True confession time: I have a huge crush on Rupert Penry-Jones. I don’t dream of him fallating my girlie bits, but he has been my muse on more than one occasion.
My predilection for intellectuals is widely known, and RPJ is spot on! Not only is he mind-numbingly hot, but he also hails from a dynasty of theatre practitioners* and he’s well-read. In fact, he’s a self-professed geek.
Be still my racing heart!
This delicious manwich’s charisma and intelligence could cause the spontaneous combustion of clothing! He’s a bad-ass who’ll screw your brains out, then do your taxes. What more can a gal ask for? Those bloody eyes are what! They induce orgasms.
When I heard he’d been cast as Capt. Wentworth in the 2007 adaptation of Persuasion, I died. Unlike other Jane Austen heros, Capt. Wentworth was personable yet maintained his rigid exterior. RPJ was a perfect match! The DVD is worth the purchase. In the meantime my girlfriend has a ton of movies online...Persuasion being one of them. Click to view her channel.
And don’t get me started on his role as Adam Carter on “Spooks/MI5”. I cried like a baby when they topped him. He gave ‘Adam’ a strong will, and compassion which wasn’t only admirable but it left the viewers feeling empty when they killed him off. One of the writers on the show said there was dead silence after filming. I imagine so! I’m a MI5 fan, and his exit was difficult to stomach.

he's cute, never seen any of the movies you mentioned, but I'll definitely check 'Persuasion,' I love it when British actors do justice to any of Ms. Austen classic tales.

That's what razors are for! If his legs are any gauge, he isn't too hairy. Thank goodness because I'd have to give him up. Hair is a deal breaker. :)
Aidan Turner is pushing it! Someone please make him shave! |

I'd do him, marry him, give him a shitload of babies even if he looked like Sasquatch. That man is deliciously gorgeous. Have you seen that man in Persuasion?? I wouldn't even shave him. Just the way he is...yes baby, just like that! yep!

Heidi, I knew you'd say that! LOL! He's quite yummy, isn't he? "Persuasion" sealed his fate...he was the perfect Capt. Wentworth. *Swoon*

It takes a lot to make me cry but watching Adam die kills me every time. Thanks Sissy. You made me cry. Remember everyone screaming 'nnoooo!' when it aired?

OMG!! I've never seen the show before but I can't stop watching the clip. Does it air in the US? Thank you for the post Tracy. I LOVE YOUR SITE!

Thank you so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the site. We're all one big family so please feel free to join right in. :)
Check your local PBS listings...MI5 is normally on the schedule. The box set is well worth the asking price. |

Thanks for suggesting 'Whitechapel'. Just watched the first episode. Great show.

I figured the guys would like "Whitechapel" as much as the women. It's earthy and Phil Davis, the actor who plays Ray Miles, has a perfect East End accent. Not an "er", "th", or "r" in sight!

I'm gonna be up all night. I'm hooked. Why didn't you tell me the first series was a copycat Jack the Ripper? We studied the case in college. Thanks again.

Okay I just watched the clip and all I have to say is "that was so wrong". I've never even seen the show and I was hurt watching him die. That messed up showing us that clip. I'll have to check out "Persuasion". I love everything Jane Austen.

Cali, I thought about it after I finished the post. Sod it! "MI5" is one of those shows you watch with one foot out the door...they kill off everyone sooner or later...not like American shows where minor characters bite it. Nope, this is British and everyone is up for grabs. Happy viewing!!
