Ever had a crush on a TV or movie character?

[Beware the Beast Man]

Not on the actor/actress themselves, but the character they play. For example, my wife and I were watching her Buffy DVDs last night, and I commented how I thought Willow was cute in a quirky sort of way. I don't have a thing for Allison Hannigan, though, just Willow.
Same applies to Drew Barrymore's character in the Wedding Singer. I can't stand Drew, but I thought she was a sweetheart in that movie.

Anybody relate, or am I just a goof? :shrug:

[russian33]

1. Jessica Rabbit was absolutely hot!

:P

[livinginphotographs]

2. Dana Sculley.

n/t

[truthspeaker]

16. Strongly seconded!

That serious demeanor, the dry wit, the marksmanship with an FBI-issue 9mm pistol. *drool*

[livinginphotographs]

19. I like it when she talks science...

:rawr:

And she looks really hot (can I say that?) with glasses and in those suits.

[truthspeaker]

21. whereas in real life Gillian Anderson is kind of ditzy

Not dumb, but not serious like Scully.

[soleft]

56. I even went to an Xfiles convention at the Jacob Javits Ctr to see her

It was odd to be in a group of about 3000 people and feel like I was one of the more well adjusted there. That doesn't happen often.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. I think Allison Hannigan's pretty hot

But then again, i have a thing for girls with pale skin. :loveya:

[hyphenate]

4. Many crushes, many!

I'm still in love with some of them. :)

For instance, Simon Templar, not Roger Moore.
Lee Crane, not David Hedison.
James West, not Robert Conrad.
Kelly Robinson, not Robert Culp.
Alexander Mundy, not Robert Wagner.
James T. Kirk, not Bill Shatner.

Yep, you can even tell what era most of my crushes were from--growing up in the 60s and 70s.


I did eventually develop a crush on some of the actors, but it was the character for each of them which first took hold.

[Kat45]

59. Hyphenate: Wow! We had the same childhood crushes.

That's so funny. I guess we grew up around the same time. :-)

[hyphenate]

77. Cool!

Are you a big science fiction fan? That's one of my true loves! My current love is Richard Dean Anderson of course, but I've been a fan since before MacGyver.

In high school, we used to have a lot of fun with the many hunks on TV, by creating our own ideal school, with many of them as our teachers. Kelly and Scotty taught geography, Alexander Mundy taught Burglary 101, our "English" teachers were Englishmen, etc. It was fun. :)

[Kat45]

82. No, I'm not a big scifi fan, but there is a lot of it I like.

Richard Dean Anderson since before MacGyver? From what? Wait a minute, wasn't he in that short-lived series "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"? River Phoenix was in it too.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Both Romanas, Emma Peel, Cathy Gale.

[VOX]

94. My heart palpitates at the very thought of Emma Peel.

She was/is the living end.

Heavy sigh.

[Cats Against Frist]

6. Yes

When I was a kid, I was totally in love with Speed Racer.

As I grew up, however, and flowered, I fell in love with the Vicomte de Valmont character from "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," by Choderlos de Laclos, brought flawlessly to the big screen by John Malkovich in the movie, "Dangerous Liaisons."


I like my men fast and dirty.

[NMDemDist2]

70. i just saw that movie this weekend

he was something wasn't he?

[arwalden]

7. Wally Cleaver, Little Joe Cartwright, Robby Douglas, Greg Brady...

Stringfellow Hawke, Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Ahhhhh Wally Cleaver...I was going to marry him when I grew up...

:)

[2Design]

79. little joe.... I used to have posters of him hung on all my walls.....when

that show was on

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

85. OMG WALLY CLEAVER???

You too????? I swear I have mentioned that to people in real life and they always look at me weirdly. I have never found anyone who drooled over him like I did.

Whoo. Wally can clean my clock anytime. But only AS Wally and only how he looked then. Well, no, that'd be gross now that I am 34 and he was about 16. Um....nevermind.

[pnorman]

8. "Elaine Nardo" in the sit-com "Taxi"

(Marilu Henner)

pnorman

[floridaguy]

10. Jan Brady of the Brady Bunch

:loveya:

[MissMillie]

11. Aragorn!!!!!!!

Also: Steve Martin had two roles that I really liked--one in Parenthood and one in L.A. Story.

[terrya]

12. J.D from "Scrubs".

Cute, cute, cute. :-)

[arwalden]

13. I Knew You Would Say That

[terrya]

24. I'm so predictable.

[arwalden]

14. Tyr Anasazi

from Andromeda. (Grrwoof!)

