The Ubiquitous Samuel L. Jackson James McAvoy

It is rare that I go ga-ga over an actor. And I am not going ga-ga now. Well maybe a little. It is just kind of nice that Shameless' James McAvoy is hitting it big.

He's everywhere at the moment. First Mr Tumnus, then the last king of Scotland. He has three movies coming out in the next few months, one in post production and another kicking off.

I am starting to think you can't get a film greenlit unless James is in it.

Wouldn't that be nice.

Anyway, here is a snippet of why he is so great. Some bravura acting from Channel 4's Shameless. This has to be one of the most heart-wrenching scenes on television in the last few years. (And how far downhill did Shameless go when he left?)



Okay, so you want to see more. Check out these new flicks with Jimmy. There's one about a pig girl, one about an Essex lad and one about some English broad who wrote shit.

Click on the pretty pics to be whisked away so you can stare at James.

I know it's silly to be thinking it already, but I'm predicting him for an Academy Award nomination next year for Atonement.

I'm not remotely ga-ga over the man though.

I'm with you on the ga-ga. I can't get enough of the lad.

I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but he was t he main reason I went to see the Last King of Scotland.

Very happy to see he's getting so much more work. Although pig girl? really?

Hey Mike,

Just a quick one...

I now have a new Blogger address:

www.soyoungsopretty.blogspot.com

Please update your links list. I deleted 'Steven from Melbourne' and some opportunistic git has turned it into a porn site! The internet is a crazy place!

Thanks (and sorry for the trouble).

Cheers, Steven from Melbourne (in London).
