Over the years some people (including me) have noted that HJ and actor Richard Armitage (known lately as Thorin in the HOBBIT movies) share some physical characteristics. I saw Armitage in the Off-Broadway comedy-drama LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and the resemblance is still there. In fact, he's looking really good. In the opening scene of the play, with the help of a wig, he's supposed to be a student at Oxford and I bought it, even though I know he's 45. This is his NY stage debut and it's an auspicious one. Late edit: It seems Mr. Armitage is not unaware of the resemblance: www.tv3.ie/xpose/article/entertainment-news/219725/Richard-Armitage-Im-not-Hugh-Jackman

This is the actor who has bee keeping me busy during the Hugh-drought.
He's talented, pretty and seems to be a nice guy. And he works a lot. Unfortunately, a lot of his work is in independent films or not in English which makes it hard to track down but there's also some mainstream TV. He's not like Hugh (but no one is) but there's something about him that makes me think of how Hugh might have been without Wolverine and Deb. It's probably the combination of theatrical training and moving from a small local market to the US for the opportunities. Although a lot of Canadian actors have been very successful in the US, it's still rare for a French-Canadian actor.
Despite a fangirly title, I think this could be a genuine demo-reel covering his work over the last five years.
