Ralph Fiennes

One of my favorites

Please fuck me

In interviews, he's always such a simple, down-to-earth presence. Despite the odd name and dramatic training, he's pretty dorky in his interests. He read every Bond novel a dozen times, and still knows every villain and Bond girl by heart. He claims not to have had too many girlfriends in his youth, and still comes across a bit sheepish for a man of his sex appeal.

Yup, that's definitely Ralph Fiennes in that picture.

I saw his Hamlet on TV Broadway. It was certainly one of the fastest in my experience though not the best. I have liked him a lot in many films - check out both him and Tilda Swinton in A Bigger Splash.

He likes older women. Mommy issues?

He fucked a stewardess during a flight? I like that about him.

Is his younger brother prettier, and better?

R8 which brother?

Ralph Fiennes pronounces his first name the same as this important composer Ralph Vaughan Williams.

He composed this extremely luscious piece you must listen as you lie comfortably in a darkened room, nude—

R10 yes. It is Raf, not RaLLFF

R11 It's actually a Raiff or Ray-fff.

are you sure?

Here—

R14 lol I know how to pronounce it

Ralph Fiennes Desert Island Disc

R9 his brother is Joseph Fiennes of Shakespeare In Love fame.

There’s an “l” and a “ph” (pronounced like “f”) in the word. He’s a fancy man, but it’s Ralph. Like the grocery store.

R19 Rafe gets nude more frequently than Joe.

More importantly, but what does Elaine Benes think of him?

Interesting about the Bond fetish. I was kinda surprised to see him step into the role of M. It seems like a bit of a commitment. Unlike Javier's one and done

I do love he’s a bit of a sleaze but don’t understand his fondness for Andy Cohen.

He is well known to be a (straight) sex freak. But otherwise he comes across as a smart and fairly down-to-earth guy. he doesn't seem to beg for attention, and he didn't seem to be sad about transitioning from leads to supporting character roles.

I've liked him better in the character roles, since he was typecast when he was hotter and younger as arrogant aristocratic types. But he has much more to offer than just that. He was splendid in "The Dig" as the archaeologist/excavator.

Ralph is most famous for fucking a Qantas employee during a flight.

(She had a reputation amongst the staff so I've been told).

[quote] but don’t understand his fondness for Andy Cohen.

He sees him through a jaundiced wonky eye.

Andy’s wonk. I hate seeing him age. He was sooo 🔥

He's a great actor. Very few of those exist today.

[quote] He's a great actor.

But is he genuine actor on stage? People who stand in front of a camera aren't "great actors".

R29 why the hell not?

Sometimes stage actors really suck on film. Too stagey.

You can tell he's a sloppy drunk.

Hopefully, his nephew will follow in Ralph's tradition of dropping trou.

He is one of my favorite actors.

Bet he pounds out a mean fuck.

Tangy & salty!!! Yes, please, r31.

[quote] People who stand in front of a camera aren't "great actors".

Would that it were so simple.

Love that Ralph is one of the few Harry Potter stars to defend JK against the lynch mob.

He seems a half-step removed from other typical celebrities and I like it

bump

Is that better than a full-step?

My favourite actor, and so far the superior of your Leos and your Pitts and all the assholes who usually get showered with awards. Not a hammy bone in him, one of the few who genuinely disappears into a role. He was excellent in The English Patient and one of his best roles is in the little-seen Katherine Bigelow-directed Strange Days from 1995. He was mesmerizing as the sad sack hung up on his ex, and that final scene with Angela Bassett was so good.

Also agree with the poster above that he was wonderful in The Dig.

I first saw and learned about him, like many in my generation, thanks to Harry Potter. But man, was that his worst role/performance ever. The scariest person in the book, comes off as a theater kid having a temper tantrum. Thankfully, Fiennes is good to almost great in most everything else he's done. But his portrayal of Voldemort was simply wrong.

Ralph can leave his shoes under my bed any day and pound my arse to destruction.

See his portrayal of Robert Moses in the filmed performance of National Theatre’s “Straight Line Crazy.”

Fiennes is spectacularly good.

This is the final scene from Strange Days, some here may appreciate it. (major spoiler warning, though)

And is definitely the hotter of the two, R17. Those eyes...those lips. Fuck me.

He was amazing in “Spider”. He really inhabited the role and committed to it.

Can’t stand his ugly ass brother. Hated watching The Handmaid’s Tail because of his presence.

dammit, *Tale*

His brother Joseph is a terrible actor.

He is supposedly the "English actor" Andy Cohen writes about in his book, the one he had a long relationship,.

Joseph Fiennes was in American Horror Story: Asylum

Joseph looked like Prince back in SIL.

He is nominated for the Academy Award for Conclave

[quote]Bet he pounds out a mean fuck.

I immediately thought BDF from the OPs link.

He IS Ralph Fiennes!

I saw his "Hamlet." That's when Ralph began his affair with Francesca Annis, who played Gertrude.

Just yesterday I watched "The Forgiven". The movie was too long, the characters, gay and straight, not much more than stereotypes, and then there is the brilliant Fiennes. The way he says "enchanté" to a woman he despises on sight is enough to keep you in the movie.

The only role I didn’t like hi in was The Reader. I forgave him for that when I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel. He’s not ugly now, but very average looking to the point where you can’t tell how hot he once was.

Joseph is the better looking of the two, but he’s not much of an actor. I still remember that ridiculous softcore porn film he did with Heather Graham. I ignored the bad acting because he had quite a lot of hot sex scenes showing his nicely toned ass.

Didn’t he also play Michael Jackson, R61?

I am so attracted to him.

Luminous in Quiz Show. He glowed in that movie.

Quishaw

He was great in Schindler's List

Brilliant in "The End of the Affair," but Stephen Rea is even better.

Joseph is okay I guess, the JC Penney Ralph Fiennes. I believe I would do anything R asked.
