Happy Birthday: Richard Armitage!

I almost forgot so I am typing this one out quickly because it would be absolutely terrible if I neglected to wish a huge

Happy Birthday!

 to the great Mr. Armitage.

Richard Crispin Armitage was born August 22, 1971 in Leicester, England. He is an English actor who is well-known for his role in North & South, in which he played the dangerously handsome Mr. Thornton. Richard's acting credits also include many other Tv movies and series' including the BBC Tv Series Robin Hood in which he unleashed his darker side as Guy of Gisborne. He has recently been in the spotlight due to his roles in Captain America: The First Avenger and the upcoming Hobbit films.

 

and just because it's his birthday (and I can't help but post it) here is Mr Thornton....

I wait the whole series for this look he gives Margaret *swoon*

Love Mel xx

Happy Birthday; James Franco

A little belated but just a quick post to say 'Happy Birthday' to one of my all-time favourite actors- the talented James Franco. James was born April 19, 1978, Palo Alto, California. He is known particularly for his portrayal of Harry Osborn in The Spiderman series, Tristan of Aragon in Tristan & Isolde and more recently for his Oscar nominated performance as Aron Ralston in 127 Hours.

I first saw James in the 2001 TV Movie; James Dean, where his eerie portrayal of the Hollywood legend left me wondering if indeed they do have more incommon than just a first name. I also thought his performance in Tristan & Isolde was wonderful and i also enjoyed a rather unknown film he starred in called Flyboys.

Also if you are a Nicholas Sparks fan, be sure to what out for James' role in Nights in Rodanthe, it's excellent!

So Happy Birthday James!
