The most gorgeous actor?!

A completely flippant topic to lighten the mood!

The Poirot series from 2003 and the McKenzie/McEwen Marple series have starred some absolutely gorgeous actors (in no particular order) -

Greg Wise, Rupert Penry-Jones, Joseph Beattie, Sean Biggerstaff, James D'Arcy, Christian Coulson, Matthew Goode, Julian Morris, Jack Davenport, Adam Garcia, Tom Wisdom, Tom Riley, Tom Mison, Adam Croasdell, Julian Ovenden, J J Feild, Alastair McKenzie, Tristan Gemmill (and the list goes on...)

TheButlerDidIT 12 Apr 10 at 4:38 p.m. GMT

And me Miss Quinn you never included me! Although I'm sure it wasn't intentionall.

MissQuin 12 Apr 10 at 3:30 p.m. GMT

Ive realised how great men look in tweed jackets! Or is it just me?!Jonathan Firth as Nigel Chapman, Matt Smith as Doctor Who. I'm sure theres lots more actually.

MOTOE should be a feast for the eyes, Stanley Weber is playing the Count.

The most gorgeous actor will star in Orient Express.

David Morrissey!

When I read that he was filming that, I had to lay down for a minute.

I saw Hugh Bonneville in The mirror cracked from side to side, and I look forward seeing him in orient express aswell.

Just bringing the sexy back!

Jonathan Firth who was in Hickory Dicory Dock. I'd have liked to run my fingers through his curls...

I fear it is too late to shoehorn Mr Tennant into the adaptation of Murder On The Orient Express, but he would be great as Hector MacQueen - I hadn't thought of that! The accent should be no problem, as he seems rather adept at them, but it would be nice to find a part for him where he could use his own native one. Scottish characters seem a bit thin on the ground in AC's work, unfortunately! Never mind, if he ever turned up in ANY adaptation in ANY role, I would be a very happy little person!

Nofret, I recently saw that episode of The Thin Blue Line (I think it was over the Christmas period when I was staying with my Dad as he has SkY TV and I don't) and laughed myself silly! Forgotten how much I loved it!

NofretJonathan Cake for me! Yum, yum, a slice of him every day and blow the diet!

LOL! I'd like a slice of Cake too...but just a little slice! :-P

Greg Wise would have been better too in 'Towards Zero' if they'd scruffed him up a bit :-)

Oh no! I thought he looked absolutely dreamy in TZ! I wouldn't want him scruffy...I like clean and polished gentlemen!

Nofret 14 Jan 10 at 9:15 a.m. GMT

Jonathan Cake for me! Yum, yum, a slice of him every day and blow the diet! I love a man with a sense of humour - did you see him in The Thin Blue Line?

David Tennant could adopt a transatlantic accent and play Hector MacQueen in Murder on the Orient Express. I hope they cast Mrs Hubbard as Christie described her, and not as a glamourpuss like Lauren Bacall was. Dame Judi Dench would be ideal, though probably unobtainable, how about Penelope Wilton? (Harriet Jones, Prime Minister!)

Bundle_ 12 Jan 10 at 4 p.m. GMT

Yes, no hard feelings!

Also I could really see Dan Steven as Jimmy in the Seven Dials, or rather I want to see him playing Jimmy.

Puffinjill 12 Jan 10 at 3:11 p.m. GMT

Or, Tommy, as you say, Jimmy! And, it's OK Bundle, no offence taken!! Each to his own!!

Tommy_A_Jones 12 Jan 10 at 1:26 p.m. GMT

Oh yes I forgot, pedrhaps Jimmy in Seven Dials

McGinty 11 Jan 10 at 7:13 p.m. GMT

Sean Biggerstaff plays Bobby in 'Evans', and he's certainly very easy on the eye ! I'd like to see Clive Owen in a Christie, or maybe Andrew Lincoln.

Bundle_ 11 Jan 10 at 6:45 p.m. GMT

Oh no! Not David Tennant as Anthony Cade! (No offence JA!) I picture Luke Mably as Anthony! But there is an adapt coming up for Chimneys, remember? Unfortunately Jonas Armstrong is playing Anthony.

Tommy_A_Jones 11 Jan 10 at 5 p.m. GMT

Yes Puffin, he would have been Excelent as Bobby. perhaps if we ever get an Adaptation of The Secret of Chimneys he can play Anthony Cade

Puffinjill 11 Jan 10 at 3:09 p.m. GMT

I'm fine with that. I'm fine with his inclusion in any way. Shame he can't be Bobby in the up and coming adaptation of Why Didn't They Ask Evans? as I'm sure it will be AWFUL and looking at him would have brightened it up for me!

Noah 09 Jan 10 at 9:58 p.m. GMT

I think David Tennant could be quite good as Edward Raynor from Black Coffee.

vansittart 09 Jan 10 at 5:52 p.m. GMT

Oh dear - I can't think of many here because they almost invariably pick tall, young, thin and clean men (like greyhounds) to play the more romantic leads and they're not really my type. I prefer something a bit scruffier so I did like Alastair McKenzie in 'Death on the Nile' and Jonathan Cake was OK in 'The Hollow'. Greg Wise would have been better too in 'Towards Zero' if they'd scruffed him up a bit :-)

Tommy_A_Jones 09 Jan 10 at 4:40 p.m. GMT

Who would you cast David Tennant as Puffin?

Bundle_ 09 Jan 10 at 3:14 p.m. GMT

I would love to see Hugh Dancy in a Christie adapt! In fact, it rather surprises me that he hasn't been in one already.
