'planetcool,' was the desire to present, promote, and praise talents that don't get their share of the spotlight. one such talent is the actor ronan vibert. i've mentioned him before, but i think he's really good, so here comes the spotlight again. from 'jeeves and wooster' to 'the shadow of the vampire,' to 'lara croft,' i've seen enough of his work to realize he's an unsung gem. he's versatile enough to play a 'champagne villian' in any action movie... he's handsome enough to be a romantic lead, and judging by this shot from the 1999 bbc production of 'the scarlet pimpernel,' he can handle serious 'history' and costume parts, too. he played the wicked and unscrupulous robespierre. i wasn't able to find a shot from the exact chapter i wanted; (i wanted him in a slightly different wig...) but what the hell, he has timeless handsome features, a light, interesting english voice, and the zeal to make faces and take risks when the part calls for it. you can see him in the 'jeeves and wooster' episode 'bertie sets sail,' and also as the cameraman wolfgang muller in the brilliant, dark, and often hilarious 'the shadow of the vampire.'
