I first saw Jason O' Mara in Berkeley Square (BBC drama). I had no idea who he was, but I was like, "Damn, this guy's hot." I don't really find the BBC men "hot". Attractive, maybe. But not hot. And Jason O' Mara was HOT. But I was only thirteen years old then, so the slight crush fizzled out eventually...until I saw him in Life on Mars, aged very well. I was twenty-four then, and when his face flashed on the screen, I still found myself thinking, "Damn, this guy's hot."
Sadly, both shows - Berkeley Square and Life on Mars - were cancelled. Berkeley Square really should have come back for a second series, but you can't blame the network execs, I guess. If a show didn't catch on, it didn't catch on, and they have to make money somehow. Almost makes me wish there were a million bajillion people on the planet like me who tuned into the show.
I also saw him in Monarch of the Glen (which I caught on Netflix), but he was only there for a few episodes. :( :(
I'm glad he's still being cast in other roles. Really looking forward to seeing him play George B. McClellan in To Appomattox (2013), even if he doesn't have the lead role.
