This game’s just not the same for me since Gene Wilder and Alan Rickman died. _However_, it has recently come to my attention that [Peter Dinklage](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/d3/89/71/d38971b9c64f692a35b5c5bf2ca8db97.jpg) is not an ugly dude. ---

Helen Mirren. Still badass and sexy. And age appropriate for old geezers like me. 🙂 ---

Another vote for Anna Kendrick. Sure, maybe it’s just an act, but she seems to be smart, funny, and self deprecating in addition to being super talented. Plus, she has the ability to veer from “really cute but still more or less within normal-person boundaries” to “good god! pure distilled sex appeal” on a whim. ---

I crush on the ugly bastards with sex appeal, Joaquin Phoenix and more recently after watching Medici, Guido Caprino as Marco Bello. ---

> [@Infovore](#): > > [Tom Ellis](http://parade.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Lucifer_SC5_0026.jpg) from Lucifer. He’s gorgeous, he’s got an accent to die for, and he dresses great.

[Wallis Currie-Wood.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6640415/?ref_=tt_cl_t10) She’s playing Secretary McCord’s daughter, Stevie, on Madam Secretary, and she is absolutely killing every single scene she’s in. For those concerned about age-appropriateness, Tea Leoni & Bebe Neuwirth aren’t doing too bad, either. ---

Also [Emily Kinney](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2782162/?ref_=tt_cl_t1), who plays Tess on Conviction. It’s like they said “Let’s cast somebody who looks just like Luna Lovegood, only grown up and hot as hell. And not Irish.” It’s also weirdly distracting to hear Hayley Atwell speak without an English accent, but she doesn’t qualify as a new crush, so… ---

Grace Potter. In this video, at around 3:47, she is looking pretty good by my reckoning. It’s not just her looks, I love her music for the most part and when I’ve seen her interviewed she seems like a really fun and cool person.
