haldoorOkay, here's me trying to climb out of my depressed pit. Seriously, I've been meaning to share these guys with you for ages. So, finally, here we go:
Teaser:
Counting down from the 'shorter' of the tallboys (ha, they can be furniture at my house any day!), and taking youngest first where they're the same height:
10. Cute boy from Glee, Cory Monteith; 6'3" (1.91m):
And emphasising his height here with Lea Michele:
09. Ever-favourite Aussie, Eric Bana; 6'3" (1.91m):
Here he is with his shorter Troy co-stars:
08. One of the beautiful people, Billy Campbell; 6'3 & 1/2" (1.92m):
Here he is making some 4400 actors look tiny:
07. He made me swoon as Bo Duke, even if he is playing people's parents now! John Schneider; 6'3 & 1/2" (1.92m):
Valerie Bertinelli sure looks up to him:
06. He's the tallest vampire in Bon Temps, Alexander Skarsgård; 6'4" (1.93m):
(yes, he does rather deserve two viewings of this shot, doesn't he?)
He easily towers over Stephen Moyer, who's average height:
05. Hot, gay and tall too! Rupert Everett; 6'4" (1.93m):
And he's head and shoulders above Madonna, right?
04. He was Super in all ways, back in the day, Christopher Reeve; 6'4" (1.93m):
Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) wouldn't have been able to kiss him without tip-toeing:
03. Magnum PI was the first of my Hawaiian obsessions, Tom Selleck; 6'4" (1.93m):
And Higgins (John Hillerman) was like the Danny to Magnum's Steve in a fun-size kind of way!
02. True Blood has some tall werewolves too, Joe Manganiello; 6'5" (1.96m):
Sookie (Anna Paquin) looks teeny next to Alcide, doesn't she?
01. And last, but no means least, one of my favourite men of all, the yummy John Corbett, who I adored In Northern Exposure and now love so much in The United States of Tara; 6'5" (1.96m):
Showing us how tall guys dance with their lovely shorter co-stars (the wonderful Toni Collette):
Know any other guys over 6'3" who you think I should know about? Feel free to provide photographic evidence!
Ah, I feel better already. And it's raining again *sigh*. All the same, this is definitely helping. Hope you enjoy too! Next time: Love for Lefties!

Date: 2012-03-07 10:54 am (UTC)I will have a rummage in my already saved stash to see what I can find for you...
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:28 am (UTC)Oooh, look forward to seeing who you've got hidden away (now I have this vision of you having a cupboard at home that you open the door to occasionally and one gorgeous man stumbles out each time you do!)
PS: got your lovely card today! Thank you SO much, it's perfect! *hugs*
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 03:31 pm (UTC)*Goes to look again*.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:29 am (UTC)Look all you want!
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 03:33 pm (UTC)My immediate thought is always Liam Neeson! 6'4"
As long as you have John Schneider in there, you might as well have his TV son--Tom Welling is 6'3". And the other CW fandom-favorite giant is Jared Padalecki, 6'4".
Idris Elba's "only" 6'2 3/4" but I have to mention him anyway!
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:32 am (UTC)I haven't watched GK either but I may have to add it to the list!
Yes, I nearly put Liam on, but there are so many! I don't watch SPN or I probably would have thought of Jared, and yes, should really have been a Smallville watcher for those two reasons! Must add to the list...
Yes! Idris is gorgeous too, and it's a pity to exclude him simply because he's under 6'3" isn't it? I officially give him honorary status! ;-)
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 04:09 pm (UTC)My favorite tall guys of the moments are Chris Hemsworth-Aussie actor,he is Thor in 'Thor' and 'Avengers' and he is 6'3 and Tom Hiddelston,who plays Thor's brother Loki in same movies and he is 6'2.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:34 am (UTC)Yes, a lot of people are into Chris - I've not seen Thor yet to appreciate him and Tom, but the movie is on my list! ;-)
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 05:41 pm (UTC)Minor note: that's not really a picture of him. It's some fan made photoshop inspired by some True Blood plot from the books we never saw on the show. I'd show you that he photographs better, but my extra userpics are gone, so you'll have to wait until I'm on my computer and can picspam this post properly.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:37 am (UTC)OH! I didn't know that was photoshopped! It's rather a good manip. Anyway, he is utterly gorgeous, so I look forward to your picspam showing him in all his real glory in due course! (not that he would be any less pretty than the manip anyway!)
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 04:20 pm (UTC)Having said that, no one in the Generation Kill fandom knows quite where this pic is from or where to find a bigger version, but we're very fond of it, anyway.
He's a lot more shirtless (and naked) on True Blood, but I like him here better:
I love his arms. They're strong and muscular without being too bulky.
But I'm also very fond of his face.
Yes, I am.
And his profile.
And when he's all tall and strong and vaguely intimidating.
And when he's tall and strong and very intimidating (in character).
I just think he's a gorgeous, deliciously tall, very, very talented man. He should be in more things, and in my life.
Hope this wasn't too much.

