icarusWhile stuck on the next scene of my skating fic, I've been scoping out David Hewlett fansites. Things I've learned about his career in the process:
- David is frequently badly dressed, in colors that might sear out your eyes.
- David has a lot of nude scenes for a man who hasn't actually done porn (gay, straight or other), even though he is rarely (never?) the romantic lead. He's often the only one standing naked in the shower, or shirtless, or in his underwear what-have-you.
- David is often kissed, despite the fact that he's, once again, not the romantic lead.
- If David is the boyfriend, he's the ex-boyfriend, or the drug-dealer boyfriend.
- David looks good in hats.
- David's characters are generally doomed!
- David has played a lot of homicidal maniacs, pedophiles, drug addicts, drug dealers, drunks -- did I mention the homicidal maniacs? These characters are strangely sympathetic even as they make your skin crawl.
- Where David isn't playing a homicidal maniac, he is the amusing sidekick. If not the amusing drunk sidekick, or the amusing loser sidekick, or...
- David moves around too much to look good in a suit. He's rumpled in seconds.
- David's been gay in a fair number of movies, which makes me happy.
- Guns. David has carried a gun a surprising amount. Usually, he's the guy pointing it at the helpless victim, or otherwise is the pathetic (doomed!) soldier, or the bumbling (doomed!) thief.
- If David plays a cop it's barely more than a walk-on.
- David was a father once. It's such an anomaly that it stands out.
- David's been in a lot of sci-fi, supernatural and just-plain-weird movies. In these he's often doomed! or else he's the essential scientist (and also doomed).
- David likes being nude. He's nude in a piece that he wrote, directed and starred in. This is someone who likes nudity.
- I like David to be nude as well, so intend to do whatever I can to encourage this particular habit. Surely Dr. McKay will need to be stripped down and fumigated from some trip to a planet where he's allergic to everything.*
ETA: The most interesting-sounding movies of David's that I haven't seen:
Cube
Elevated
Clutch
Others:
Treed Murray
Icemen
*ETA2: I am now taking suggestions for various ways in which Dr. McKay can end up nude in an SGA episode, with varying degrees of plausibility allowed. So far we have the allergic fumigation, the cloth-eating nanites....

Date: 2006-03-05 02:12 am (UTC)Oh man, I can just picture him torturing someone.
"Oh, god, don't make me do this, I hate the screams and the blood..."
"I will not talk!" says recalcitrant Genii terrorist.
"No? You won't tell me where John is?"
"Never!"
"Okay, oh man, this is going to be gross!" and Rodney closed his eyes and used the snippers he got from Kate to cut off the man's ring finger.
"YOU CUT MY FINGER OFF YOU BASTARD!"
"I told you I would!" screamed Rodney, backing rapidly away from the spuring blood. "Oh this is digusting! There's blood everywhere, I'm going to fain... I mean, pass out. I just know it, I'm not meant to be doing this! I'm a scientist! Tell me where John is so I don't have to cut off another one!"
"No, you wouldn't... AAAARGH"
"Okay, that's another finger, oh man, there's blood all over me, I'm going to puke... you never saw Reservoir Dogs, did you? Because, seriously, I am so going to cut your ear off next! Where's John? Don't make me pour petrol over you and set you on fire. I have other Genii here I could torture, you know!"
"Okay, okay..."
And so the genii would break and Rodney would be all freaked out and shower for a week, but he'd get John back. And even though John may have been tortured by the genii, it's Rodney who would demand comfort and snacks.
Oh, and "Here... Ronon. I saved the er, bits, for you. You could make jewellry out of them."
"Oh, cool!" says Ronon, and goes off to make himself some finger earrings to match his finger necklace.

Date: 2006-03-05 03:03 am (UTC)I'm gonna marry you, I swear.
It's complete crack, and yet I can so see Rodney doing something along this lines. *coughtrascendentalcough*
Plus: Finger Jewelry! It's the new rave.

John's be all like "OMGWTF!? I was tortured!" and Rodney would be like, "I HAD TO CUT OFF FINGERS!! DO YOU REALIZE HOW GROSS THAT IS?! And the blood got all over me? Do you know how many diseases I could be suffering from RIGHT NOW from that?" And John would find him having to comfort Rodney as he listed off all the possible things he could have picked up.
John would defiantly pout after this. . .

In honour of your penguins, I shall use a far less offensive icon. How's that?
