Oh, this Chris Evans guy was Jensen in The Losers? He was okay in that. Fun character.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think he's massively charismatic, and can sweep me off my feet any time he wants. He also played serious guy with responsibility quite adeptly in Sunshine, but all anyone remembers is Johnny Storm.
Oh, and apparently he's short.

Because books.
HE'S TALL ENOUGH FOR ME.
I guess I should put Sunshine in the queue, huh? I have no idea what it's about.
I watched The Losers for JDM, and I was surprised to realize I really loved Chris Evans as Jensen even more than JDM as Clay.
Idris Elba hurt me, though. So beautiful. Don't be a bad guy!

OMG, I had such a good time reading Jensen/Cougar after that movie! The pairing totally snuck up on me, but it was a fun time. The movie in general was a fun time. Nice, light, explosive, with fun badassery.
Sunshine is 2/3 a pretty good movie, and then it goes off the rails. It's got a great cast (Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Cillian Murphy, etc), but doesn't end up holding up, which is a shame. It's a sci fi mission to save the world.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
No one has ever done comedy and not comedy.
Like, as we were just discussing in Natter, Garrett Dillahunt.
I have not seen Sunshine, either.

And that's why I love him on Raising Hope! He plays a great psychopath, but I adore this side of him.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Idris Elba started out as a bad guy(In America, at least) Although Stringer does have an idealistic streak...he's not all bad. Can't comment on The Losers though...it bugged me somehow and I didn't finish watching it.

Thrive to spite them
Erika have you seen Ultraviolet the UK tv series? He's in that as a vampire hunter. Of sorts. Ultraviolet is only 6 episodes and it's an interesting take on vampires.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Evans was great in Scott Pilgrim. So was Brandon Routh for that matter.

Yeah, askye, I thought Ultraviolet was pretty good(and yes, IE did get to be a hero in it)
