Where have I seen that guy before?
In my growing obsession with all things Veronica Mars - particularly my newly established crush on Logan Echolls (played wonderfully by Jason Dohring) - it occurred to me that Logan/Jason reminded me of someone, but I couldn't think who until I read an article about the show.
For you non-Mars-ophiles, that's Logan on the right. And of course Francophilian icon Mickey Rourke on the left.
Okay, he may not be your thing, but I had SUCH a crush on Mickey Rourke for a while, especially in Diner and 9 1/2 Weeks. And he has (or had, rather) an excessively charming-yet-damaged bad-boy vibe, which is probably the key to Logan's appeal. Well, that and the fact that when he wants to be he can be downright sensitive. Almost ... caring. It's eerie how much Dohring looks like Rourke, though. And that Logan is a very similar character in a lot of ways to the characters Rourke often played in the 1980s.
Anyway, it's nice to have that mystery solved. That may not be a new observation at all (in fact, I wonder how many people have come up to him and made that comparison already), but I'm new to all this. :P Have been uploading VM icons like a mad woman - I have 5 already and am looking for more with some of the other characters. *clutches tightly to semblance of a life before it slips away*

I like this comparision much better, though. :)
