>I couldn't agree more, Suky. Down with facial hair!
Glad I'm not alone, Eva! Bummer about the goatee in LIL. At least he's clean-shaven in Miss Marple! And he sure does look good in that King Lear pic. (The play opens this Tuesday! Anybody here planning to see it? I can't wait to hear all about it.)
Just to give you an idea how big a difference facial hair makes (especially disconnected clumps of it, as in goatees, mustaches, etc.) ... before I knew who DW was, I went to see Time After Time on a friend's recommendation--she said there was this actor in it I would think was cute. So I sat through the first twenty minutes wondering who she meant ... until he got rid of the mustache. Turns out my friend knows me really well! Of course, I quickly came to appreciate his brilliant *performance*. :-) And he's been my favorite actor ever since. (Beauty and talent in one package, and an intelligent, down-to-earth nice person in real life--what more could you ask for in a favorite actor? Apart from more starring roles!)

>short salt-and-pepper (ginger-and-pepper?) hair.
"Ginger and pepper"--that's a good description. (Hmm, it's making me hungry!) BTW, have you seen Cast a Deadly Spell? I think he had one of his best haircuts in that; he looks kind of matinee-idolish. (He was also really good in it too! He plays another one of those suave, sardonic baddies that nobody else can play quite the way he does.)
They sure did assemble a great cast for In the Beginning, didn't they? I confess, after DW's part was done, I never watched the rest of it (even Christopher Lee couldn't compel me), so I'd love to hear someone else's review. Should I bother with it?
>PS Senator Sandar was sort of cute-for an ape! Think
>of poor Tim Roth!
Well, Sandar certainly had nice eyes ... and fingers! Cuz that's about all of DW you get to see! Even his voice is a little distorted because of all the ape prosthetics.
I saw Tim Roth on a talk show once saying that he loved playing bad guys. I found that interesting because he played one of the most despicable villains I ever saw in Rob Roy. I still feel icky thinking about him in that movie. (And I think he's good-looking too.) Meanwhile, DW could play Jack the Ripper and make me swoon! Go figure!
