So we have a new house eyeing up the role of most appearances in a BL and gaining momentum towards it.
This one:
Pictured today on twitter as Win's family home in Between Us. It's been in three other shows this year, namely:
> Love In The Air
> The Tuxedo
> Big Dragon
But the real kicker is that it's also got a death trap staircase with no handrail. Where do they keep finding them?

Since you've read some of my attempts to grapple with Jason Isaacs playing characters who aren't Tavington, I wanted to ask, what is your favorite role of his (excluding the evil redcoat option)?
Currently, my fave is probably still Jackson Brodie from Case Histories. D.J. from Event Horizon is adorable, but there really isn't enough of him. But, I feel like it should be Hook, and perhaps by the end of today, he will be!
Tonight I’ve been enjoying this fun and lively Ask from @lyledebeast about Jason Isaacs in the big wide world outside the Evil Redcoat Pipeline! Many thoughts…
I do indeed love Isaacs’s take on Captain Hook in the 2003 Peter Pan adaptation—no notes there whatsoever. And I never can seem to resist a good procedural, so Case Histories is up there as well with high marks for Isaacs’s portrayal of Jackson Brodie—another great adaptation from the source material. But those are scarcely the sole pinnacles of non-ERP Isaacs for me. Here I want to dive into more obscure Isaacs roles that have captured my heart.
My favorite Jason Isaacs character who isn’t Will Tavington depends on whether we’re talking comedic roles or dramatic ones. How tremendously bisexual of me to diversify my preferences thusly, I suppose! It’s how we roll here in the Republic of Randall, after all. Let’s get right into this delightful juxtaposition of the silly and the serious.
For the former, I’m unambiguously and gleefully fond of Clark Devlin from the wonderfully hammy 2002 The Tuxedo action comedy. There are several reasons for this, naturally. Jackie Chan is perfect and has never done a thing wrong in his life. And I love the genuine and heartwarming support shown by Devlin towards protagonist Jimmy Tong. Devlin being a clear James Bond expy also evokes my own sexual awakening and early fandom forays, and the kinds of characters who generally pique my interest. No surprise then that a cluster of my present work exploring the twisted and tortured mind of Black Jack Randall from the Outlander TV adaptation and source novels delves into parallels between Black Jack, his descendant Frank who is an actual master spy, and Ian Fleming’s original characterization of Bond.
For the latter, I’ve always been quietly impressed with Isaacs’s performance as David in the incisively apt 2006 Friends with Money satirical drama. Not one of his higher-profile roles to be sure, but a stunningly effective condemnation of the bitter and petty tendencies that so often consume the sorts of idle rich people depicted in the film. I’ve always loved Nicole Holofcener’s work—and Catherine Keener ranks among my all-time favorite actors handily—so I was certainly well poised to appreciate this lesser-known performance from Isaacs even before I delved into the wonderful world of Tavington fandom. Entirely apropos of this, David clearly presents a contemporary spin on Tavy’s perennial penchant for being toxic in his expensive little outfits!
These choices come with the caveat that I have yet to see all of Jason Isaacs’s performances in recorded media. And I’ll forever be lamenting that I haven’t gotten the chance to see him act in stage roles, especially his early 90s work on Angels in America as Louis Ironson. But of the ones I have seen, these two hold special places in my heart.

4, 13, 17
please and thank you
4. most ridiculous plot
The Tuxedo
Just, what were you doing and how dare you squander that level of talent?
To be fair I say this about the Thai pulps A LOT.
13. a famous actor who’d never do BL but I’d die if they did
Jung Hae In
He’s a Kdrama male lead which means he has to have great chemistry with women which, in Korean society, is not easy. And he’s worked with some noted challenging actresses. Yet he ALWAYS gives great chemistry. I’ve never seen him misstep as a support player. I’d love to see if that talent translates to dudes.
17. casting I wish never happened
I already answered this one for Korea, so here is my second pick for Thailand!
Yoon in Unforgotten Night.
Don’t get me wrong, this show was NOT GOOD and the script (would we call it a script) even a recast can’t improve, but it was a fun trash watch. It would have been a lot better and more fun if the lead had been, ya know, a mafia type dude. Yoon is fine with other pairings, but he couldn’t hack this role. This lead need dominance and edge, he has neither.
The BL Drama Ask game is here, but I'm shut to to anonymous asks once more, until I feel brave again.
