I just discovered North & South 4 months ago. I love period dramas. I have to say this is the most informative site, for an actor that I’ve come across. You do a great job keeping us up to date on RA. Love the “pics of the day”. Keep up the great work

Thank you very much, that's very kind.

Ali, I just got this link with an interview from Richard in a Syndey Herald from my cuisin's wife in Sydney : http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/movies/it-cost-16m-to-get-a-face-like-this-richard-armitages-thorin-make-over-for-the-hobbit/story-e6frexli-1226633125451 Hope you like it!

Hi Sadie, that's actually the same article I posted in the news yesterday (item #4) from MovieFix. The Australian press just reprinted it on various sites.

Thanks anyway

Ali

Ali, I love all the new Sydney updates on Richard. I was trying to get to the Popcorn Q&A but was unable to buy tickets, the stuff you put on your site is a nice alternative :). Keep up the good work & I can't wait for new movies from Richard to hit the big screen!

So sorry to hear you couldn't get a ticket. I'm told the video will be uploaded very soon, so hopefully we can all share in that wonderful evening soon.

Dear Ali! I just want to thank you for your wonderful fansite. It is just incredible what I can find here. I have discovered Richard just a couple of months ago. I love English period drama so I ordered the North and South DVD... and I have been in love ever since. Never happend to me before with any other actor. So thank you again and love from Germany, Zoe

Thanks for leaving a comment Zoe, it's nice to hear from you and thanks for visiting.

Has anyone seen pictures of Richard playing the cello? I saw one picture in a fan vid so they must be somewhere? I had to look hard to glimpse that one.

Hi Island Girl, no there haven't been any genuine pictures of him playing the cello, the picture you saw was photoshopped.

Ali

dear ali , does Richard look a little slim in the photos from aussy ?do hope hes ok . what do you think?wish i could be there!!!!!thanks for all your hard work.

He looks pretty good to me!

I remember reading an interview with RA and he stated that he would "like to act in a film without special effects". He also said that he would like to be in a film in which he is "not fighting or inflicting pain" like he has been in many of his roles. However, I see RA as the next James Bond, after Daniel Craig decides to move on from 007. He has already had practice in acting as a secret agent in Spooks/MI-5 and I think that he would fit the part perfectly. Even if he doesn't become the next 007, he will always be the next 007 to me.

Hi Elizabeth

I ran a poll on this site in Dec 2009 - Feb 2010 asking that very question, the results are here.
