Wizard and Time Bandit

David Warner wasn’t the only hunk to emerge from my recent review of Time Bandits. I distinctly remember developing quite the crush on David Rappaport, leader of the rogue time travelers. While this was most likely his most famous role, he also starred in a series called The Wizard, that after looking up on the very in-depth fan site, does tickle some long past memories for me.

I’m also fairly certain (though could find nothing to corroborate) that he starred in an unaired pilot based on the Mongo detective novels by George C. Chesbro.

I was absolutely distraught and dismayed to learn that he killed himself a while back after a long battle with depression.

Steely Eyed Heavy

I adored Titus Welliver as Silas on Deadwood, and was thrilled when he showed up as the man in black on Lost (whose casting team seems intent on featuring nearly all of Deadwood’s key actors – will the final episode star Ian McShane? That would be awesome). Last week’s episode dedicated to the telling of Richard’s story allowed more screen time for the now silvery haired and dreamily steely gazed hunk.

I hope more appearances on Lost are to follow, because as much as I love the guy I’m simply not willing to tune into The Good Wife.

Manly Sitcom Star

Sometimes I feel like the lone defender of Parks and Recreation, the good hearted comedy (in a genuine way – not the schmaltzy, after school special style of the increasingly annoying Community way) that gets better with each viewing. One of the highlights of watching every week is the surprisingly hunky libertarian moustached manly man, Ron Swanson played with dimple smirked charm by Nick Offerman.

Also known as Mr Mullally, the two were photographed in the buff recently for New York Magazine. It made my day. With a career of improv behind him, his more public roles have been few and sometimes questionable (see plumber role on King of Queens) but, to his credit, he’s still surprisingly boyishly and devilishly good looking without the mustache – which is not always the case with facial haired men.

The Marquis

Unless you indulge in as much BBC programming as I do, the lovely face of Paterson Joseph may not be entirely familiar to you – but let me tell you, he’s about as ubiquitous across the pond as this guy is stateside. Trial and Retribution, Peep Show, Dr Who, Murphy’s Law, Waking the Dead, and now even the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency!

Jim and I always refer to him as the Marquis, after his role in Neverwhere, which introduced us to the debonair thespian.

Wild Man

Fearless, crazy, talented, and bold, Dennis Hopper was the face of a new kind of masculinity – wild and free and unconventional and it’s so sad to hear that he’s losing his battle with cancer. Sure, he became the face of retirement savings and the new Republican Party, but before the white hair and suits he was the drug-eyed original Easy Rider, the nitrous oxide madman who made our skin crawl in Blue Velvet.

Below/after the jump are some favorite Hopper moments and looks. Here’s to you Dennis, who will surely achieve his goal:

“Like all artists I want to cheat death a little and contribute something to the next generation.”
