More Brit/UK boys...







James Purefoy
Another ROME alum. Yum!
(too bad he couldn't deal with wearing the "V for Vendetta Mask" which then went to Hugo Weaving)





Michael Sheen
A fine actor (esp. as "Tony Blair") but hot as UNDERWORLD's "Lucien."
Looking forward to his turn as one of the Volturi in Twilight Saga's NEW MOON.









Usually not into the overly "pretty boys" but Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is pretty hard to resist.








James McAvoy
First noticed him from BBC's SHAMELESS.
He only stayed on through series 1 and part of series 2 - I'm sure because his film career blasted off.
A real hottie - even though ATONEMENT was one of THE. WORST. MOVIES. EVER.







Max Beesley
Loved him in BBC's HOTEL BABYLON - but wtf happened to the subsequent episodes! BBC America, where art thou?





Look Around You
Peter Serafinowicz (Left) - tall, handsome, deep & gritty voice (was Darth Maul and Simon Pegg's nemesis on SPACED).








Daniel Craig
Hubba hubba as the new 007!
But, if the next Bond flick is as bad as QoS and NOT as good as Casino Royale, he'll have to come off the "i heart..." list!
(Must watch: Layer Cake)










BBC's Little Britain
David Walliams and Matt Lucas

HBO made the smart move of picking up these comic brilliants, but it came a bit too late and the transition to American humor was a bit of a letdown.

However, none of that takes away from their genius of British wit, physical comedy, and straight gross-you-out visual sight gags to make you laugh until you hurl.

The show was moved brilliantly to the stage for performances in front of a live audience which I got to attend in 2006 (I think?) at the Hammersmith Apollo. I was two seats away from the guy who got picked to go on stage for a gag, but I guess the joke only worked if a guy was chosen, so no hard feelings, boys.
