actors are paid to talk pretty, too

*grumble grumble NaNo grumble* Cannot write when thudding through my brain is "I am not Kirk, Spock, Luke, Buck... I am not Kirk, Spock, Luke, Buck..." etc. until my brain explodes.

So I borrowed a meme from zinelady

Name 10 celebrities that you would happily listen to for hours as they read the phonebook.


1. Anthony Stewart Head (this kind of goes without saying, especially on my flist.)
2. Claudia Black
3. Judi Dench
4. Geoffrey Palmer
5. Patrick Stewart
6. Wayne Pygram (okay, WHY did no one tell me he was in Ep III? WHY, people, why?)
7. David Nykl (*averts eyes from possible casting spoilers on IMDb*)
8. Juliet Landau but only with the fake accent on
9. Hugh Laurie?
10. Jesse Spencer

ETA: Because I am stupid, I totally didn't mention Alan Rickman until I was tracking the meme backwards to see who showed up most often. (Patrick Stewart, definitely a favorite. ASH as well, at least in the area of cyberspace closest to my flist. I wonder why? James Earl Jones, also pretty popular, though in my mind he is forever the Unas from "Thor's Hammer," which I don't, actually, associate with sex.)

ETA REDUX: Again instead of NaNoing, I took this meme as far back as I could take it, added in the results from the people who just recently nabbed it from me, and give you LiveJournal's official list of the sexiest voices ever liek whoa.

Anthony Stewart Head (5)
James Earl Jones (5)
Patrick Stewart (4)
Peter Wingfield (4)
Sean Connery (4)

I like it. We have James Bond, Methos, Picard, Darth Vader, and... Giles. Is no one else amused? No one?

This is a great meme. I am all about the voices!

And David Nykl and Claudia Black almost made my list, too. Yum. :-)

Indeed. I've gone to my happy place.
