Eh. I realize that finding the Thomas I visualize is going to be impossible but I still can't accept NPH. Given who Thomas is, the actor we choose should make me have to struggle really hard not to lust and NPH doesn't do that. Matt Bomer does that...but he doesn't look exactly like Thomas looks in my head. I can make the sacrifce for exact appearance easier, though, than I can accept someone who lacks that innate sexual magnetism that is so essential.

My wife would leave me for Matt Bomer in a heartbeat.

That movie was kinda terrible I thought the plot was strung out and the villians were easily beat

You'll notice I called it a guilty pleasure. Not great by any strech but a fun action movie and totally enjoyable. And the fact that the scenery was so nice the whole way through didn't hurt for the female action movie fans such as myself. ;)

Then again, she'd leave me sooner for Antonio Banderas, or Michael Praed (during his Robin Hood days.)

Lol! Must say, she has exceptional taste. How about Gerard Butler? The other day my dad mentioned his accent for some role and my mom and I both uttered a unison and dreamy "Yeah...". He said he wasn't sure he liked how we said that - I guess he's got the same thing on the mind as you, Bujin. ;)

I'm almost positive that she doesn't know who Gerard Butler is..... we're pretty elderly, and she doesn't really keep up with pop culture stuff.  She does love Scottish accents, though.  She's seen Braveheart at least 6 times, and I doubt it was the plot.

She does indeed have good taste.  Straight or not, Michael Praed was so pretty that I would have given him a second look.   :)

Ah - just be greatful she doesn't know him, lol. ;) And I adore Braveheart myself! (And like her, its not just for the plot.)  ::)

At least she has good tastes. And she picked you so you can look at her interest in cool Hollywood guys as a complement if you want. (That's what I'm hoping my husband will do, lol.) ;)

Ooh, I mentioned him and you're right, he would make a great Kincaid. I could totally picture him as the tough mercenary and I think he could very believably play up the soft spot for Ivy as well. However, I think we'd have to make an exception about the hair if he were going to play the role. I think the long hair would look forced on him and that would really spoil the tough assassin image.

Wow, that is Marcone! He will now officially play Marcone in my head as I read the upcoming books. Thanks, Icecream!  ;D

Sure. But it'll have to wait until after he's completed acting lessons.
