That's David Tennant before Harry Potter, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller before Sherlocks, Hugh Bonneville and Dan Stevens before Downton, Tom Hardy before Baine and Tom Hiddleston before Loki. I concede that most of you probably know Richard Armitage from North and South, but how many of you knew of this film 18 months before its BBC release and had your sister record it on VHS then send it to you in California where you were living for the summer and upon receiving it you watched it straight through even though you'd just gotten back from a week of girls' camp in the wilderness and hadn't showered? I didn't think so.

Yes, I am aware of my obsessive and competitive tendencies.

  3. Why isn't JJ Fields in more stuff? Also I"m going through a SERIOUS Tom Hiddleston thing right now.

  4. I'm pretty sure the only one I beat you with the "I saw him first" is Tom Hardy but that's only because I watch R rated movies. Black Hawk Down, I wouldn't have a clue who he is or was nor do I really care. I IMDB'd him because I was sure I'd seen him in something before Inception, at least. I'm pretty sure I saw Robin Hood before I saw North And South, I was definitely late to that bandwagon.
