SO SAD to see him go off that building at the end of MI-5 season 9…. I read somewhere that since so many characters get killed off on that show that when a new character started, they got to request what kind of death they wanted, but Armitage just told the scriptwriters to surprise him. I don’t know if that’s true or just a rumor, but I like it anyway.
Oh, yes, I watch very few TV series, but that is a series I like very much. It is streaming from Netflix now – I originally had bought it at iTunes before it was all available at Netflix (I don’t watch broadcast TV at all). The first 9 seasons are available; the 10th (final) season just ended and I haven’t seen it yet! I want to say Armitage was on the show for three seasons…?
Laura Gibbs , thanks for the video clip! He reminds me of Gerard Butler before he took on the oafish roles (Butler, I mean). And a bit of Hugh Jackman thrown in for good measure. Where is Maria Luisa A , she is my sister in fan girling on G+ 🙂 Which Robin Hood was he in, Shah Auckburaully ?
Oh. My. God. is right, Shah Auckburaully , I’m going to have to take a cold shower now, thanks to you 😉 Never heard of this BBC version, it’s going on my rental queue.

He was awesome in Robin Hood.
And I am sure he will be awesome in The Hobbit! 🙂

Laura Gibbs unless he’s an orc? 😛
Not at all: he has an awesome character, Thorin Oakenshield. Although he’s kind of tall for a dwarf, ha ha.

He played Guy of Gisborne in the BBC TV series, Robin Hood. His character was in love with Lady Marianne.
