    of Hinds. Was your dad tall? :-) Nice looking fellow. Was this taken in the 40s.
    
    Hinds is a type I call a "manly man". Although I don't know exactly how to desribe what I mean by the term, it exerts a pretty powerful appeal and I can tell you Hinds has quite a few fangirls. His features a too strong to be a typical pretty boy or teen throb but he exerts a strong masculine appeal nonetheless.
    
    There are enuff boytoys.

      taken in Italy where he was stationed as a B-17 Pilot with the Army Air Corps. The look is that of one aquainted with grief you could say.
      
      I think the A & E Ivanhoe Miniseries was actually the first time I'd seen Hinds then in the Grenada Holmes series The Cardboard Box. Again from a Television production as the Mayor of Casterbridge he was just great.

        Your dad reminds me a bit of my father (6'1"), who also served in the Air Force during WW2, albeit on this side of the big pond.
        
        I first recal Ciaran from Persuasion, which would have been the mid 1990s.
        
        I also thought he was a terrific Ceasar in HBO's Rome.
        
        Great also in supporting parts in Oscar & Lucinda, Road To Perdition, Amazing Grace, Munich and much more. Always interesting to me.

          power that it unique and unusual. Enough with the "I feel your pain" leads, already.

            They seem to think that the proper role for a talented male British thespian is as a villain. They've done that to lots of 'em: Alan Rickman, Jeremy Northam, Rufus Sewell et al.
            
            Hinds doesn't fit the traditional leading man, but he pops up enogh in Brit T and independents to keep me intrigued. I keep hoping a starring role in something interetsing comes his way soon.
