Liam Cunningham - Alice's A Roomful of Liam's

Liam's fan, Alice, has made her study of the characters Liam has played that she's been able to see or hear (as of November 2000) and given us her rundown on whether she'd like to spend time with them for a drink and a chat . . . this came from the previous Message Board and it is JUST TOO GOOD not to preserve here. I am pea-green with envy that I didn't think this one up!!! So without further ado, here it is - Alice's assessment of a Room Full of Liams . . .

MOSSIE SHEEHAN--arguably the most romantic of the lot, but too reserved and moody for me. Eight years of unrequited love can drag the down spirit of even the most gregarious soul; hopefully Elizabeth lightens him up.	Falling for a Dancer
PHILLOTSON--I hate to say this, but he probably is a little dull. I like somebody who will make me laugh.	Jude
SEAN CLONEY--nice family man who had to learn his lesson the hard way about making decisions without considering his wife’s opinions and feelings. I don’t know a thing about farming, but we could talk about the pros and cons of raising boys vs. girls, I suppose.	A Love Divided
STUART GRADY--a whole generation of women screaming (and screaming and screaming) “What a waste!”	Cracker - Best Boys
BILLY O’CONNELL--too much emotional baggage, although he’s got that “needy” thing going for him which many women, including this one, finds very attractive. (Come on now, ‘fess up--who wants to be the one who opens the door when Billy O’Connell comes acourtin’...)	Police 2020
BILL ARMSTRONG--hovers underneath a cloud of a anger and disillusionment; don’t think I could stand his brooding about “the one that got away” for very long. Needed some closure big time.	A Likeness In Stone
CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON--way out of my league socially and financially.	Shooting the Past
GREG LAUGHTON--the light is on but nobody’s home even BEFORE the meltdown (cute guy, though).	Undercurrent
KILLER-DRILLER CHRIS--big personality, big ego, the sexiest of the lot IMO--way too intimidating for this shy gal.	Roughnecks
MANNIX BONE--uh...I don’t THINK so (Maybe he and that coat should crawl back into whatever slimy bog hole they came out of...)	Sweety Barrett
JOHN COSGRAVE--No thanks...I don’t play golf.	When the Sky Falls
GREGG TOLAND--I’d be inclined to stay away from those Hollywood types. And Mr. Toland needs to lose the mustache -- not a good look for him.	RKO 281
AGRAVAINE--married to his job but looks great in a uniform!	First Knight
DANGER DOYLE--a bit of a lad; can’t get away from that dodgy past.	Poor Beast in the Rain
STAPLER--nothing in common with this guy but he can be an understanding. friend to those in trouble. That’s a plus. (I just don’t “get” boxing. Will someone please tell me what’s so appealing about watching 2 men pummel each other’s faces to mincemeat?)	A Handful of Stars
PADRAIG--very nice, decent family man but after his experience at Finbar’s, I doubt he’d want to talk to any women other that his wife for a long time.	Ladies' Night at Finbar's Hotel
ItW POLICEMAN--I’d love to hear that laugh again!	Into the West
CAPTAIN CREWE--a close second, but a little too formal and proper for me. This lovely man deserves somebody in his life besides his beloved daughter. Any matchmakers out there?	A Little Princess
Which leaves us with the Man With No Name: THE MASTER in War of the Buttons. He’d be the character that I’d like to have a drink and a chat with. (First question: What the heck is your name?, because I’m not calling anybody “Master”) I admire his dedication to his teaching vocation, and his kindness and understanding of his students. He is firm but compassionate and well respected and liked by the children--a very fine line to walk. Above all, I love his sarcastic sense of humor. Wouldn’t it be great if we all had a history teacher like The Master? I could listen to him talk about the O’Driscols and Bunduff Castle all day. Then again, maybe it’s just those grandad sweaters that do it for me....	War of the Buttons
