Yes, it's redirecting to "http://images.allmoviephoto.com/thief.gif." This is the one he meant.

Was just talking about Joanne Worley from Laugh-in earlier, so I'll go with that.

Michael Imperioli before the nose job. Bastard.

I hate that Owen Wilson did his nose too, but I think he is conventially attractive? Although possibly that's not a universally held thought.

I have a nose thing. Save the male schnozzes, Hollywood.

Vincent Kartheiser as Pete Campbell (not as Connor. And not "as" himself. totally not my type. just my type as a weaselly dude.)
Michael Imperioli before the nose job for me too!

Vincent Kartheiser

YES. But even as his weird, weird self. I love a weirdo.

Michael Imperioli had a nose job?? I need to read more celebrity gossip (or watch more bad NYPD Blue knockoffs).

Eide, *blushes* I had a crush on Joanne Worley as a kid. I have no idea why.

Is Mike Rowe considered conventionally attractive? Because I totally have a lesbian crush on him.

posted by mudpuppie 12 November | 11:25

Add Bret Sommers and Lily Tomlin. I like funny ladies.

posted by Eideteker 12 November | 11:40

Mike Rowe? is smokin hot.

posted by toastedbeagle 12 November | 11:45

Russell Brand.

I gotta disagree, he's SOOO conventionally attractive. Like, he could model.

posted by amro 12 November | 12:11

(Not that all models are conventionally attractive. I am undermining my point,which is that I think he's pretty subjectively hot by most standards.)

posted by amro 12 November | 12:12

And my pick is Zach Braff.

posted by amro 12 November | 12:12

Since I just finished this week's Fringe, I'm gonna say Lance Reddick.

Also, I never realized what a cute butt Joshua Jackson has. But he's conventionally attractive so skip that.

posted by WolfDaddy 12 November | 12:17

Lance Reddick? Not conventionally attractive? Whoa, he was my total Wire eye-candy. I don't know anyone that doesn't think he's smoking.

(But then i think Joshua Jackson is completely unattractive. Maybe my data pool is skewed :) )

posted by gaspode 12 November | 12:36

Reddick is a tall skinny bald man with rheumy/bloodshot eyes, which--to me--would be seem to be considered "unconventional". But then he's also buff as hell, as is plainly demonstrated in The Wire so perhaps my data pool's skewed as well. Heee.

posted by WolfDaddy 12 November | 13:33

I clearly have no idea what conventional attractiveness looks like.

posted by box 12 November | 13:57

Mike Rowe? From Dirty Jobs? Oh good, it's not just me.

Nathan Fillion
Hugh Laurie
Jim Parsons
James McAvoy

I have many girl crushes as well, but am no judge of conventionality in women.

posted by deborah 12 November | 15:27

Jeff Goldblum. *swoons*

posted by ramix 12 November | 16:44

Getting way too old for this but seconding Alan Rickman, including in his Snape incarnation. And adding Liam Neeson, Al Pacino, and Russell Crowe.

posted by bearwife 12 November | 17:27

Ooh, Sam Rockwell (I'm re-watching Moon right now).

posted by amro 12 November | 19:41

I would actually call Nathan Fillion conventionally attractive, thanks to having starred in a soap opera.

Richard Hammond
Jeremy Clarkson
James May
(Yes, I have Top Gear on the brain)

Eddie Izzard in drag
k.d. lang
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Ian McShane (as Lovejoy)
Jeremy Brett

I usually don't go for the wiry ones, but I can't help myself.
