Man Crush: David Tennant

Ahh.... David Tennant. This guy knows how to take a role, make it his own and then proceed to play every line as a pure gem of comedic genius. I'm currently watching him as he was first introduced to me (before I realized he played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) in the new revival of BBC's Doctor Who series.

My friend Sacha Dzuba gave me an extremely hard sell into the Doctor Who world when he found out that I was a sci fi lover but that I wasn't into the new Doctor. He pressed two large stacks of DVD's on me and I watched them... liked them... almost let myself get distracted by them, until series 2 when David arrived on the scene.

If you want to see one of my favorite David Tennant/Doctor Who moments just watch the Series 2 episode titled The Christmas Invasion (here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Christmas_Invasion) and listen for "This New Hand? It's a Fightin Hand!!!"

So why is David a man crush? Well first, in case you don't know what a man crush is... UrbanDictionary.com defines it as "When a straight man has a "crush" on another man, not sexual but kind of idolizing him."

David gets my first Man Crush entry because he can play Geeky, Romantic, Enraged, Playful, Aggressive, Intelligent and egotistical all in the same 3 minutes of screen time. He can make more more out of a line of dialogue than most other actors and he can make more out of silence and a glance than most people.

I would love to be David for the shooting of just one Doctor Who episode... What a guy... What a... Man Crush.
