Klaus Maria Brandauer

I don't care if he's older and balding. I'm crazy about a man who smiles...

...even when he doesn't smile all the time.

Johnny Depp

Sometimes, I go crazy for a decorated man: tattoos, jewelry, bandanas & hats.


Like a pirate...

"Y'know, you got them bad eyes, like a gypsy..." 

(Cher's character Loretta to Nicholas Cage's 

character Ronnie in Moonstruck)

Arrr! Shiver me timbers!

Vincent d'Onofrio

The first film I saw Vincent d'Onofrio in was Full Metal Jacket, where he played the chubby country-boy-turned-homocidal/suidical maniac, thereby firmly establishing his acting chops.

In most of his subsequent roles he portrayed moody, if not murderous, guys, including his role as Edgar in Men in Black (not pictured here, for obvious reasons).

I have a feeling the moodiness is built-in, not acting. If so, that inherent characteristic came in handy when Vincent moved to TV as Law & Order: Criminal Intent's dark and quirky Bobby Goren.

But look at this face! What a good boy!

Oops, you pissed him off.

He's always meticulously examining the body of evidence and psychoanalyzing the criminal's intent. (Oh! That's where they got the name of the show!) 

You can investigate my body of evidence

whenever you want, Bobby.

Vincent is one of those guys 

who just gets better with age.

I couldn't resist cropping the other woman out of the picture, but I didn't know how to splice my own photo into her place. Drat!

Tim Curry

Not a bad-looking man at all, but just wait until you get him into a black bustier and a garter belt. 

He's beyond sexy.

"I'm just a sweet transvestite from trans-sexual Transylvania."  Watch the best movie entrance ever at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc80tFJpTuo

"Come up to the lab and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici...pation. But maybe the rain isn't really to blame, so I'll remove the cause (heh, heh, heh) but not the symptom."

"Don't dream it. Be it."

CAUTION: If you've never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show, do NOT view it anywhere except in a film theatre with an audience who is experienced in performing their part of the film. 

Do not rent it or download it or otherwise plan to watch it at home, because it won't make a bit of sense. College campuses are not good places to see it, either. Go to the midnight showing in a small art theatre in a big city.

Marlon Brando

What can I possibly say about this beautiful man that hasn't been said and written and thought about him ever since we first saw him?  Nothing, so let's just look at him.

 As Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951

As Marc Antony in Julius Caesar, 1953

As Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront, 1954

Clancy Brown

Clancy Brown is best known as the bad-ass Kurgan in the 1986 film, The Highlander.

We first meet The Kurgan as he slams a Queen tape into his car's cassette player and wheels his way into New York City to chop some heads. I get chills when Clancy delivers the line, "I know his name."  Watch this scene at:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLvnyOkOEOs

Here's a YouTube video of Clancy handling his sword and some Candy:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj8ws6u19n4&feature=related (It's in Italian, but you'll get what's going on.)
Clancy has played "softer" roles, such as that of Brother Justin Crowe in HBO's Carnivale, and I suppose he's okay this way....

... Nah.   This is better:
