Another piece written for someone else. You ought to click through and give it a read, though: the film clip is pretty damn good….
GayGamer.net gives a big birthday shout-out to prettyboy Ioan Gruffudd (a Welsh name with the unlikely pronunciation “YO-an GRIFF-ith”), who turns 33 girlish years young today! Of course, most of us know Ioan from his performances as Reed Richards in the film and videogame Fantastic Four, a role he’ll reprise in 2007 with the release of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, or perhaps from his guest spot on Justice League as Mr. Miracle. But Ioan’s had an even longer, more illustrious career on the other side of the pond, starring in Pobol y Cwm (the longest-running soap opera on the BBC), the critically acclaimed film Wilde, and as Horatio Hornblower on the TV series, Hornblower. (In fact, if you want to get a look at Mr. Gruffudd’s, er, talent, you might check out the third clip from the “Mutiny” episode, which is available for download on Ioan’s website.)
Oh: and if you haven’t come to see L’imitation of Life, you’ve only got two more chances. I’m serious this time….
