Strangely attractive

He tends to play odd and/or curmudgeonly roles, and by all objective measures he never was leading-man handsome. But there's something very charismatic about him, I think. Can't wait to see him in the upcoming Dante's Inferno. Something about the way he carries himself, I think . . . . L.A. Confidential, Babe, The Queen, Six Feet Under -- very different roles, and yet I couldnt' take my eyes off him! Yikes!

I had the biggest crush on him in Babe when I was a little girl/ So wrong... I still do find him oddly attractive though.

James Cromwell is proof positive that looks have nothing to do with talent.
This man can act circles around the Clooneys, Gibsons and Beattys of the world.

I'm not exactly attracted to him, but he's one of my favourite actors.

I agree! I'm on a James Cromwell kick right now, after I saw him as Captain Dudley Smith in LA Confidential in film class.I just finished watching Star Trek: First Contact and Babe. He's such an amazing actor and I can't get enough of his voice. There is auch a caring, almost paternal quality to it. Not only is he a terrific actor, but also a vegetarian and an animal rights activist. What a sweet guy!

He's attractive in the same way Rene Auberjonois is - You have no idea why, they just are. =)

Amen to this. Those two are crazy sexy, and I couldn't tell you why.
