It’s raining men!

Categories: , , , ,

Birdienl is running a "Mr. Period Drama" competition over at her LiveJournal. Every day, one of her list of ten actors will be voted "off the island," until there's only one left. Four of these actors have appeared in Dickens adaptations: Richard Harrington (Bleak House), Matthew Macfadyen (Little Dorrit), Ioan Gruffudd (Great Expectations), and Hugh Dancy (David Copperfield).

Now, this is a beauty (or should I say handsomeness?) contest, so your votes are supposed to be based on appearance, not on how much you liked the characters they played. I know it's hard, but that's the rule, so do your best!

    How is that Ioan Gruffudd has only 5 votes? 🙁

    Marian, if you like him, that’s a good thing. 🙂 Remember, the idea is that we’re voting people OFF. So you vote for the person that you want to see leave the competition.

    Oh, that makes more sense then.. 😉 Well, I don’t have LJ, so I couldn’t vote anyway, but this should be interesting to follow.

    It wouldn’t let me vote, but I would vote for Toby Stephens as Rochester, which is entirely wrong, because Rochester isn’t supposed to be pretty, which Toby Stephens is. But he was such a good brooder.

    Oh, sorry about that. I thought it was open to everyone.
