People that remind me of Richard Armitage #1

-
Please tell me I'm not the only one who keep seeing people that remind me of Richard Armitage? Surely you keep seeing people that remind you of him as well?

Anyway, here's the one that gets me every time we watch Grimm: Sasha Roiz.


Not a striking resemblance perhaps, but he's dark-haired, tall, has a nice voice, the right kind of nose, and his expressions are just very ... Richard Armitage. He even has those pointy elvish ears!

Perhaps you need to see the man in action to see what I mean, but let's try a few pictures instead:

Could be Lucas, but isn't.

Heinz Kruger?

Broody crinkles.

They should at least be able to pull off playing brothers fairly well. That would be pretty sweet. I'm sure there are plenty of clips of the man, seeing as how he's the police captain or something in Grimm.

Then again, I also can't watch Grimm without constantly thinking how Nick reminds me of a younger Ken Olin. Now I just need someone to remind me of Sam Neill, and Bob, as they say, would be your uncle. :D

    Good call! I didn't agree at first , but by the last photo I was definitely with you! The one with the hat reminds me of Monet sans beard. I haven't watched this show yet.

      In "Grimm", the Grimm Brothers didn't just write down fairytales, they were supernatural investigators, of sorts, and there are a lot of fae/fey creatures out there. Their descendants are known as "Grimms" and they sort of police the fae creatures in our world. It's quite an interesting show. :)

      It's strange, because seeing pictures of Sasha Roiz, he's not particularly RA-looking, but every time I see him on TV, my brain keeps shouing "Richard! Richard! Richard!" at me.

      He's good! :) (Okay, his character in "Grimm" might or might not be, but ...)

    At last! I really did begin to wonder if it was just me hallucinating during this RA drought!! There are very close similarities - so thanks for sharing this.

    I've always thought that about Sasha Roiz and RA. They could play convincing brothers.

    So thankyou for pinning this down for me! I've been re-watching Robin Hood and I couldn't for the life of me think who Richard Armitage was reminding me of! You're right in that they don't look too alike, but the way they both talk and their mannerisms are so alike! Cheers! It was bugging me something crazy!

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
