Share your current strange crushes

[nytemare]

I start one of these goofy threads every so often, as I am attracted to strange people.

Now it is Steve Buscemi and the young Peter Lorre. Strange, I tell you.






And you, DU?

1. Lately, I've had this thing for car insurance associates...

3. FLO, FTW!

Heh. Flo is funny.

[siligut]

2. Steve Buscemi is amazing in Boardwalk Empire

I have always enjoyed him as an actor, but actually see him as a romantic figure in Boardwalk Empire.

How about Tim Roth for an unusual interest?

Especially since my attraction started after watching him as the swaggering know-it-all, Dr. Lightman in, Lie To Me?

[nytemare]

4. I'm trying to think of a movie I saw Roth in..

and I can't even remember the plot.. dangit.

He is a hell of an actor.

[Chan790]

5. Possibly Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?

or something directed by Tarentino?

[siligut]

6. He was Mr. Orange to Steve's Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs.

I think I remember him most from Little Odessa: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110365/

I agree, he is one helluva an actor.

[nytemare]

7. You know, he actually directed it, The War Zone

disturbing film. I remember watching him being interviewed on it. I had to search IMDB, it was making me batty.

:hi:

[siligut]

8. I can imagine it is intense

Netflix has it on instant watch and it is now in my queue. It is described as Dark, Cerebral and Understated, all things I like, but I am going to have to wait to be in the mood for it.
Here is the blurb from Netflix:

After moving with his family from London to Devon, 15-year-old Tom (Freddie Cunliffe) discovers that his father (Ray Winstone) and 18-year-old sister, Jessie (Lara Belmont), have been silent partners in a secret pact, unbeknownst to his pregnant mother (Tilda Swinton). In his award-winning directorial debut, actor Tim Roth delivers a dark and disturbing family drama based on a novel by Alexander Stuart.

:hi:

[muffin1]

13. He was great

in Rob Roy. Evil, but great!

[smirkymonkey]

28. We have the same taste in men! I think they are both incredibly

sexy, but not conventionally good looking.

[lukasahero]

9. I guess this qualifies as strange

I've been crushing on William Fichtner for 20+ years. Incredible, under-rated actor. I can't understand why he's not a bigger name.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. I like him too. :^) Another weird crush of mine is

Dr. Dubenko from ER.

[lukasahero]

21. Oh I love Dr. Dubenko too!

(I was hoping for a Neela/Lucien hook-up!)

[nytemare]

23. He had a great role in "Contact"

Great character actor. I like finding films where leading roles are given to actors who normally play supporting roles, such as The Visitor with Richard Jenkins. Those films are true gems.

[IcyPeas]

48. Sheriff Tom Underlay - Invasion

He started off creepy and then I got a tremendous crush on him too. I wish that show was renewed. I was so bummed when it was canceled after just one season.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. I have a huge crush on Lisbeth Salander. She rocks my world!

otherwise known as an adult Pippi Lockstocking :D

[LynneSin]

11. I have a crush on Fantastic Mr. Fox!

I thought they would ruin this movie but Wes Anderson created a masterpiece. I mean the book wasn't that long but how Anderson filled it out was genius - it remained true to the original plot but enhanced.

And something about a Fox with the voice of George Clooney - Wowza!!!!

[siligut]

15. What? No Eric Northman?

AKA Sweden's sexiest star, Alexander Skarsgård.



Just watched S3 again, Eric is such a rogue. What's it gonna be a fanger or a fox?

[LynneSin]

16. That's not a strange crush

I mean nothing strange to have a crush on an actor from sweden vs. a crush on an animated fox

[siligut]

18. I thought it was a vampire you have a thing for.

And Old Mark chose Marg, gads who doesn't have a thing for her?

[Brickbat]

12. Laurence Fox

[ceile]

29. he's just yummy.

love his voice.

[old mark]

14. Marg Helgenberger, ever since China Beach.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marg_Helgenberger



don't tell my wife, please.


mark

[bigwillq]

17. Why is that strange?

I think Marg is HOT!! I think red heads are sexy!! :)

(I won't tell your wife! :))

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not strange at all. :^)

[old mark]

22. Sorry, but she is as strange as I get....nt

[old mark]

26. ...and Pauley Perrette, too.....nt

[pacalo]

24. This home improvement guy...

Holmes on Homes:

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. I love me some Mike! :^D

[mcctatas]

25. If anyone ever asks me to confirm this as fact I will claim my DU account

was hijacked, but I have a thing for Billy The Exterminator

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t4lS59dV_xg/TFGR85uF2rI/AAAAAAAASYE/5Gz4KJQL2eY/s1600/billy+billy.jpg

[peacefreak]

27. OK, OK. I'll admit it.

Bill Nighy and Stellan Skagsgard are my strange crushes. I will always remain true to Colin Firth, however.;-)

[ceile]

30. Bruce Campbell

I wouldn't watch Burn Notice otherwise.

