Deceiving profile photo, here, don't you agree?


Looking way too handsome in that photo!

That photo is at least 15 years old and maybe older. In this Bloodline photo: http://static.srcdn.com/slir/w700-h350-q90-c700:350/wp-content/uploads/Ben-Mendelsohn-in-Bloodline.jpg he looks the same to me just older. A lot of actors' profile pics aren't kept current and they probably should be. Back then he was playing romantic leads in Australia. While I don't find him traditionally handsome I still think he's appealing.

Ben, in romantic australian films? I have to check those out! Because, right now, I mostly associate him with desperate criminals who get themselves in deep trouble all the time :-)

...he is not traditionally handsome, no, but he is certainly a joy to watch, because of his talent. Kind of like Michael Shannon, Steve Buscemi or Will Macy.

I've checked out a lot of his Australian movies and it's really nice seeing him in a different role than what we're used to in the US. He used to be a teen idol over there as well and has been in films and shows since the late 80s.

It looks just like him

This guy has lovely eyes,a great bone structure and good hair. He's aging, but he's a nice looking man.

he's a bit like Mads Mikkelsen he's known just for Villain roles in US (by american audience) but did many different roles like romantic roles

reply

he's very handsome but the photo is old they must change it to a newer pic

I disagree - I think he looks MUCH more attractive now!!
