I am absolutely with you. I want to see him with white hair and fat cheeks and growing breasts and whatever - that's what he does. And he does it brilliantly. Not that I don't like the sexy, attractive pics but they are just one side of him. It's the Work that matters.

Very unselfish and sacrificing, Susi! But I'm with you in this matter

Thanks, Harriet, I am feeling very honoured. Although I am not totally selfless in this. Now and then I look at a pic just for the sake of beauty.

Harriet · October 4, 2013 9:05 am

You do? Oh!

SusiGo · October 4, 2013 9:07 am

I must admit, I do.

@Susi:
Exactly. I sometimes wonder how other actors don't get bored to death by basically repeating themselves over and over again (I could name names here, but I'd better not...). And I'm not just talking about the looks here and whether or not they look handsome in their roles or not, but even more about the choices they make. Of course it also depends on what gets offered to you, and I think that Benedict has made very clever choices so far. He doesn't seem to be in danger of getting typecast, he already showed such a variety of faces in his roles... he is so versatile! And what I probably love the most is that all of his films and projects so far are so clever and intelligent and sometimes even really important.
Oh, I could go on and on and on...

Couldn't agree more, Solar.

Okay, I rest my case. Perfection. To hell with acting talent.

SusiGo · October 4, 2013 9:16 am

Oh, that was not my intention.

Harriet · October 4, 2013 9:20 am

Love you guys!

SusiGo · October 4, 2013 9:26 am

Just what I needed this morning.

SolarSystem · October 4, 2013 9:29 am

It's all fine, Susi.
Actually, the more I see of "The Fifth Estate", the more this blond hair grows on me... haha, talking about acting talent, come on!

Oh, and likewise, Harriet!

Don't really care for the hair, but I still would

SusiGo · October 4, 2013 9:55 am

Did you see the b roll scenes from The Fifth Estate? I posted the link in the other thread. Brilliant to see him at work.

SolarSystem · October 4, 2013 10:01 am

Yes, Susi, I did see it, I already commented on it in the other thread. I generally love B-Rolls, it's just great to have a look behind the scenes. It's great to see him chat with the director or his colleagues, and then again to see him at work - before post-production, just his pure and pristine acting.

Totally with you!

I know this is not a BC quote but can't we all believe he would say it?

Plus, BabyBatch with glasses!

If we misbehave, will he punish us?

One can hope.
The TA in your 8AM English class is not pleased that you've been skipping class so much..... there WILL be consequences.
THUD

Only if we ask him very nicely.
