Shallow Al

Today & tomorrow I'm going for the "Eeek - he doesn't really look like THAT, does he?" line... a couple of actors I've been introduced to in one particular role and thought "Ooo... he's a bit of okay", and then I've seen them out of character and thought "Dear god, he looks like an old school teacher I had!" (and, trust me, we didn't have sexy school teachers!).

First up, Toby Stephens, who I saw playing Rochester in the BBC adaptation of "Jane Eyre", and there he was - all brooding good looks and tortured soul...

And here he is how he is normally.... and he's well, POSH looking - a bit like Hugh Grant... He really does look like a frightfully posh boarding school teacher!

No, wait - I've sussed who he looks like...

All he needs is a big "H" in the middle of his forehead, and he's a dead ringer for Arnold J. Rimmer from Red Dwarf!

:-D
