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....
