You have seen Mark Strong in a movie. Recently even! He was McLovin's mobster dad in Kick-Ass. His plots were unraveled by Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes. (At least I assume they were - I try not to see RDJ movies unless forced to... thanks Joss!)
He tore George Clooney's fingernails out in Syriana. He helped out Channing and Jamie Bell in The Eagle and he was the red-skinned Sinestro in Green Lantern (He previously caught my attention enough to post upon him there).
He was in Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day and Robin Hood and RockNRolla and Sunshine. He's playing a bad guy in John Carter. (He plays a lot of bad guys, in case you haven't noticed.) And yet somehow I never remember who the hell he is. Maybe it's how he looks like Stanley Tucci one second and Andy Garcia the next, and then maybe like if Elias Koteas and Christopher Meloni and Nestor Carbonell had a three-way baby.

And you wanna know what I think the problem is? Why we can't keep him in our mind too firmly, that is? If my good long scouring of the internet's to be believed, Mark Strong has never done a nude scene. Never-nude alert! Now he's been around a long while so perhaps he has and it's just not gotten online yet, but it was like pulling teeth to even find a little shirtlessness! What the hell, Mark Strong? The time has come. The time is beyond come! Get with the program. Anyway it's his birthday today, and I gathered up the best I could. we'll have to make due, for now. See a bunch after the jump.

This flick was probably not on your radar screen but he also played a very dashing Mr. Knightley in "Emma" opposite Kate Beckinsdale. It's what made me a Mark Strong fan. He was also very good in the "Anna Karenina" miniseries.
I liked him in Flashbacks of a Fool. I love that Daniel Craig movie.
Great taste. He's one gorgeous man, and those are lovely pictures!
he is sooo sexy, just drool worthy man and great actor
I agree - we need some photos of a shirtless Mark Strong! And the sooner, the better! I'm smitten.
He first caught my attention as a detective on "Prime Suspect" #3, starring Helen Mirren. Tallest, most handsome man in the room. I can't believe there are no nudes of him!
You were not the only one crushing on Sinestro after that movie! He is gorgeous! He'd have to spoon me up off the floor with a soup ladle; I'd melt into a puddle on the ground.
