Michael seems old school. Prolly the last of the men raised in a different time and with different values. He's romantic by nature anyway and seems to love his wife a lot and like married life enough to deal with what sounds like sheer madness. His plane fare is prolly double my annual salary. LOL!

I could say a dozen psychological and analytical things about his personal life/marriage To be honest I very much wanted to know your opinion about it. Very interestingly. Well, I never idealized ÌÅ as the person and as the man. I have my own opinion about these things, too. But it does not reduce my respect and my love to him because he's too clever and talented for seems a mediocrity. And you said very exact about his brain as main an erogenous zone Sorry for my English

I feel he would do nicely in a more romantic role, but he shies from them like the plague. Note his response in the replies to Edith's questions letter regarding him as sex symbol, "never going to happen." He refuses to see himself in that light, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I think he's intimidated as hell by our infatuation with him and our erotic idealizing of both his characters, and himself as a man. yeah, i sense that too... it's really weird to me cause i have the idea that if you're in Hollywood and you're doing fine with a movie or a show, you kinda feel special and appealling to the world, sp. if you have your fan club and all that. It's a shame some people don't see themselves as their freinds, family or fans see them: pure talent and a super strong sex appeal. And Michael shold be aware that every person has different likes (is this how you say it in English??), some might find him incredible attractive, like myself, and some won't; but the same happens to every person or thing in the world: not everybody likes the same, unless you're living in Aldo Huxley's book. For example i don't find Jack attractive, but Tigerlily does... and i find Vin Diesel extremely attractive too, but Silvia didn't... I think that in order to give Michaels career some "new" perspective, he should do something he never thought about doing: a romantic and sexy roll, or as you already mention PB, going back to his origins: the theater and wait till the LOST momentum passes so he is completely free to do whatever he wants next.

I've always taken Michael's self-deprecation as good manners mixed with a wise measure of discretion. I don't think he has a low opinion of himself in terms of being sexually attractive. He did manage to attract and marry a very sharp, attractive woman 12 years his junior, after all. My guess is he prolly thinks it's wise not to take the "I am hot!" route. Plus, he's so often working in the character actor category and they are rarely ever seen as sex symbols. And finally, it's probably as true among men as it is for women that being seen as a sex object is a touch degrading. I've read that Josh Holloway is getting rather tired of the image of shirtless hunk. Maybe once you might like that image, but once it's stuck on you, you'd best learn to deal with the subsequent slights to your intellectual and psychological nature.
Plus I always think actors (male and female) have a high ego-quotient. They have to, to throw themselves out there, get rejected and still snap back with as much energy and enthusiasm as before. If most of the rest of us went through that, we'd be emotional wrecks in a month or two. I know that there is the sensitivity of the artistic spirit, but boy, it's gotta be tough as nails to survive years in the world of acting, I would think.

so true Mythic!
I'm kinda surprised by the Holloway part... it is weird but i never thought of him as a "shirtless hunk". First i thought that he was such a douchbag, then as a nice guy with a rough exterios and finally, as LaFelur, i thought of him as a great person capable of loving and maturing... but never, ever thought of him as sexy. He's a handsome guy and all, don't get me wrong... but i guess that's just me, like one in a million, right??? I feel kinda stupid right now...
