Man Love - Tim Roth

I don’t say this often about a fella but Tim Roth gets me moist.

He has done since I saw him play Mr Orange in Reservoir Dogs, a movie I only ever saw in bits and pieces but never from end to end for about seven years. Don’t ask me why, that’s just how it panned out. As if Reservoir Dogs wasn’t confusing enough try watching it in hour long chunks only.

These days he plays walking lie detector Dr Cal Lightman on the TV show Lie to Me and he’s excellent. He’s like Hugh Laurie was when House started out; tre cool. Hugh is still cool but several seasons on and I can’t help but think ‘just how many hard to diagnose mystery illnesses are there?’ when watching House.

Doesn’t anyone just get Herpes anymore?

Anyway, Roth has another distinction that even he isn’t aware of – he’s second in line to play me in a movie of my life should Christian Bale turn down the role. And why would he, it’s the role of a lifetime.

One of these guys is the real me, the other two are thespians.
