OLD MEN I WORSHIP AND ADORE. Seriously, it's not all eye candy with me, I have less shallow tastes too.
- Christopher Guest. I'd so do Christopher Guest. Yeah, he's aloof and he's a baron and he's surly in interviews, but man... Micheal McKean, too. And Harry Shearer. And Eugene Levy. Hell, I'd even do Fred Willard. If you're not familiar with the comedic oeuvre of these guys, go, now, seriously. Forget Spinal Tap and go straight for A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, For Your Consideration, anything you like, just WATCH. I love these men more than life. I watched a promo thing for For Your Consideration back when it came out, and it featured Ricky Gervais just being SO DAUNTED by the non-scripted improv process involved in all of Guest's films and it just made me laugh SO HARD. He was SHITTING himself that he wasn't going to manage to be funny. I can totally imagine where that would come from. IT'S ALL IMPROV, DUDES. How sexy are the brains of these guys? Seriously, HOW FUCKING SEXY??? Even Fred Willard's. "WHA HAPPENED???"
Oh, and dude, I didn't know Guest was married to Jamie Lee Curtis and has been for 20 years. Aces. My son LOVES Spinal Tap at the moment, to the extent that he'll now watch it with the commentary on, which makes me a very happy bunny indeed. "What happened to my jumpers?" "The dry cleaners wouldn't give them back." "Wasn't there a stain on them in the shape of Jesus or something?" *off-mic laughter* *Whelk dies of jollies* - Alan Fucking Thicke. If you haven't seen it, jPod is totally worth watching, all 13 episodes of it before it got cancelled by CBC. Alan Thicke has the smecksiest voice on the planet and he's incredibly deadpan and disconcertingly hot in it, as is his MILF of a wife. SOMEBODY GIVE ALAN THICKE A NEW JOB RIGHT NOW, the man should be on our screens ALL THE TIME.
- Neil Flynn. Janitor. Enough said, dudes. Especially that time when JD called him on having appeared in The Fugitive. I once had a sexy dream about Janitor. Considering the fact that I never really have particularly sexy dreams about ANYONE, that's pretty special.
- Philip Glenister. Enough said, yo. Mmmmmmm.

Date: 2008-05-08 10:00 am (UTC)My 21 year old self still can't believe that I would hit Fred Willard, but the 31 year old me totally would!
Except Janitor...I'm a Ted McGinley girl. Sorry.
I still haven't seen jPod, but so many people have raved about it that I'm attracted to Alan Thicke by association. Have you seen the new Robin Sparkles video? He's even popping up in those hip American shows too. (I actually love HIMYM.)
Rickman too. yummm
I'm gonna submit, for your approval, most of the men who've been in David Lynch projects: Kyle MacLaughlin, Miguel Ferrer, David Duchovney, Bill Pullman, Michael Ontkean, Dennis Hopper, and John Hurt (minus the weird mustache). Not Nic Cage or Sting, because I think they're tools.

Date: 2008-05-08 11:15 am (UTC)Oh yeah. I actually sat through a few episodes of Crossing Jordan for that man. I couldn't take it for long though. True about Duchovny too. I think he's more attractive when he's playing a role that involves taking his clothes off or dressing in drag. The X-Files, while a great show, did not play to his strengths.
Here's some classic and still hittable Fred Willard, along with the also hittable Martin Mull and Tom Waits.
