Let's have a look at Richard Armitage characters named John!
Ah, John Thornton, the TDHCMO himself... By the way, if you don't know what that means, you have not watched North & South often enough!
John Mulligan doesn't look like a bad boy, does he? Nooo, he's cute, he's sweet, he's kind and generous. Not to mention incredibly S-E-X-Y! Too bad about the whole drug dealer thing... Fortunately, it's always a pleasure to watch Richard Armitage play the baddie!
And just for your info: one of the reasons why I like John Mulligan is because he looks like Lucas North from season 7 of Spooks which was filmed around the same time as Moving On (designer stubble, anyone?).
"Just so you know...I'm going to kill every single one of those bastards."
Need I say more? John Porter... I would willingly put my life into his hands. If you have not seen Chris Ryan's Strike Back, go watch it - right now!
I'm still in denial about John Bateman. In season 9 of Spooks, we find out that Lucas North is not really Lucas North. He's John Bateman and John is not exactly a nice guy... Although I thought the 'downfall of Lucas North' twist was completely unbelievable, I have to take my hat off to Richard Armitage for the way he portrayed the slow transformation from Lucas, the hero, into John, the killer. In every single picture from Spooks 9, you can clearly see the difference between Lucas and John. I can't exactly put my finger on what the differences are, but they seem to be two completely different characters. That, ladies and gentlemen, is real talent!
Well, I hope you enjoyed my little chat about 'the Johns'.

A very nice round up of the John's. ;->
ReplyDeleteThanks Grati!
DeleteVery good discussion of the "Johns". I agree especially whith what you said about Standring, and Bateman... well heck!... I agree with EVERYthing you said actually. Thanks for the droolworthy pictures. :P
ReplyDeleteIt's my pleasure, phylly3! Glad you enjoyed them!
DeleteOh dear, Bateman. He haunts us in a less charming way than does the non-John guy...
ReplyDeletefitzg
I'd rather have Lucas in my dreams than Bateman!
DeleteJohn Bateman? Never heard of him. Kind of looks like Lucas North, I guess. LOL, great post!
ReplyDeleteYou've never heard of him because he doesn't exist, jazzbaby1! ;-)
DeleteYou've summed up the "Johns" very nicely. As to the North/Bateman issue, Richard has a way of transforming his characters from one type of personality to another a la Gisborne :-) See, I got Guy in there, didn't I? LOL
ReplyDeleteNo matter how hard I try to give the others a fair chance, John Porter remains my favorite! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! My favorite John always will be Mr. Thornton. Deep down Mr. Thornton is kind, concerned about his workers health & well being and passionate and loyal in his love for his beloved My second favorite is John Standring. There is a quiet strength in his shyness that I love. John Standring is also a good decent man. John Mulligan is sexy and very confident. I was so disappointed that he turned out to be involved with drug selling. I do not know about John Porter since I have not seen Strike Back yet. The extreme violence throughout is why I have not watched it yet. One day I will do it. It was hard enough watching Robin Hood because of the violence.
ReplyDeleteTDHCMO? Ack, I can't crack it. I feel like a bad fan. :D
