It’s the end of the work week so it must be Foolish Friday again. Time for more Richard Armitage studies. We’ve already studied his callipygia, eyes and shoulders. Let’s take a look at a less frequently discussed asset: his profile.
Here is a screen cap of John Thornton in North & South. Notice the patrician profile, slightly aquiline but not quite Romanesque.

Here is another more dramatic shot of the profile. Notice how the high collar, cravat and backlighting accentuate the angles of the face.

Here is a rarely seen clip from Cleopatra. That’s RA as a guard on the far right.
But back to a more close-up study. Here is Lucas showing us how impressive is done.
This shot is almost turns into three-fourths instead of profile but I love the expression on his face.

Of course I can’t leave this study with out beholding Mr. Patrician himself, Sir Guy of Gisborne. With the hair, guyliner and stubble, what more could a profile need?
This is not a great shot of the profile, but you have to admit it’s a great pose.

This shot has nothing to do with profiles but c’mon, Glamour Guy’s on a horse.
Class is dismissed. Have a good weekend.
Another really beautifully put together set of screencaps. ♥ RA’s profile is extraordinary.
Glad you enjoyed it. There will be a quizz. 😀
I read the title of the post and thought “Oh, Judi’s going to take on the police psychologists and their practice of profiling criminals!”
Gotta admit, this version is more pleasing to the eyes. 🙂
LOL! The same thing occurred to me when I chose the title. Surprise! 😉
Hi Judi!
I love Richard Armitage’s profile! I go weak in the knees whenever I see it. He and it are classic.
Oh, that nose! Whenever, I see it, I think of his face turned and his nose rubbing up against my cheek were he to kiss me:

Okay now. I’ve had my fantasy for the day. Ha!
Cheers! Grati ;->
Mmm, nice fantasy! That should keep you going the rest of the day. 😉
Hi Judi,
Yes! Sighhhh! But, of course, I’m very happily married. So my silly fantasy is just that. Because I would never let anyone kiss me who wasn’t my hubby–not even RA. I’m a faithful lady. Darn it! Ha!
Cheers! Grati ;->
Yeah for fidelity. You two are so lucky.
I love those profiles and Guy on horse of course and your added wickedly crafty subtitles. LOL. There is plenty of food for fantasies and a Foolish Friday sensual enjoyment 🙂 It´s definitely pleasing to the eyes.
Glad you enjoyed it. I’m having with this. 🙂
hmmm, I see we got a little off topic here 🙂
Er…erm…. don’t know what you mean. 😉
The profile stands alone in the history of profiles – shoulders above all other profiles!
(Putting this post on my hard drive)
Not that we are biased or anything. 😉 Glad you enjoyed the post.