Date: 2012-03-08 05:53 pm (UTC)I can't believe I actually know this and I'm mentioning it, but he's 1.94, not 1.93. Sometimes things get lost on the metric to whatever feet and inches is conversion.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 05:58 pm (UTC)And you know, I used the heights offered in IMDb and I did wonder when 6'5" comes up as 1.96, so I'll happily accept your 1.94 there. Thank you! Will amend later, have to rush off to work now!
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 05:53 pm (UTC)As for other tall guys, of course there's Jared Padalecki from SPN who is 6'3", I think, and Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor, also 6'3"
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:39 am (UTC)Yes, those two do seem to be popular! I don't watch SPN, of course, or I'd probably have thought of him, and not seen Thor yet either (but it's on the list!). However, there are just SO many great tall guys, it's hard to narrow it down to ten! ;-)
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 05:55 pm (UTC)I knew Skarsgard was tall...but didn't realize how tall Joe M. is...wow!
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:40 am (UTC)I know! I actually didn't realise he was taller than Skarsgard until I did this, but mmmhmm, glad I figured it out! ;-)
no subject
Date: 2012-03-07 06:05 pm (UTC)How happy have you just made me? About 7' happy, that's how!! :DDD
ALL
pervingmale appreciation should be ordered this way, always.I read your other post, and you can certainly have a HUG for that, but for this, a GOLD STAR.
*happypleasedhappy*
Also. JOHN CORBETT.
p.s. Icon chosen for my favourite 6'7"er ;)
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:42 am (UTC)How happy you made me by reacting so!
Thanks for the hugs, but even more for my gold star! *pins it on and polishes it*
ALSO? JOHN CORBETT. Absolute fave.
Yay for your icon! And I realise I have no one taller than 6'2 in my icons (oh, I lie, there's Eric!)

Date: 2012-03-07 07:27 pm (UTC)GO WATCH THOR!

Date: 2012-03-08 01:49 am (UTC)Mmm, True Blood has some hot men on it. It's completely ruined me for every other HBO show because all the rest of them just have female nudity and what fun is that?
And aww, Christopher Reeve. *sniff*
Speaking of John Schneider, do you get Celebrity Ghost Stories in your area? I think he's been on twice. Here's a clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZofJfULEE3E). And a full segment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf0FPQLDYzg&feature=related) of the other appearance. He still looks damn good! In fact, I think he looks better now then when he was younger.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-08 08:48 am (UTC)I KNOW! Seriously gorgeous men coming out our ears there! I honestly never know who makes what, tbh, because we get shows from all different networks on all different channels here, so my only knowledge of things that are from pay channels there are the ones that show the nudity! ;-)
Yes, Chris Reeve was so wonderful. *sniffs too*
Oooh, no, we don't get the Celeb's Ghosts here. *goes to check the links out* Thank you so much for linking! I agree, he's looking pretty good as he gets older. I first saw him in 'adult form' as it were, on Nip/Tuck, and I almost didn't recognise him! ;-)

Date: 2012-03-18 06:00 pm (UTC)Yes, you really should watch TB just for Joe, but there are so many hot guys there it's hard to choose. S3 is the best if you like your vampires with slash. Never mind slash; it's just gay as hell! ;-)
Thank you - always good to have educated someone! And if you are interested, perhaps we should become friends? ;-)
