1. I've been following the career of Kevin McKidd ever since he appeared as the tragic Tommy in Trainspotting oh so many years ago. He's a wonderful and completely underappreciated actor with a surprising amount of range! If you've never heard of it before, I'd recommend the 1998 film Bedrooms and Hallways where he plays a shy gay man who finds love with James Purefoy. The early years of Vorenus and Mark Antony, eh??

I'll take Kevin McKidd over Gerard Butler any day.

2. I became a Kevin McKidd fan the first time I saw Dog Soldiers and have followed his career ever since.

I'm not a gamer but if he's playing a character called "Soap" McTavish, I imagine it'll be good. lol. And I've been waiting for news of the Rome feature so this is terrific to hear.

I'm a Gerard Butler fan so I'd be hard pressed to have to choose. Any situation where I would have to could only be described as a win-win.

3. Really enjoy Kidd - especially since Dog Soldiers. The big thing about him that I think is awesome:

He uses the HELL out of that accent. It's so cool. I hate seeing Gerard try to speak like an American. His natural accent is so much cooler/scarier/badassier/machoeir/sexier. Yes, sexier. I said it only because I think he tries to hard in The Ugly Truth to be American and it would have worked so much better if he stayed natural.

5. I have been a fan of both Kevin and Gerry for years! I am a huge Rome series fan and Kevin is great as Lucius Vorenus!
As far as the Rome movie, I can't wait! It will be awesome!! James Purefoy, Kevin McKidd and all of the Rome cast are amazing.
Gerry is so awesome as well, and since they both end up doing alot of roles as Ancient heros, they would be great to star side by side in some upcoming movie about some ancient empire! That is for sure. I am big fan of the Scottish actors and I always have been, and both Kevin and Gerry do not disappoint. I will always be a fan of them both and will look forward to all that they do in the future.
I heard Kevin say on The Bonnie Hunt Show that he had not yet met Gerry, even though they are both from Scotland. I have a feeling that it won't be long until they do, and when they do, they will be great friends. They both have great personalites as well as much in common. Both of them were in
bands in their younger years, so maybe they can have some fun jam sessions. I would love to be there for that one!
Thanks for letting me share my love for both Kevin & Gerry.

A fan forever,
