Have Always Found Him SO Attractive
I remember seeing him in an episode of Police Rescue (Australian show) when I was a little kid and he was BEAUTIFUL. I think he played the bad guy in it but it didn't matter to me, as an 8 year old kid I thought he was gorgeous - I guess back then he was about the age I a am now - 25 or 26.
As I got older, I always kept an eye on his career because he's a great actor and he was good to look at. Fell in love with him in Love My Way also. He has this talent for playing *beep* that you kind of love in spite of their flaws.
I saw The Place Beyond the Pines yesterday and was - firstly - amazed at how old and rough he looked. Secondly, I was amazed at just how attractive I still find him. Sure, he looks like the craggy, grey haired older brother of the gorgeous young guy I first saw on TV all those years ago, but there's still totally something about him.
I'm so glad he's finally getting his due, anyway. Hollywood discovered him a hell of a lot later than they should have. He's one of the best Australian actors out there.
