Mine are Colin O'Donoghue and Pierce Brosnan. Coincidentally I found out they were both born in Drogheda, Ireland. I always wished they'd do a sequel to Remington Steele, where Colin played the son of Remington and Laura, and took over the detective agency once they retired.
Pierce had actually talked about wanting to produce a movie of Remington Steele, only with Colin Firth, taking over Pierce's part directly. No offense to Firth, but I am glad it never came to be. I just couldn't see anyone taking over as that specific character from Brosnan. I also think O'Donoghue is closer in terms of looks to Brosnan, and would be believable as his character's son.

We shouldn't forget directors. I love the work of Seán Ó Fearna, John Ford. Interestingly his 1927 fim, Mother Machree, is on YouTube.
BlueKota
