for 40-50 years....Whadda man! :loveya:

[hotforteacher]

16. My love for Alan got replaced across the Channel:

[lost-in-nj]

17. Tom Berenger

lost

[supernova]

20. Sean Bean does it for me,

even though he's only 48.

Just everything about him is *sigh* His looks, his chiseled jaw, the aquiline nose, the deep voice (sometimes in pitch perfect RP, depending on the role.) But especially the emotional intensity. He has it in a way that no other actor does. In spades.
