Gisborne Revisited (Richard Armitage) and Hobbit Interview Plea

Ran again into this Richard Armitage interview at the start of filming Series 3 of Robin Hood and he also talks about Spooks. The interview was posted by RAFrenzy.

It is one of my favorite Armitage interviews and has everything I love about this man. Everything. (Even a tiny bit of Armitage Humor.) Makes me so look forward to the start of Hobbit interviews in the next few weeks and months. I hope they ask him interesting questions.

Hear me Charlie Rose, James Lipton, and all talk show hosts in North America, this is the man to interview about being Thorin in The Hobbit

A Bit of Armitage Humor

Comedy is a very personal and often cultural thing.  I may find something hilarious that even my friends and family don't, and the opposite is also true.  One thing for sure, I love a man with a sense of humor, especially about himself and the world around him.


One man that I find has a great sense of humor and often makes me laugh when I least expect to is Richard Armitage.  A man who is  very serious and hardworking, yet you often find a twinkle in his eye and that slight and sometimes naughty smile when he's being interviewed. He has his own brand of RA wit and whimsy.

We have seldom seen this side of him in the roles he's played, though we did see some witty repartee between Lucas North (Richard Armitage) and Ros Myers  (Hermione Norris) in Spooks Seasons 7 and 8, and also enjoyed his comedy timing in the Vicar of Dibley with Dawn French.  Who didn't fall in love with RA as Harry Kennedy!  I hope producers out there cast him in more comedy roles!
