James Gardner

James Gardner  Born 14 February  TV Presenter/Sports Fanatic/DJ/Up & Coming Comedian

You might recall James as presenter on defunct sports channel Setanta and he's moved on to present at Sit Up Channels (Bid, Pricedrop, SpeedAuction).
Love his casual style of presenting and he does have that cool, modelling look down pat.  Love his soft spoken Scottish accent and he's a bit of a ladies man. Dressed to impress and perfection in his suit on TV, I have a penchant for the purple tie.

James likes his 'daddy' cardigans too as I call them.  All styles look good on him.

But he also loves his football and boxing!  So watch out gals cos these may be his first loves!  Me thinks he'll go far and why wouldn't he being such a sweet, lovable guy and being born on the most romantic day of the year.
James is now back on Pricedrop.

Colin Firth

Colin Firth  Born 10 September 1960  Actor

No need to mention the show that brought Colin to the attention of millions of women all over the world, swooning in their corsets! If they still wore those. Why yes, it's the Mr Darcy.
Of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice fame.  That's one character he will always be typecast as and perhaps deservedly so.  It's the one where be garnered heartthrob status! He even played the same named role in Bridget Jones's Diary.
Oh so handsome in black and that mesmerizing faraway look.  He would have made a charismatic James Bond I think and you know what he played royalty too as George VI in The King's Speech. Who could forget him in Mamma Mia!
Everyone has to have such a pose in their resume and he cuts a handsome figure in purple, so stylish and my fave colour too!  Costume pieces, or body rippers I should say, modern, traditional all suit him to a 'T.'

He supports many important causes, including the environment and he has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Now that scene when he emerges from the swim in Pride and Prejudice wet shirt 'n' all will be etched on our minds permanently.  Forever Mr Darcy!

James D'Arcy

James D'Arcy  Born 24 August 1975  Actor

Oh he's got a great name, could go around calling him "Mr D'Arcy" all day, perhaps he should have got to play that most famous and iconic role in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.  Let's face it, he's got the looks, the accent and looks great in a costume piece.
My first encounter with James was in The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby where he played the title role and boy was he good.  He scrubs up nicely in his dashing outfit! Looking dishy there.  Also in Agatha Christie's Moving Finger, Poirot the Mystery of the Blue Train and other costume dramas such as Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. 
He looks gorge in modern attire too and he even went on to play the part of royalty as Edward VIII in W.E. How's that for a career which has spanned many years.
Seems like blue appears to be his colour and he's able to pull off any style with ease and still manage to look totally suave.  Can't take my eyes off him!

Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch  Born 19 July 1976  Actor

Everyone knows him as Sherlock Homes and those who didn't know him before this unbeatable and excellent series now do, so you've got absolutely no excuses not to admire this amiable actor.
We've come to know him with his trademark scarf and coat, which he wears well, but he's not into stuffy ties as Sherlock.  More the black jacketed suit, giving him an air of  casual deceit. His dress sense doesn't mean he's not on board with his prowess to solve the unsolvable as the world's greatest detective.  Together with his adorable natural 'posh' accent, one he got whilst he was educated at Harrow; makes him sound so sexy and stand out from the crowd.

I first saw Benedict in Agatha Christie's Marple: Murder is Easy where he played handsome, sleuthing Luke Fitzwilliam.  Though he's been in plenty of TV, films, plays and radio.  Have to mention his high cheekbones.
Hats are in as an essential style accessory and he looks very suave here.  Though personally I don't really like his blond hair, but to each his own as they say.
He delivers a striking pose in casual jumper too, proving he can get away with just about any sort of fashion ensemble and his 'heterochromia' blue, gold and green eyes are a perfect match to this grey.  Oh to top it all off, he rides a motorbike! And yes he really did ride the horse in the movie War Horse, though he hadn't ridden one since he was 12.

Benedict is every woman's dream man on and off screen!  Polite, well-educated, intelligent and to me he is one beautiful man!

Mark Harmon

Mark Harmon  Born 2 September 1951  Actor

Mark Harmon is just one of those great guys who has been around as long as I can remember and I don't mean that in a horrible way.  I could call him one of my childhood icons.  Another blue eyed gorgeous guy who I first saw in 240-Robert where he played Thib and was out saving lives back then. We all fell in love with him.

Hey anyone looks great in black but Mark looks particularly sexy and every man should have a black shirt or jumper in their wardrobe, especially if they have lovely blue eyes.  Oh eyes hey mentioned those already!

You know some people don't recall Mark as Fielding Carlisle in Flamingo Road. Mark is not only an excellent actor but he also sings and boy does he sing.  He sang in 240-Robert, a song called Saddle My Dreams, which he actually did in his career and his personal life too.
Here he is looking particularly suave and stylish in a suit and tie and I have to say black seems to be his colour definitely.  So he went on to St Elsewhere and played a plastic surgeon and lots of other shows and films.  Until he landed that one role that was destined for him, everyone's fave former Marine and we all love a man in uniform; and NCIS agent, Leroy Jethro Gibbs.  Well no one will forget him now.
Just about everyone loves Mark, he's caring, kind, handsome and does so much for charity and others, with a heart so big there's no end to his talents and compassion.  I for one am so glad he graced my TV screen!

Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan  Born 16 May 1953  Actor

Pierce first caught my eye in the great TV show that was Remington Steele and he was my first crush.

That show summed up his looks and his image, kind of, in the opening narration when he's mentioned, "...with his blue eyes and mysterious past.."  I'd mix business and pleasure with him. Well Pierce's past is not so mysterious, though you gotta love him for going through so much adversity, heartache and still going strong and more importantly down-to-earth and compassionate.  Okay passionate too.
Then came elusive and debonair James Bond, well 007 was elusive to us and hard to get our hands on, as is Pierce!  My fave Bond and for obvious reasons, I mean those eyes, that hair, that pose and that pout; who wouldn't fight over him!  Black is so his colour and so alluring, Mamma Mia!

He is timeless and iconic and so charmingly handsome, he hasn't aged a bit since Rem Steele.
Yep he sure knows how to win us over, cool white shirt and yes chest hair for that added touch of sexiness. Pierce is one gorge guy with a heart of gold who I still crush over!! Always have, always will!

Misha Collins

Misha Collins Born 20 August 1974  Actor/Angel (No, really!)

Misha has been around a long time on various shows and guest star spots such as CSI:NY, NCIS, CSI but it wasn't until Supernatural that he was adorned by fans all over the world.  Adored or adorned, or just plain followed.  Not just as his role of Castiel but also on Twitter.
Here's a pensive looking angel if ever there was one!  That should read: angelic pose instead.  Well I had to get the old trademark raincoat/mac in somehow.  It's what he's well known for.  Along with his pensive and lovely blue eyes.
You've probably seen this photo so many times it's kind of become iconic just like him.  At least he looks gorgeous out of his Castiel costume.  Sorry no wings but underneath the striking expression lies not only  a heart of gold but also a halo I'm sure.  Misha started the Random Acts charity as it aims to "conquer the world one random act of kindness at a time."  Check it out...and help out.
Also he can look totally hot in a random (no pun) casual outfit too.  But beware angel with a phone cos he won't stop Tweeting his devoted minions!  Misha is funny, stylish, handsome and compassionate. Just what the world needs!
