Friday Fix

Ok, so it's Friday which means only one thing.  Yep, my Little Black Book is being dusted off so I can present another very sexy extremely talented young man for my your pervy fantasies viewing pleasure.  Today has been a little bit flat for a variety of reasons so for that reason (not that I exactly need a reason, but humour me), today's Lust List entry is the very lovely and very Scottish Mr Richard Madden...

Best known for playing Robb Stark in the acclaimed HBO drama series 'Game of Thrones', Richard Madden's first acting experience came as a child when he joined a local drama group at the age of 11 in an attempt to overcome his shyness.  His first breakthrough role came in the children's TV show "Barmy Aunt Boomerang", followed by a critically acclaimed part in an adaptation of Iain Bank's "Complicity", which involved his character being raped by Jonny Lee Miller.  Interesting start to his career aside, he then decided that all the hassle he got from his schoolmates wasn't worth it and gave up the acting lark.  As he got older, however, he realised he still wanted to act and graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 2007.  He has won critical acclaim for his roles in theatre (most notably Romeo in Romeo and Juliet in 2007, just before he graduated, and as Callum in the 2008 stage production of Malorie Blackman's phenomenal book Noughts and Crosses - if you haven't read it you really should because it's brilliant).  Richard has also been in various film and TV roles including Sirens on Channel 4, Hope Springs on the BBC and the utterly brilliant "Worried About The Boy", an utterly brilliant BBC drama about the life of Boy George in which he played Kirk Brandon, singer of Theatre of Hate and, more recently, Spear of Destiny.

As well as all the critical acclaim for his acting, Richard was also named one of Esquire magazine's "Hottest Stars of 2010" and one of Screen International's "Stars of Tomorrow 2011" (where the hell have they been for the past few years?  Keep up, Screen International!)  More importantly, given that he's a bit of a dedicated follower of fashion, the not-at-all-hideous Mr Madden was also named "Most Stylish Male" at the Scottish Style Awards 2010, thus proving once and for all there really is something worth investigating among all those tartan kilts...I'm sorry, I'll switch my perv-switch off again now...

Actually, screw it.  I've had a bad day and he makes me feel better.  So until next Friday, I shall be perving over studying the remarkable talents of Richard Madden...