[Drifter]

15. When I was young ...

I was absolutely in love with ... Christy McNichols.

I was into the Tom-Boy girl look then.

Cheers
Drifter

[Lavender Brown]

17. Mr. Darcy

from "Pride and Prejudice" - the 1995 version with Colin Firth. I loved this character in the movie and in the book. They're remaking it with Keira Knightley and some other guy, which really kind of irritates me. Most unnecessary remake EVER! It's only been 10 years. x(


Sigh. :loveya:

[Aristus]

22. You take Darcy, I'll take Miss Elizabeth Bennett.

I'm a raging, masculine hunk of hetero man, but I LOVE "Pride And Prejudice". All those pretty girls with their boobs hanging out.

"Well, you see, my child, from this day forward you must be a stranger to one of your parents. For your mother declares that she will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins......and i will never see you again........if you DO."

"OH MISTER BENNETT!!!!!!"

[Lavender Brown]

23. Capital! Capital!

:)

[philosophie_en_rose]

32. How are they going to make that film better?

:shrug: And Americans as Mr. Bennett and Lydia??

[Lavender Brown]

50. I know!

I also don't see how they could get a better Lizzie than Jennifer Ehle. They could make a movie with better production values, I guess, but the cast can't be replaced.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. I can't believe it! Me, too!

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread, LOL! I have seen this excellent version countless times. I have seen Colin Firth in other things, but it's just not the same. This was perfect casting. They're remaking it again?! What a waste of time and money. This version was just excellent.:-)

[Lavender Brown]

51. They really missed the boat, didn't they?

the whole Austen movie thing happened in the 90s, so you'd think they would have made a feature film of P & P then. But the miniseries was just so popular., it wasn't necessary :)

[Rhiannon12866]

64. That's very true. I think they filmed every one of her books at the time

I wondered why they bothered to make a feature film version of "Emma," even though the A & E version was also excellent, but it didn't have the star power of the film. Next to this version of P & P, my other favorite is "Persuasion." If you haven't seen it, it is very well done, though the male lead is hardly a heartthrob, LOL!:D

[noonwitch]

18. Robert Scorpio on "General Hospital"

He was so good looking and so heroic.

I also liked the actor.

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. Oh man!!! Oh Man!!! I forgot that! Me too!!!

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

65. I just loved him, as well! Great accent!

Whatever happened to him, anyway? The last time I saw him, it was long ago on an infomercial.:-(

[RFKHumphreyObama]

20. My choices

1. “Dr Eva Warden” (Beth Broderick) from Maternal Instincts (1996)

[He loved Big Brother]

25. E. Edward Grey from "Secretary"

Ooh la la...

[Speck Tater]

26. Annie Oakley on TV, back in the 1950's

BROADCAST HISTORY:
Produced; Apr 1953-Dec 1956 (81 Episodes)
Released;January 1954
CAST:
Annie Oakley.........................Gail Davis
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig.......Brad Johnson
Tagg Oakley.........................Jimmy Hawkins


From: "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows" by Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh


Pigtails and pistols were the formula in one of the 1950's more unusual Westerns. Five-foot-two, 95 pounds, and cute as a button, Annie was also a crack shot and the scourge of badmen around her hometown of Diablo, where she lived with her kid brother, Tagg (the rest of the immediate family was unaccounted for). Towering Deputy Lofty Craig was her friend and silent suitor, and Annie's uncle, Luke MacTavish, was the seldom-seen town sheriff. Co-starring were the horses--Annie's Target, Lofty's Forest, and Tagg's Pixie.

[wickerwoman]

27. Maximus in Gladiator, but not Russell Crowe.

Aidan in Sex and the City, but not really John Corbett.
Louise's boyfriend in Thelma and Louise, but not Michael Madsen.
ditto Thelma's fling but not Brad Pitt.
Verbal Kint in the Usual Suspects, but not Kevin Spacey.
Basey in Empire of the Sun, but no John Malkovich.
Logan on Law and Order, but definitely not Chris Noth.
Murdoch from the A-Team, but not Dwight Schultz.
Peter Brady

Yeah, a couple. I don't even want to think what this says about my taste in men. :-(

[Cybergata]

55. How could I forget...

Chris in the Morning from Northern Exposure.

