Hehe! I don't think it's weird. He's good looking guy, in a sort of sardonic, British way, if that makes sense. He's tall and skinny and so incredibly pale and it works. Plus, his voice is to die for. You can't tell that from the icons, obviously, but it is.
Lewis/Inspector Lewis is a good series, if you want to check it out. He plays the sidekick police officer in it. He was also the suitor that wasn't James MacAvoy in Becoming Jane.
