Hey Manitas -

*grin* Good responses. Catherine Zeta-Jones... well, it's up to her, but I'm sure we're willing to share. sadly, she's not going out with him, she's married to him. What was she thinking?

I'm afraid that as bad as American soaps are and have been, British and Australian ones are worse. Come on, Home and Away?

It does seem to me that Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Peirce Brosnan, just to name a few, have made excellent good guys for quite a while, and I'm certain at least two of them are British. Roger Moore has to be, even if he isn't as good. I'm sure there are others who haven't even played James Bond. Anthony Hopkins, for goodness' sake - one of the foremen and best actors in Hollywood. I could go on. All of these, to my taste, are sufficiently 'manly' (except maybe Roger Moore).

What is this thing the British have against being patriotic, though?