:hippie:

[Magrittes Pipe]

28. My first true love was Clarissa Darling.

She could "explain it all" to me anytime. :evilgrin:

[mrboba1]

29. Alyssa Milano character

when I was a kid and so was she. I never missed that show (with Tony Danza that I cannot for the life of me remember the name of)

[ScreamingMeemie]

63. Who's the Boss

:hi:

[histohoney]

30. In my youth

I had a thing for the John Gage character on "Emergency"(Lordy, I am getting old)
Now as an adult, I have a thing for who every Ted Ramie plays, not Ted, just his goofy characters.

[RobinA]

58. Me Too

Randolph Mantooth. When Emergency came on TVLand a couple years ago I checked it out just to see if he was as good as I thought he was when I was 10. He was.

[Sequoia]

31. Scotty from ST and Victoria's Bro on High Chaparel

as a matter of fact, my husband kinda looks like him (HC).

[WI_DEM]

33. Buddy, the Kristy McNichol character on "Family"

She was awesome.

[mac56]

34. Bailey Quarters from "WKRP in Cincinnati"

photocred: members.aye.net

:9

[Blue-Jay]

73. Smart woman with glasses!

God, I loved her when I was a but wee bairn.

[LowerManhattanite]

76. Okay...this is the fourth message board I've been on two years...

...where Bailey's name has come up as a character "crush" in a thread like this.


My best bud Mike is also a member of this illustrious but secretive club.

[Commendatori]

35. Angie Harmon in L&O, Eliza Dushku

I like tough-but-hot brunettes. :)

[Shananigans]

36. No, but I used to want to marry my "Derek" Barbie Doll from

Barbie and the Rockers... for a piece of plastic he was one hunka-hunka burnin love!

[Cybergata]

37. John Crichton

Aragon





and since the 1970s...ZONKER HARRIS




:hippie:

[Lindsey]

38. Nate Fisher on Six Feet Under...

and I'm a lesbian! Also, Tia Leoni in The Family Man.

[AlCzervik]

39. When i was a kid my first ever crush was on

Speed Racer, oh he was fine!

[truthspeaker]

40. Lisa Miller from "NewsRadio"

Or Maura Tierney in real life, whichever.

[soleft]

57. currently goes by the name Abbie Lockhard, MD

[Aristus]

71. She has the most beautiful lips of any woman on Earth.

Just stunning! :loveya:

[truthspeaker]

99. Her NewsRadio character was more appealing to me

But I think she's doing really well with a dramatic role.

[yellowcanine]

41. Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown." Totally hot.

.

[rbnyc]

42. Yeah, right now I have a crush on that over-the-top detective...

...on Law and Order Criminal Intent. I can't help it. Now matter how much he exaggerates that inquisitive tilt of the head, I just want to be interrogated by him until I totally surrender.

[doctorbombeigh]

52. I'm having a big ol' crush on Mr. Monk these days

Other than that... the list is endless.

[doctorbombeigh]

53. And Toby - from the West Wing

Okay so between Mr. Monk and Toby from the West Wing, I'm obviously a complete geek. Oh well, it's not like that's a surprise or anything.

[Cybergata]

54. Ever since I placed Vincent D'Onofrio as....

the Bug in the first "Men In Black" and the Psycho in "The Cell," he gives me the creeps. He plays creepy characters all too well.

Now Jamey Sheridan's character when he was in John Sayle's "Shannon's Deal" or even better as Devil in "The Stand" in those tight blue jeans (hubba hubba) as just a physical thing, now that's someone I could have a crush on (former) or the hots (the later) for.

:hippie:

[rbnyc]

97. He's played so many great characters...

...and I never realized it was the same actor til I looked at his filmography. I avoided seeing The Cell, but now I think I'll rent it.

[sniffa]

44. rainbow brite

i so wanted her! i stiLL think she's hot. :D

[Viking12]

45. Maggie O'Connell on Northern Exposure

Played by Janine Turner who is not all that interesting as herself or any other character.

[pink-o]

74. She's

a big ole Bush supporter.:wtf:

Too bad, loved her tough chick feminist part on NE

[SarahB]

46. Agent Mulder (X-Files), Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything), ....

the Professor (Gilligan's Island)

[niceperson]

47. tuxedo mask

of sailor moon . The crush encompasses T.M. Darien, and the moonlight knight

[GreenPartyVoter]

48. I am more partial to characters than actors, for sure!

[Radical Activist]

49. Jennifer Connelly's character in Waking the Dead

is my dream woman.

[Kat45]

60. 'John Black' on "Days of Our Lives"

He is gorgeous, and the character is extremely sexy.

