I just heard that Jonathan Rhys-Myers is playing Henry VIII in a new cable series.

Um. ...?

There's Jonathan Rhys-Myers ...

... and then there's Henry VIII.

Hee it's all ready been on the TV here in America and I liked it. They said that they cast Jonathan as Henry VIII because in Henry VIII's youth he was very desirable and all this other stuff. I'll see if I can find any YouTube links :)

Well, yeah, but ... WHUT?!

Here's a link to a video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fi9Gl3aTFlI It has the creator's viewpoint as well as some of the central cast's. They don't just talk about Jonathan as Henry VIII though, they talk about everyone. I'll try to find one just about Henry.

But ... Jonathan Rhys-Myers.

On a side note, after seeing Miss Boelyn, I now understand what 'ferret-faced' is supposed to mean. I mean that in a purely artistic sense. Huzzah for British casting and all that.
