Richard Armitage became my favorite actor ever when I saw him in North and South which has become my favorite drama ever, surpassing my previous favorite, the period drama, Pride and Prejudice.

Since then I have scrounged to find everything I can that he has been in, and while some of the programs have only been average, his performances have always been good, and where the program and script allows, he has been excellent.

I find him mesmerizing to watch and listen to, he has wonderful eyes and a wonderful voice, and he has a less is more acting style which really appeals to me. He seems to inhabit his characters and you don't feel he is acting.

Programs I would recommend are the BBC's North and South, the final two episodes of The Vicar of Dibley, Between the Sheets, Sparkhouse, The Impressionists and see him at his most vile in the BBC's 2006 version of Robin Hood.

Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe were outstanding in this mini-series. I have watched many of good actresses and actors...and many were outstanding...but I have never felt the need to write a review as I do now. My collection of movies are all time greats...and I know talent when I see it...and these two people are really really good!!! Its very rare to see such talent as these two have shown. I never buy a movie unless its good, and after viewing it on tv I bought the movie and watched it not once but 3 times in one night...it was that good. I never watch the special features on a DVD, but I had to see the interview with Richard Armitage. Had to chuckle...his favorite part of the movie scenes were mine as well, especially the ending, must have played that 7 - 8 times. Took the movie to work and shared it with 7-8 friends who are into love stories. Don\'t care for love stories unless they are really really good.

Richard played John Thornton very well. His acting talent is incredible and very refreshing. Can\'t say we have an actor this good, because acting is more than taking a part and acting, its becoming that characater and I must say Richard stepped into this character very well. Can\'t say enough about the acting and this movie. He is definitely a most talented and intriguing actor, hope to see him take on more of these complicated characters in the furture.

Richard Armitage is fabulous as John Thornton in the BBC North & South. He is "hotter than a thousand suns"! He is the definitive John Thornton. He has charisma and steals each and every scene he is in. I can't wait to see him as John Standring...

Richard Armitage is fabulous as John Thornton in the BBC North & South. He is "hotter than a thousand suns"! He is the definitive John Thornton. He has charisma and steals each and every scene he is in. I can't wait to see him as John Standring in Sparkhouse. This actor should be getting more starring roles.
