I'm so glad Richard did his homework and genuinely admires Tolkien as an author and person. He deserves the role of Thorin and continues to do it justice.
@PaddySnuffles10 жыл бұрын
He seems to always take his roles really seriously no matter how small (which is what a great actor should do). And fans getting to be in something they love always turns out amazing in my opinion (the Star Trek reboot, Tennant & Capaldi as the Doctor, etc) because they know the story and the fanbase (what with being a member of it) :)
@technochocolate12311 жыл бұрын
His sense of humor is so gentle, it just makes me want to smile till my face splits in half. And the way he is obviously so bashful about his sex appeal is simply irresistible!
@danijela79011 жыл бұрын
I love this man. He is a complete character. Talented, smart, cultured, handsome, has charisma and a voice that thrills me. A man who does not like to expose and there is so much which deserves attention. I enjoy to see him, hear and follow all of it.
@TheAngelgirl199211 жыл бұрын
I am so glad that finally everyone in the media will realize the precious gem of an actor Richard Armitage is. There is no arguing that lately the average actor/actress barely can act. On the other hand to see such a great actor like Richard being pushed aside for them is actually very frustrating. But finally... finally he is getting the fame he deserves for his acting. Congratulations Richard Armitage :)

There's no other words that cause such tension as Jesus, Christ or Christianity, especially in Hollywood, that for him to even bring it up, much less in a positive light as "nobility expressed in kindness and mercy", it shows to me he's not afraid to express what he feels even if it means going against Hollywood expectations.
