But don't you think that limits him a little bit? In terms of standard-issue romantic leads, I think it might, but I could be wrong.

Distinctive used to equal getting character work. Rock Hudson was fairly tall though wasn't he? I seem to remember him towering over his leading ladies. And JP has proven he can sell the love scene. Rawr.

But I think his height could hurt him in some situations. Someone I was watching the other day....oh Gary Sinese...stood next to their female costar and I realized how short he was. This is a disturbing thing to discover as it doesn't sit well with my tallness kink at all. However the one good thing about seeing JA on other things is getting him away from the one costar in the world who makes him look short.

Yes, this.

I think right now, as gorgeous as JP is to me, he looks very "action star". Still gangly and yet heavily muscled. I can't see him playing a husband or a dad, say.

the one costar in the world whoh makes him look short.

Welling did. And OMG, I just had a vision of how the world would be had JA won that audition instead, and had been in Smallville hell for the last decade. Not. pretty.

I do think, idly, once in a while, of the SPN that would have been had they cast JA as Sam, as was the plan, and cast, oh say, CK as Dean. Now that's a pretty picture.

I am not into westerns. I promise. But I cannot let go of this obsession with seeing JDM, JA and JP as cowboys. I want it to be a movie instead of a series so Jim Beaver might as well make an appearance. He knows the score from Deadwood. JA as a cowboy dad. I'd have it on a continuous loop in my house.

That would have been pretty. Yes, Welling is another tall pretty man. He may be in my western as well.

Oh, Austin Theresa. The sister of my heart.

I still have trouble looking at Charlie and not seeing Heath-alike.

Heath? Ledger? Cause I'm gonna have all kinds of problems watching if this is the case. Totally irrational pain and yet it is still there.

Oh, Austin Theresa. The sister of my heart.

Loves Amy. Wait, do you also think that Lisa lied and that Ben is really Dean's son? Cause that would cinch it.

Before Jump the Shark, I had nearly convinced myself Ben was John's, actually.

That would have been very confusing. (The John-Lisa-Dean thing.)

There is SoA discussion in Cable Drama.

Lisa lied and that Ben is really Dean's son

Given the "vessel blood" thing, that would be an interesting direction for the plot to go. Don't think they will, though.

The Hunnam-Heath thing may be just me, Theresa. You shouldn't let it keep you from giving the series a try. Perlman and Sagal alone are worth the time, and the secondary characters are all just beautifully drawn and excellently realized. Plus my seekrit teevee boyfriend Ryan Hurst is a regular. (/SoA)
