rogues and scoundrels
why are they so damned attractive!?
This is the question, and comes from yesterday lunchtime at a friends house (by the way Tracy, best flan, pie, tart thing ever!), I mentioned Lost, and then of course, if you are talking about Lost, you are talking about Sawyer!
Then this lead to Jack Sparrow, and then my long standing fav, who describes himself as a rogue and scoundrel, Han Solo!
For me Han Solo will always have to win, I have grown up swooning over him, but there is something about Sawyer, his smart quips, his pain, his physical abilities! I’m smirking while writing this!
And then Jack Sparrow, I think Johnny Depp is fab, and so I don’t think I can really see this character without him, so it doesn’t have so much of the appeal.
So ladies, which one for you, or who else, and you are not allowed to say your loved ones, he must be a rogue or scoundrel, and when you think of him it must make you smirk!!

i do like mr depp… like the roles he choses and his quirkiness but the male actor who i think has an honesty and charisma is ewan mcgregor, though not a scoundrel… i love moulin rouge. the scoundrel is jude law… wouldn’t want to go near him .. but those eyes!.. now i must get back to my sewing alice… you have distracted me and now i shall be thinking of scoundrels all afternoon….

Mr Depp wins for me, delightfully yummy in every movie he’s in, although Sawyer would be bring up a close second.
Can I just say *drool*

Um, I think I’d have to mention Clive Owen in Sin City – not usually my type but he carries that off very well indeed. Well enough to watch it twice. And buy it. But absolutely top of my list is Eduardo Noriega (I think!) in the Devil’s Backbone. Rogue doesn’t cut it really, he’s a complete bastard, but …well, there’s the smirk. I can’t help myself. I’ll never be able to think of myself as even vaguely feminist ever again… But if you haven’t seen it you really should check it out, and i don’t mean for him – it’s a fantastic film, a bit scary, very moving. Wonderful. Guess who’s supposed to be doing course work : )

It’s got to be Han Solo for me. I do like Johnny Depp but Harrison Ford gets my vote every time, in whatever role he plays – utterly gorgeous.

Sawyer…oh my… Whew, that man gives me the palpitations.

Got to be Johnny Depp I think. I can’t think of another who makes me smirk quite as much as he!

Mmm Sawyer……and how unfortunate that he lost all his shirts in the plane crash and has to go around half dressed!

Hello again… I too am a very long-time fan of Han Solo, but I must say I’m not keen on Jack Sparrow, too mincy for me… however, I did very much ‘warm to’ Depp’s houseboat-dwelling gypsy character in ‘Chocolat’…

How about Benicio Del Toro? He’s very scoundrelly in films like The Usual Suspects, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Way of the Gun, even Snatch!

Han Solo every time!

Mmmm I’m with you on Sawyer – not seen enough of him in the latest series – tough but vulnerable underneath (v sexy of course too!!), that could also describe Han Solo! I was only thinking this morning that I do have a thing about that combination!!

Have to agree with Tracy about Clive Owen, very nice indeed! But then there is Sawyer and of course Han Solo, I can’t decide which is best so I will just have to have all three!! Now there is a smirk on my face!

Sawyer all the way baby LOL!

I’m a big fan of Lost and quite often I am torn between reliable, boy-next-door Jack and sexy Sawyer. But my favourite guy is Jude Law

Totally Johnny Depp. Yumm!!!

George Clooney makes me smirk – but I don’t think he could be called a scoundrel, a rouge maybe. Of your three, Johnny then Han. Harrison as Indy makes me smirk too.