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Not weird. :^) I haven't seen that show but I always loved it when he

showed up on Xena or Herc.

[mvd]

31. I'm not sure - I guess you can call mine strange..

because I like a cute kind of prettiness more than the traditional kind. But for me, none of the big crushes deviate much from what I like, and there are no known Repukes.

Here's my current biggest crush list:

Actresses:

Alyssa Milano (known liberal/Democrat)
Natalie Portman (known liberal/Democrat)
Jennifer Connelly (known liberal/Democrat)
Kaley Cuoco
Zooey Deschanel (known liberal/Democrat)
Amber Tamblyn (known liberal/Democrat)
Sharon Case (plays Sharon on Young And The Restless) (supported Obama)
Adrienne Frantz (plays Amber on B&B) (known liberal/Democrat)
Olivia Wilde (definitely quite progressive - gets big points)
Elizabeth Hendrickson (plays Chloe on Y&R)
Alison Lohman (known liberal/Democrat)
Salma Hayek
Minka Kelly
Yvonne Zima (plays Daisy on Y&R)

HM: Ashley Greene, Kristen Stewart, Thandie Newton, Emma Stone, Candice Accola, Marnie
Schulenburg, Amanda Seyfried

Singers:

Alison Sudol (#1 crush right now - known Obama supporter; seems to be liberal even though she likes Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Odd combo., but she's on the right side from what I've seen)
Kelly Ogden (definitely liberal as her band was started out of fear Bush would end the world)
Andrea Corr
Michelle Branch
Joanna Pacitti (speaks positively about the President on Twitter when I see her comment on such things)
Matisse (good liberal - often bashes Beck and Repukes on her Twitter)

HM: Ingrid Michaelson, Cassadee Pope (assumed liberal since she likes a pop/punk band because of their liberal leanings), Bree Sharp (yep, liberal)

Other:

Kris Williams from GhostHunters (big supporter of the armed forces, but seems ok when she speaks out on politics)

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. I kinda got a girl crush on Zooey. She's so darn cute!

[mvd]

36. Hi, GreenPartyVoter - Zooey is adorable IMO

:-)

[gratuitous]

35. Teri Garr belongs to me and me alone

Even Mrs. gratuitous realizes that she doesn't stand a chance against her, and has come to terms with the fact that when Teri shows up on my doorstep, I'm walking forever. I'm sure it's only a matter of time, even after more than 40 years. I am a patient man.

[MiddleFingerMom]

40. Even as the neurotic stalker barmaid with the beehive and the 60's go-go boots...

43. Johnny-come-lately

You have to go back to here to prove your love for the scrumptious Ms. Garr:



:loveya:

[BlueJazz]

37. Lisa Randall, professor of theoretical physics. Super intelligent and Good-Looking'

[PassingFair]

38. Luke Pritchard. Totally unsuitable for a woman of my uncertain age....

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/20288989/Luke+Pritchard+The+Kooks.jpg


...of the Kooks.

His VOICE!

Oh edit:

"Ooh La"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pbtPpYxIjw&feature=fvw

[mvd]

39. I did think of a really strange one for me

Ke$ha. Definitely doesn't fit in with the list I posted above. But I find her to be interesting in her own weird way.

[stuntcat]

44. I get crushes on dead people, I call it retro-crush

last year I went over-the-moon for Buster Keaton


right now it's Anita O'Day


The good thing is they have so many songs and movies for me to take in. And since they're dead they can't do anything to disappoint me.

And young Peter Lorre!!!?? omg hawt!, hubba hubbas

[PassingFair]

45. Buster Keaton?! Charlie Chaplin was totally hotter!

[stuntcat]

46. oh gosh

hottie! HOT eeee

[Lucian]

47. Not strange, just someone you've never heard of:

Katie McGrath. :loveya: She plays Morgana on the show Merlin. Here's her IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2692146/

Edit to add a pic I found in google:
