[The Phoenix II]

Ioan was adorable on Today this morning.

 

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Indeed.

And I should think Matt Lauer was rather relieved that none of the people he was interviewing this morning was Tom Cruise.

[Ioan Fan]

THUD!!!! Thanks Conchi!!!!

 

[Ioan Fan]

Thought I'd just show the first "TV Guide" cover that Ioan appeared on for "Horatio Hornblower" in 2001.

 

[RodeoHK]

Wow Ioan_Fan: would you recommend Horatio Hornblower as a good TV show? *proceeds to drool over pic*

 

[entwife]

Wow, Ioan Fan, would you recommend Horatio Hornblower as a good TV show? *proceeds to drool over pic*

I'm not Ioan-Fan, but I have to jump in here. The Horatio Hornblower series is fantastic! They've done three series total, from 1999 to 2003, for a combined eight 2-hour movies. Though made for TV, they're better than the vast majority of feature films out there. Watch one and you'll be hooked, both on the series and on Ioan. But they're hard to find at the local video store. I found them at local libraries and through Netflix, then loved them so much that I bought all the DVDs.

Get them now to while away the week before F4!

Wow, thanks! I haven't seen much of Ioan's stuff before, just King Arthur... I can't get enough of Ioan at the moment!!!

Once hooked on Ioan, you can never get enough of him....he's very addictive!! And yes, you'll love Horatio if you can find him anywhere!! He was my very first sample of Ioan and has a very special place in my heart! Highly recommended!!!

 

[JulianM.Fan]

Ahh i'm just very i don't know. So i had two dreams about Ioan this week. One was that we were at a hotel with my school or whatnot and we were all just hanging around doing some mischeif and Ioan was my boyfriend

And then last night we were swimming at a pool...i think J.Alba was there,lol but other people were there too. Hehe i think Ioan's becoming my no.2 man right behind Julian.

 

[Mrs. Fantastic]

I would like to add my voice to the chorus of approval for Hornblower. If you haven't seen it, by all means DO! They are wonderfully done -- exciting, fun, and extremely well acted. Ioan is splendid in them.

[Iron Maiden]

Hehe i think Ioan's becoming my no.2 man right behind Julian.

Which is as it should be..

I have to repeat the one-liner I saw at the IMDB about Julian (concealed for the more sensitive)

Spoiler

" he could get laid at a lesbian wedding

 

[JulianM.Fan]

Lol Iron Maiden i love that. I bet it's true Yes i think i may get myself more into Ioan's work and i finally know how to pronounce his name. But he's not single and Julian is so...

 

[Ioan Fan]

Here's all of the projects he's been in (list courtesy of ioaonline filmography page).

Some are not accessible to get a hold of due to the fact that they are either UK or Welsh TV productions (all of us true Ioanites have every one anyway.....we have our means ).

They are only available on VCD (region free) or in different DVD regions or PAL VHS formats. This means they are viewable only if you have a region free DVD player or PAL VHS player.

There are a good amount, though, that you can rent or buy on VHS or DVD. Amazon.com and Ebay have listings for sale/bid.

But he's not single

He sure is.

[Ioan Fan]

But he's not single

He sure is.

Mrs. F.

Let me rephrase that.....he's taken....four years and still going strong (damn).

 

[Ioangirl]

Technically yes he has a girlfriend, but he's not married to her. If they break up there would be no divorce case to mess with. They can pretty much leave each other when its over. So in my book he is single.

 

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Let me rephrase that.....he's taken....four years and still going strong (damn).

Not so strong that he's actually bothered to marry The Girlfriend after 4 years. This = single! Go for it JulianM.Fan! Wait, what am I saying? Out of my way, JulianM.Fan!

Mrs. F.

 

[Ioangirl]

I totally agree with you Mrs. F. After four years, what is he waiting for? Ioan said time and again he wants a wife and lots of children. What does he want? Tom Cruise's salary? It would take years for him to get that far and Alice is not getting any younger while I can wait for ten years since I happen to be nine years younger than her.
