Wow, someone else thought Warwick Davis in Willow was hot? I felt alone in finding a pissed-off dwarf sexy.

Yeah, apparently D'Onofrio's Welles wasn't so hot, so LaMarche dubbed it. He's utterly lovely.

[sassygrrl]

I didn't know he did Welles in Ed Wood. Hmm.

I know how rad would it be to go lingerie shopping with Eddie?

I'm with you on the Ghostbuster orgasm...

[auralpoison]

My first 'gasm was Bill Murray/Ghostbuster enduced when I was eleven. Still got the Murray love.

WOW. I didn't think anybody had the LaMarche love but me. He did his Welles impression for D'Onofrio in Ed Wood.

Eddie Izzard, especially in drag. How can you not dig a guy that you can buy lingerie for?

Jeremy Irons has had the skinny old-man with strong features look for a long time, so he's remained attractive. I still associate his voice with Scar from The Lion King though.

I had a crush on Egon too. I liked the nerdy scientest type in the movie and the cartoon. (Checking IMDB, Maurice LaMarche, whose voice I like a lot, did Egon. Cool.)

From IMDB on Maurice:

His most famous character, "The Brain," from the Emmy-winning "Pinky and the Brain," is a take-off on actor Orson Welles (the inspiration for his impression came from a recording of Orson ranting during the taping of a British frozen peas commercial).

LaMarche abruptly retired from performing after the tragic murder of his beloved father in 1987. Since then, he is known to be a very private man and surprisingly did a rare public performance at the San Diego Comic-Con International Convention in 2002. He and fellow voice actors Rob Paulsen and Jess Harnell did several skits and Lamarche was greeted by thunderous applause when he did his most favorite incarnation, The Brain. He returned again for Comic Con 2003 for an encore.

janie, that's hilarious! I've had quite my share of Star Trek crushes. Kirk (back in the day), Picard, Spock, Riker, Gordi, Lt. Paris (from Voyager) and of course Wesley Crusher. Never quite had a crush on Data, but when he was heartbroken I totally wanted to comfort him. lol! (Can you tell I'm a Trekkie?)

Saw part of Man in the Iron Mask yesterday on tv. *sigh* I know it grosses my friends out, but I remain attracted to Jeremy Irons. He's probably old enough to be my grandpa, but mmmmmm, that voice! So I guess you can add me to the old-man crushes crowd!

greenbean, go for it! (and Ghostbusters?! hahaha...I used to be madly in love with Egon. The cartoon and the movie version.)

[janie90]

I had a major crush on Yoda, when I was 24, I'm 30 now. I think it was the ears, also Dr. Spock is preety cool too. I know, that's kinda freaky, my first first crushes were River Phoenix, when I was 12 and Corey Haim, back in the late '80s.

[greenbean]

Hey! We should have "weird crush" awards! Like we can all vote on who are the most popular weird crushes (i.e Alan Rickman, Crispin Glover) and maybe a seperate award for common childhood crushes, and also a seperate award for the WEIRDEST most uncommon crush, like, didnt someone say Laura Bush? That one might win. What do y'll say? If anyone is on board I could set up a tally system.

[mornington]

Oh yes, eddie izzard... even in drag.

for some reason... patrick stewart. I also suffer from old-man crushes (sean connery, sean bean, alan rickman, etc etc etc)

[herculesgirl]

OMG yes on Kevin Spacey. Especially in "Swimming With Sharks"...

[sassygrrl]

I so lust after Eddie....yummy!! Kevin Spacey does have that devil smirk doesn't he?

[sixelacat]

Okay, maybe it's because I'm a lesbian that this first crush is so weird, but Kevin Spacey. I don't know why. It's something about his smirk.
Second, Eddie Izzard. Smart deviants in drag. Mmmmm.....

[greenbean]

My first sexual feelings were for the Ghostbusters. All of them.
Actually my first crush was on Jodie Foster in "Freaky Friday" but I thought she was a boy (I was 5).

[jemisoutrageous]

My first sexual feelings were for Cory Hart in his "never surrender" video so I am partial to spiky-haird boyos who wear thier sunglasses at night.
My old man crush is for John Malkovitch, that silky voice, those chocolate eyes, le sigh.

TOOTLING OWN HORN:I totally started this thread and it has thrived....

[doodlebug]

Hmm....I remember watching Elias Koteas in Ninja Turtles with my 7 year old nephew. Now I'm feeling really old.

[bunnyb]

annak, Tom Selleck, Sean Connery and Tom Skerrit are my old-man crushes . Sean Connery is older than my grandpa!

I love me some William Petersen and have recently began crushing on Mark Harmon. I can't remember my first experience of crushing on an older male but I was probably a tot too and it may have been Sean Bean as Sharpe. Or Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, mmmmm...

[anna_k]

Yeah, it sucks to find out some guy I'm crushing on was 30 when I was born. Especially since it creeps me out to be into guys my dad's age.

Watching Before Sunrise, Ethan Hawke asks Julie Delpy when she first had sexual feelings. I remember being 7 and seeing Ninja Turtles, and being turned on by Elias Koteas as a tough vigilante of the night, beating up harmless thugs in the park while masked in a hockey mask and swinging a bat and a hockey stick around. I was really intrigued by this mystery man who lived on his own and roamed the streets like it was his playground with no fear of anybody. That was my first sexual feeling.

My old man crushes are the usual: Willem Dafoe (skinny older men always seem to be the crush objects, except for Keith Richards), John Hurt in the 1970s, Robert Downey Jr. as a skinny but ripped former druggie, Tom Sizemore as a coked-up freak, Rob Zombie, Sam Rockwell, Eric Stoltz as a lecherous pretentious weirdo, etc.

[auralpoison]

AnnaK, we rock the same perversions. If he's old enough to be my father I get a wettie. I rememeber going to see Young Buns II & all my girlie friends were all about Christian Slater & the like. I was all about the Petersen. He makes my thighs melt.
