He tends to play odd and/or curmudgeonly roles, and by all objective measures he never was leading-man handsome. But there's something very charismatic about him, I think. Can't wait to see him in the upcoming Dante's Inferno. Something about the way he carries himself, I think . . . . L.A. Confidential, Babe, The Queen, Six Feet Under very different roles, and yet I couldnt' take my eyes off him! Yikes!

I had the biggest crush on him in
Babe
when I was a little girl/
So wrong
I still do find him oddly attractive though.

James Cromwell is proof positive that looks have nothing to do with talent.
This man can act circles around the Clooneys, Gibsons and Beattys of the world.

Or charisma. I'm not a girlie but i do like him somehow. There's something about him.

Wow, that's weird.

I'm not exactly attracted to him, but he's one of my favourite actors.

I agree! I'm on a James Cromwell kick right now, after I saw him as Captain Dudley Smith in LA Confidential in film class.I just finished watching Star Trek: First Contact and Babe. He's such an amazing actor and I can't get enough of his voice. There is auch a caring, almost paternal quality to it. Not only is he a terrific actor, but also a vegetarian and an animal rights activist. What a sweet guy!

He's attractive in the same way Rene Auberjonois is - You have no idea why, they just are.

Amen to this. Those two are crazy sexy, and I couldn't tell you why.

I think the fact that he has a pleasant face and is like a billion feet tall is helpful.

I have followed his career ever since I saw him on the hit tv show "All in the Family". He played one of Archie's "dock buddies", "Stretch Cunningham", if I recall correctly. He has been one of my favorite character actors for over 30 years (he and Todd Sussman/Susman).

I saw him only in LA Confidential, I can't believe but he caught my eye. He is not beautiful, but he was charismatic in that film, and had a very good voice. Strangely attractive.

He is attractive to me because he chose to live his life with compassion. That's a big contributor to his appeal, imo.

I'm watching him in an episode of Little House on the Prairie from 1980 and there is just something about him!

Lolchecked this board specifically to see if I was the only one! Crazy but kinda caught a crush seeing him in AHS
Not Tb68OO surprising that I'd dig him, though. Daddy issues aplenty here lol.
