  1. Young Victoria. I saw GOT and Black Book, but he had more scope in Victoria; characters tend to get lost in GOT unless they’re major ones.

  2. Doesn’t help the Ottoman Lieutenant that it was released at almost the same time as The Promise, and was a joint Turkish-American production set during WWI, yet makes no mention of the Armenian Genocide; came out unintentionally looking like they heard about The Promise and went “well we’re going to make a better movie that tells the real truth about how we totally didn’t try to kill off an entire group of people. Quick look at the pretty bland people falling in lurve.”

  3. Yeah, The Ottoman Lt. was a bit of a snoozer, but it was worth watching just for his gorgeousness. I loved The Potato Peel Society, just because that’s my sort of thing, but he was definitely an added bonus. My top choice for Man Candy!

  4. He’s not precisely platonically handsome – but my oh my does he take my breath away.

  5. Saw him in Young Victoria and Game of Thrones, but fell really hard for him in Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I’ve watched that movie so many times, if it were a cassette I would already have had to replace it.

  6. Oh dear…I just don’t know what to say. To me, Michael Huisman is one of those actors who I think IS good looking, but whose attractiveness always catches me by surprise. It’s like in every 5th thing I see him in, I think, “Whoa…WHAT A HOTTIE.” And in the other 4 pics I’m very mildly like, “yeah, he’s generically attractive.” Go figure!

    I just don’t know WHAT to think of him as a blond. I mean, he looks UNRECOGNIZABLE!!
    Is it nitpicking to point out that Huisman (though oh-so fine in ballet costume) is about 8 inches taller than Nureyev?? Even so, now I want to see this movie because I love Nureyev and Fonteyn.
    I read the Guernsey book before seeing the movie and I felt that Huisman was entirely too attractive for his part. In the book, the romance between to two characters sneaks up on them. And with Huisman looking like “HANDSOME CHOICE #1” from the first moment he’s on screen, it really undermined the surprise romance aspect of the book.
