This week, I'm going with a choice of my own, although I'm pretty sure someone has suggested him at one time or another. Colin Salmon, who recently appeared in "Doctor Who" as the mysterious Doctor Moon, is one of Britain's most renowned actors.

(From IMBD) With a bold voice and posture, Colin makes his characters a favorite among audiences for every role he plays. He made his debut in a lead role as Sgt. Robert Oswald in the British mega-hit mini-series "Prime Suspect 2" (1992) (mini), which gave him much acclaim among British audiences. He had a recurring role in three of the James Bond films as Charles Robinson, M's Chief of Staff. In fact, because of Colin's deep, commanding voice and graceful demeanor, Pierce Brosnan himself suggested that Colin be tapped to be the next James Bond.

He has also appeared as the Commander James "One" Shade in the movie Resident Evil (2002) and played Oonu, squad leader of the Skybax in the mini-series "Dinotopia" (2002/I) (mini). His other film credits include The Bank Job, Alien Vs Predator, Match Point and the upcoming Credo and Punisher. On television, he has appeared in genre shows such as "Hex" and "Sea of Souls," as well as in main-stream programs such as "Bad Girls' and "Keen Eddie."

In 1993, People Magazine listed him as one of "The 50 Most Beautiful People in the World."

What can I say? I'm sucker for a classy guy with a sexy voice.

Feel free to post any pictures of your own that you may have---as long as they're "work safe."
 
He's hawt but his little mouth makes him look sort of angry somehow. I give him a very high meh.
 
Looks like it's going to be uphill for Salmon. :rommie:

I liked Dr Moon. Thumbs Up. :bolian:
 
I've spent several days trying to figure this one out, and the best I can do is somewhere between "meh" and "thumbs up". :lol:
 
He's making the same face in every single picture!:guffaw:

Haven't seen him in anything that i would rememeber so i'm going meh on this guy.
 
I've only seen his work in the Bond films (as Charles Robinson), but I think he would make a fine Bond himself.

In fact, in screen tests for other actors auditioning for Die Another Day, he did just that.
