Ok, I forgot--Russell Tovey in the Vampire show 'Being Human" in the UK--once again, I just KNOW it must be exactly the same in the US version, RIGHT??
Thank you for being you, Russell! We appreciate it! :D 8)

Greek mythology AU! Dionysus! Danny and young prince Alex :D
Working on my fix-it comic is so tiring and somehow my head comes out with this when I found out that Ben was in theatre play playing Dionysus. And Ed [Holcroft] is just looks like a beautiful greek sculpture. WOOF!! I AGREE!!
So the AIU goes: Dionysus met Alex when he wanderers the earth and told him that his name is Danny and lured him into the wood using his wine or grape and so on…
I’ll just leave it here and get back to work. o<-<

I knew I had seen Russell Tovey in something, and I finally realized what: he was the main guest star in Sherlock, the Baskerville episode. Where he remained fully clothed at all times, I believe.
That Greek mythology fanart is very lovely, btw.

He was actually out to himself and friends when he was 16, but when he told his parents at 18, It Did Not Go Well. (The father said he wished he knew it earlier so he could have Russell "fixed". With, say, hormone injections. Anyway, by the time his son became famous (in "The History Boys" around 22-23 years old) the father got over it. Funny how that happens. (Too bad for the gay sons who do NOT get famous.)
Anyway, lots of people didn't really know Tovey was gay because he just has a very 'blokey' affect. (Like his character 'Rudge' in "The History Boys" or his character 'Steve' in the British TV series "Him & Her"--4 seasons: 2010-2013.) However, by the time he got the part in HBO series "Looking", well--EVERYBODY knew he was gay, gay, GAY!
He doesn't only do shirtless, by the way--this scene from the very hetero "Him & Her" was QUITE, uhm, WARMLY RECEIVED by the audience! (Can you IMAGINE showing this to an American audience? ("Show me your bum. Now wiggle it.") Omg. I can't EVEN.

And what has your sainted aunt got to do with it? :laugh:
He does have a sort of "blokey" look to him, doesn't he? I don't think I've seen him anywhere, but somehow the face looks familiar,
Nice Adonis belt. ...
Thanks for the pics, John. :-*
Incidentally, Tom Rob Smith is pretty ruggedly handsome himself.

Ok, now I AM going to have to watch that!! ;D
However: Sherlock abounds (and rebounds) in London Spy--co-creator, writer of Sherlock, Mark Gatiss, and, by the way, who also plays the character Mycroft Holmes (Sherlock's brother) in his own, older series, is now revealed to be the bored psychopath/record producer in Episode 3 ("Blue") in Tom Rob Smith's London Spy--
