It is wrong .. I know .. but I really loved him as "Lenny" in "Strange Days." I just wanted to give him a bath then do wicked, wicked things to his body! : D - LOL!!
Harriet: It's a dialect thing. I think he's been a bit more successful in getting people to say "Rafe" than Gerry Butler has been in trying to get the real pronunciation of his name (more like Jared than Ge-RARD)
Ah, darling Rafe! I saw him on stage in London a few years before his big break in Schindler - gorgeous.
Then just before Schindler hit, I saw him again in Stratford-on-Avon in the Body Shop and was going gaga. My friend didn't understand what my problem was.
Then Schindler opened.
She was gutted she didn't speak to him then! Hehehehehe
Have a great day darling!
Harriet, the pronounciation of his name accords with loads others that don't match how they are written.
Generally (but not hard and fast)
The surname Featherstonehaugh is usually pronounced Fanshawe.
Cholmondeley becomes Chumley
St.John is Saint John except when as either a first name or surname and is pronounced Sinjon.
Knollys is Knowles
Worcester is Wooster Hence Worcestershire is Woostershire
Blame all those different languages that have been incorporated and expanded on in the British Isles over the ages!
Someone once told me that their family is believed to be descendants of the Royal Family but not in line to the throne because it was a mistress (or housekeeper) that got pregnant by someone royal. Whatever. I still most definitely would (and that goes for his skinny, effeminate brother too).
Yummmmy!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's got it going ;)
Hate to say this, but my gaydar is totally going off - especially given that last photo.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm! Happy birthday, Ralph! Always loved his gorgeous bedroom eyes! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Enty!
Can Santa put him in my stocking? I have been very very good.
ReplyDeleteIt is wrong .. I know .. but I really loved him as "Lenny" in "Strange Days." I just wanted to give him a bath then do wicked, wicked things to his body! : D - LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ralph .. Many Many More!
I keep wondering why his name is pronounced "Rafe". Was that his parents choice? Or his? Is it a dialect thing? HELP ME.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think he's hot as hell and other times he's too thin (I like my fellas a little chunky like our Enty).
ReplyDeleteThe next to the last picture looks like it's from Maid in Manhattan and forgive me, but I own the DVD.
There's an aloof hotness about him.
ReplyDeleteHis eyes...ohhh!! I could just melt. Sexy man!
ReplyDeleteThere are outrageous stories about his "needs" and they all involve females. Apparently his "needs" have to be met several times daily.

ReplyDeleteIsn't he the guy who boinks flight attendants in the lavatory?
ReplyDeleteHarriet, I think "Rafe" is the Welsh pronunciation.
His brother looks overly pretty to me. I thought Joseph was gay in Shakespeare in Love, but maybe Gwyneth just made him look that way.
i don't find one thing about him attractive but he's a hell of a good actor.
ReplyDeleteA Quantas flight attendant claims she did him in the loo.
ReplyDeleteThe pronunciation of his first name is based on an old English pronunciation of Ralph.
Ah, darling Rafe! I saw him on stage in London a few years before his big break in Schindler - gorgeous.

Digging pic #2.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Happy Birthday Ralph.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you K for the pronunciation guide. :-)
He's a'ight, but I much prefer his brother Joseph in Flash Forward.
ReplyDeleteRalph has always fit into category #1 for me - men I think are hawt with clothes on but wouldn't look good naked. He has a beautiful face, though!
ReplyDeleteyum...oh and happy bday ralph :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you, you beautiful man. Thanks, Enty!!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, boo!
I'd happily join the mile-high club with him!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I loved his character Harry in 'In Bruges'. He was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteoh enty, you love us, you really love us!
ReplyDelete*swoon*
LOVE me some RF. if he's done w/ his mommy complex, and done with ho-ing the friendly skies, please give him my #.
Yummo. Merry Christmas to me! ;)
ReplyDeleteYep. He's hawt.
ReplyDeleteI never thought much of him until I saw "The English Patient". Then I had a proper swoon.
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day, R!
So hot. Isn't he a horn dog? not that there is anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that :) Happy dreams...
ReplyDeleteEnty, you just made me have a truly happy birthday. I'm going to find out what flight he's on because I'm all about the friendly skies!
ReplyDeleteSexy man, just like his brother Joseph.

hey--I also turned 47 yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI've always claimed that Ralph and I are soulmates, being born on the same day and all. ;-P
I even thought he was dead sexy while playing a fat Nazi. Oh, the shame...
