The RICHARD ARMITAGE Appreciation Thread - Showbiz

Lennie · 28-10-2008, 22:32

An appreaciation for the talented and handsome Richard Armitage who is currently in Spooks and Robin Hood and has been in North and South and The Vicar of Dibley

I am seeing alot of him lately

and i cant wait till Robin Hood Series 3 returns, i love him as Guy Gisbourne - the character is very complex, there's many sides to him esp when he is with Marian and to see what happens next esp after a shocking Series 2 finale and i like the pairing of Guy and Marian

I havent seen North and South yet, but i know ppl have said its great and loved Richard in it

And just like him i was born in Leicester as well, and currently living

Any Richard fans?

Hi, I'm Aimee and I'm a Richard-aholic. The first thing I ever saw him in was North and South - such a beautiful piece of period drama with fantastic acting all round. This is where Richard first caught my eye. Have been following Robin Hood avidly and am enjoying his turn as Guy of Gisbourne immensely. Now, I have taken to watching Spooks, which I have never watched before, and found myself enjoying it too.

Nice to see that there are other fans out there!

JellyKate · 28-10-2008, 23:50

Let's just say that my husband has always been the Spooks viewer in our house and I have never watched it...until this series, when I am also watching it, but not for the drama, for the totty! Have been slavering over him since North and South...

Lennie · 29-10-2008, 11:49

Hi

I use to watch Spooks now and again, but i have to start watching every episode for the lovely Richard Armitage

I thought Richard also looked so handsome in Vicar of Dibley

changa · 29-10-2008, 12:14

*stands up for Richard*

Another massive fan here. Have loved everything he's ever done. He's a great actor and is also the most beautiful man I've ever seen.

Lennie · 29-10-2008, 22:29

Was Richard at the NTA's today?

Gill P · 29-10-2008, 22:37

My sister and I saw him - in the flesh - in Foyles bookshop in Charing Cross Road. Absolutely gorgeous in real life - long black leather coat, black trousers.

He was on Breakfast earlier in the week talking about Spooks.

Lennie · 29-10-2008, 23:03

^ i am jealous, he does look great in black, i just imagine him as Guy

No he went back to Budapest on Monday night to continue filming RH.

Gill P · 30-10-2008, 22:20

On Breakfast he said he is bringing a little of Guy of Gisbourne into the part of Lucas North in Spooks. What do you think of the tattoos?

pinkpoppy71 · 04-01-2009, 19:51

Agreed. He is fantastic!

Starring in one epi of BBC daytime drama next year too

tranquilized07 · 04-01-2009, 20:11

i've like Richard since North and South

im not one for period dramas but that was a really good *think i might have to watch my dvd again*

not keen on Robin Hood,loved The Golden Hour haven't seen Spooks though.

LnMidna · 04-01-2009, 20:16

There's a boy in my anatomy class who looks like him. No wonder I failed the exam

666Elvira · 05-01-2009, 15:51

He should have been the new Dr Who, imagine him in that he'd be fabulous.

Dr Todd · 05-01-2009, 17:17

A big Richard fan here!

First saw him in Cold Feet - that series from years ago with John Thompson, Hermione Norris, James Nesbitt etc. He wasn't a main character, he was a gym instructor (I think) who had an affair with the Aussie girlfriend/wife of John Thompson's character.

Anyway, I thought then he was a bit lovely..... and now he's everywhere and I can get my fix more or less every day. Hurrah!

h007 · 06-01-2009, 08:39

omg i loved this guy in north and south!
lol hands up who had abit of a turn when he was saying 'look back at me'

also loving lucas in spooks
not so keen on robin hood though - but thats about the program itself

mmm think i will rewatch n&s soon!

sunnymeg · 06-01-2009, 15:20

He is brilliant in Sparkhouse, he can really act and shows it in this production. He plays a bit of a solid honest bloke who is led a dance by the lead female character. Well worth picking up on DVD or recording if it is ever repeated.

cressida100 · 06-01-2009, 16:12

Love him as Guy Gisbourne.

So handsome. Still like him in Spooks but I do not lust after him in the same way in that

Loving the long hair.

I know why is that

martinamerlot · 07-01-2009, 12:03

*That* scene at the end of North and South gets me every time, as does the scene where he says 'look back at me'... *sigh* Plus he looks fetching in black leather as Guy, of course!

Oh dear, that's me unable to do any work for a while!

Somebody made a Cold Feet/RA fan video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79-vl5YFaaI

I noticed all the Cold Feet clips with his character Lee are on Youtube, as well.

John Standring was such a lovely part for Richard. He did such a fantastic job. Sparkhouse fan video (be sure to watch the very end, past the credits--it's one of the best parts):
