What fun
I'm so glad to know I'm not insane to drool over Alan Rickman. Just the voice alone is worth the price of admission.
Also, my SO already knows I will run away with Stephen Colbert at first opportunity. The frosting on the cake as far as I'm concerned is his LOTR geekdom.
Other nominees. I, like others, was disappointed by the vanilla color of Salon's choices:
-- Laurence Fishburne. Forget Keanu Reeves. Fishburne's the reason to watch the Matrix (though not necessarily its sequels).
-- Neveen Adams. his was the performance of English Patient.
-- Fareed Zakaria. am I the only person to find him kind of hot? he's the only reason to watch the tiresome cliched Sunday morning shows. everyone else is cocooned in their beltway world and attitude.
-- Benicio del Toro.
-- Andre Braugher. I wish someone would offer him a role that equaled Det. Pembleton of Homicide.
Well, here's my vanilla.
-- Viggo Mortensen, the renaissance man. Actor, artist, poet, athlete, took on the role of a lifetime at the behest of his son. and formerly married to a punk goddess!
-- Tim Gunn. forget Doogie Houser. this is the man to make a straight woman wish she were a gay man.
-- Neil Gaiman. the writing. the hair. the accent. but mostly the writing.
