Theo James

Mr Pamuk -- he fucked himself to death!

Poor Mr. Pamuk...

He failed to land a profitable franchise when he was at his buzziest.

He is kind of weird looking -- sometimes he can look extremely handsome, other times he looks inhuman. Almost like a kid's drawing of a handsome man.

In the Brit tv show Sanditon, James proves he can't really act but he does prove that he wears clothes beautifully. So much so it makes you want to dress like the 19th century.

WHET Theo?

Some pics, mostly shirtless.

nice R5

hawt mins

[quote] He is kind of weird looking -- sometimes he can look extremely handsome, other times he looks inhuman.

I can relate to this remark especially the latter part.

[quote] I'm surprised he's not discussed more on DL.

There have been numerous threads about him over the years as there have been about another DL fave, his Theo's Australian equivalent Brenton Thwaites. Another thread is not unwelcome though.

They should resurrect him as an incubus shagging us all in the new Downton Abbey flicker.

Paradoxically, Lady Mary's death vagina was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Is there such a thing as a Turk with a smooth chest? Not that I've ever seen.

Do you think Kate Winslet and him ever did the deed?

No, effendi.

Yeah they're usually hairy R11 but there have to be some smooth ones.

He'd be hot either way.

I find him very good looking. It's hard for really hot men to be taken seriously. That and the deep, deep well of talent from the UK must make it a challenge.

Though his Downtown Abbey moments were memorable, I don't think he looked his best then....he was all plucked and smoothed out. He was much hotter in Sanditon with some scruff and fewer clothes. He really should stay away from the period melodrama and do a hot cop show.

He was about to make his West End debut in a revival of the musical CITY OF ANGELS when Covid hit. So I guess he can sing, too.

Sanditon is finally in production on seasons two and three. Is he coming back? The long pause due to Covid and (revoked) cancelation caused some cast changes.

Sanditon was absolute shite.

He's rougher around the edges in Divergent.

He’s cute but I prefer Douglas Booth with a puppy.

R18, James said he's not returning to the series.

Sanditon was basically Jane Austin meets Seventeen magazine. Just a young girl's idea of romance in the 19th century without any real character development or plot other than following a teenager's fantasy life. Really dumb show.

He did. He was the lead in Golden Boy on CBS. It failed. He may not have enough charisma to get mainstream interest.

I don't agree. I thought it developed some interesting character arcs for a number of characters including the 2 leads. It was on its way to a complicated and hopefully creative ending when it was cancelled prematurely. Not sure how much you watched but there was definitely a plot - several plots actually.

Anyway ALL Jane Austen (not Austin) stories used romance to impart universal truths and life lessons. There is nothing childish about romance and love. No more so than using sci fi or horror or fantasy to impart same.

James is not a particularly good actor but he fit the character (though the director should have dialed him back in some scenes) and he played very well off his co-star. They had very good chemistry and she was very natural. It made him look good and better than his acting really was.

I thought it was crap. It takes a lot for me to turn off something on PBS [italic]with[/with] crinolines, but that turkey did it.

Damn, some good snark ruined by poor formatting skills. Well, there's a reason I'm not an admin.

"Well, there's a reason I'm not an admin."

Oh! An aspiring Muriel! I love it! We shall henceforth call you, "Miguel."

He just got cast in the HBO Max adaptation of The Time Travelers Wife (Eric Bana played the role in the film). He’s hardly doing poorly career wise.

This is a horrible thing for me to say but his eyes are extremely close together and it bugs me somewhat when I watch him.

The Time Traveler's Wife has now been cancelled by HBO.

If he's inhuman, well, "Take me to your leader!"

He's the son of John James.

Which one of you sultans is my father?

he showed his dick last eppy.

i wondered where the story could go.

^Do tell.

Do watch.

He is NOT the son of John James. Look it up.

I thought it was implied that Mr. Pamuk fucked Lady Mary in the ass to prevent pregnancy.

R30, good. That was some crap. Just awful.

Any chance he'll be the next Bond?

I thought he was Greek and British, unless I'm confusing him with another good looking actor.

He's the NEPHEW of John James.

[quote] I thought he was Greek and British, unless I'm confusing him with another good looking actor.

According to Wikipedia he is of Greek and Scottish descent. His full name is Theodore Peter James Kinnaird Taptiklis.

A lovely body, a mixed bag of a face, and a nonexistent stage presence, which is probably why his impact has been limited, and best suited to period dramas where he's little more than a coathanger.