[maveric]

61. Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

Still the hottest of the feline fatales.

[mitchum]

84. You said it!

I was five and knew that I wanted to do SOMETHING with her. I didn't what, but...

[guitar man]

66. Donna from that 70's show

I really have a thing for her. I like the actress too, I think she's hot! :loveya:

[Race4Peace]

80. ahhhh...<drools>

aaiiiieeeee!!!!

[LDS Jock]

67. Angel from Angel

I think he is just a beautiful man, and love the whole vampire thing. He can bite me anytime.

[Cybergata]

68. I like Spike better....

but I think it all his Punk Bad Boy Attitude that gets to me. It doesn't hurt that he would give his life to save the world.

:hippie:

[NMDemDist2]

69. ILLYA KURYAKIN

he was a dream boat :smoke:

[LowerManhattanite]

72. Had a crush on three...

...MTM's "Laura Petrie", Josie and the Pussycats "Val" (Her slo-mo tambourine shake during the end credits I still find myself hypnotized by), and yes, Hepburn's "Holly Golightly".

YOU try being a writer in NYC (like Peppard's "Paul") and stroll the streets and NOT imagine you had the beautiful Miss Golightly on your arm from time to time.

[pink-o]

75. Nobody Mentioned Spock

Oh, God now I feel like a total geek!

I was 12, okay? But I think his character gave me my weakness for Virgo men, who've always managed to break my little Saj heart.

[TOhioLiberal]

86. Spock's a virgo?

Leonard Nimoy's b-day is March 26th...:shrug:

[pink-o]

102. The Character, not the actor

Both Nimoy and Shatner are Aries. But Kirk is a Leo and Spock is a Virgo.

Trust me: I've done horoscopes since Trek's second season:)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

78. Sorta, actually.

Jake Epstein's character (Craig) in Degrassi: The Next Generation... up until this season until he grew to be a jerk.




Although I do have a thing for Jake Epstein himself... ;)

[Race4Peace]

81. 2, actually. both are cartoons

Rouge the Bat:


And

Kim Possible:



Please inform me of any poor judgement

[sir_captain]

83. Sloane from Ferris Bueller's Day Off

reminded me of my high school girlfriend

[Marvelous_Smarty]

88. May Munro

The character Sharon Stone played in "The Specialist!" She looked awesome and dripped with cool!

She had a line right after she punched James Woods in the mouth and he held a gun to her face, "Go ahead! I don't give a shit!" Her voice just dripped with contempt and her grey eyes burned with hate.

I fell in love with May Munro at the moment she was being the biggest bitch!

[UdoKier]

87. Lee Remick.

The most stunning eyes I have ever seen.

Elizabeth Montgomery was a close second.

[Leggs Akimbo]

89. Mathew Broderick in anything

[DoveTurnedHawk]

90. When I Was 11 I Had a Crush on a Comic Book Character

Kitty Pryde was the bomb. :-)

DTH

[Race4Peace]

91. Anybody?

[neverborn]

92. YES

[msu2ba]

93. Donna and Anne

Donna from "That 70's Show"
and
"Anne of Green Gables" - Megan Follows

(Definitely a thing for gorgeous redheads)

[VOX]

95. Maggie O'Connell of "Northern Exposure"

Although her boyfriends seemed to meet early (and very strange) demises.

And it's unfortunate that Janine Turner's a Republican.

[Bridget Burke]

96. Chris, the DJ in Northern Exposure.

John Corbett is just a cute actor. Chris was certainly good looking, but he was also well-read & articulate (at times). It helped that he was well-read in some of my favorite books.

Crushes from long ago--Ilya Kuriakin & Mr. Spock.

Recently: Another Aragorn fan. (Not that there's anything wrong with Viggo.)

[Cybergata]

101. I agree on Chris in the Morning...

the character. He was so introspective, earthy, and well read. He discussed culture, art, music, philosophy, etc. What a great character.

I once was lucky to visit the Redmond set of Northern Exposure and watch some filming. John Corbett is even better looking in real life. He seems rather shy, but he is tall and gorgeous.

Even Barry Corbin (Maurice) is good looking in real time.

...and there is nothing wrong with Viggo, indeed. I like him better with blond hair anyway.

:hippie:

[Radical Activist]

98. Tracy Flick from Election

I know she's evil but I can't help it. hehe :) Pick flick!

[truthspeaker]

100. Eowyn from LoTR!

Hell, I was in love with the character from the book long before they cast the delectable Miranda Otto to play her in the movies.
