Stunningly gorgeous, yes but more than that...
...immensely watchable. The film business is swimming with gorgeous men but James Norton has this watch-ability that's hard to describe. He has a subtle, nurturing charisma that sneaks-up on the viewer. He draws you in and you just want to watch him.
I've found myself routinely tuning in to repeats of "Grantchester" and even though I know exactly what happens in each episode, I just want to watch him go through the motions. I've sometimes fallen asleep to it. His face is hypnotic and unique. I love his tousled, red hair. He's beautiful but not typical, compared to the male leads we've been exposed to over the past decade. He's like a male Julie Christie, a solid stand-alone star, like a Robert Redford. My goodness, I hope we all see a lot more of him. I'll be looking for it...
