Yeah baby **Jack Black**. I need him. And the guy who played Adebesi on Oz. And Christopher Meloni is extremely dirty. And the guy who plays Said. Really the whole cast of Oz. Including Rita Morano. But I’m not sure if I don’t just want to BE her because she gets to be the nun on Oz and that’s just so cool. Mmmmm. Yeah. The “I’m the nun on Oz” fantasy. Good times. B.D. Wong is hot. Kirk Acevedo. Oh that makes me think of the whole cast of Band of Brothers most especially Joe Toy and Nixon. Not that strange on the surface of it but once I get everyone costumed and positioned in my mind it really does become deeply strange.

All That Jazz was on cable tonight. I realize that Jaws came out several years before that but ATJ was when I first noticed **Roy Scheider**. He makes my strange crush list, I guess.

Also **Charles Dance** , saw him in Pascali’s Island a few eons ago and fell in love with him, though none of his other movies have elicted quite the same level of lust.

**Steve Martin** and pretty much anyone else that plays Cyrano de Bergerac or a character based on him.

**Tim Curry** in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He has so much to answer for in the shaping of what I find attractive sometimes.

Bravo **Lisa-go-Blind** , me too. In fact I am sure he is my ideal man! I met him once, and felt like a schoolgirl all shaky and giggly.

Some weirder ones that haven’t been mentioned:

Michael Palin (I know, he’s older than my Dad, but still…)  
Rik Mayall  
Chris Barrie  
Steve Coogan  
and a newly found admiration for Peter Kay

Santo Cilauro (for the Australians)

Yep, I know, major nerd fetish.

Ralph Fiennes after watching The End of the Affair (my 2nd favourite film)

Joseph Fiennes after watching Shakespeare in Love

Keanu, obv.

Colin Firth, major league crush, perfect specimen (but hardly original I know)

Oh so terribly weird are two of mine. Corey Feldman and, although it was definitely true back in the day, even so for now… Leif Garrett. Something about the bad boy persona. And the LONGish hair (although in Leif’s case today, I don’t think it’s so much there). Yum. I mean, ashamed. _grin_

As of about twenty minutes ago- John C. Reilly. But only while he is dancing around in a track suit.
