I like the Up series so much!! I just finished 21 Up, and Nick (aka Nicholas Hitchon, look him up) has completely surprised me by becoming a crush alert. He's by far the most down-to-earth, attractive--think Andy Samberg but less apey, more thoughtful--member of the group* and then I just read he's a professor at Wisconsin-Madison, which was my #3 choice for grad school--I could have been so close to maybe running into him one day!
PS: wtf is up with John in 21 Up?? He's acting high and it looks like he tweezed his unibrow halfway through. Plus he's always been shady and self-conscious, like he knows he's an a-hole but he thinks it's your problem
*FYI, the Up series are films about a group of British kids at ages 7, 14, 21, 28 --> 49 (most recently) and, I hope, for the rest of their lives. The focus is on class differences and belief systems, but the real fun is just watching them grow and change. Also some of the upper-crust kids are hilariously out of touch with the world. These are awesome documentaries and completely riveting.

You forgot to mention the most important role of his career- Q, on Star Trek TNG.

Crush Alert Request: Brent Spiner aka Data from TNG!
I felt the same way about Nick in 21 up - he was such a shy kid and awkward teen, and then WOOOO! His voice is the dreamiest.
I was actually getting ready to write an entry about the exact same crush and was googling around for pictures; that's how I found this.
Nick is the cutest!
