It was your comment ("improbably handsome") that did it!

I guess the Arrow Shirt Man was improbably handsome, wasn't he?
In my choice of words I was channeling an early review I had read of Brokeback that described Heath and Jake as "improbably handsome" as Ennis and Jack.

They were. More improbable as Wyoming ranch hands than Chris Pine as Kirk. Starship captains usually are handsome.
BTW Jeff, why do you say he comes from "good acting stock"? Is he related to someone?

I've never had the pleasure of meeting a starship captain, so I wouldn't know about that. ;D
Chris Pine's father is Robert Pine, who I would say has never been a "star," really, but you might consider him a "yeoman actor" who's been working in the business for probably something like 40 years. To me Robert Pine is most memorable for having played Sgt. Getraer, Ponch and Jon's boss on CHiPs on TV more years ago than I care to remember. I looked him up on IMdB last week. The Pine name made me curious to know if they are related.

Thanks, Jeff.
It's funny that the profile doesn't provide a list of his acting credits. Is IMDb phasing those out in order to get people to go IMDbPro? Or is Robert Pine just a bit too obscure to warrant anyone compiling them, or what?
