I was once again googling Ioan and came upon this interesting website: www.geocities.com/me_richter/gruffudd_ioan.html JeepGirl, Thank you! The section below from your link was too good not to put here. 102 Dalmatians (2000) Oh, honey, why'd you do it? You were doing so well. First Hornblower and Great Expectations duked it out at the Emmys, with the gold going to Hornblower, then Warriors took home a BAFTA award, then Solomon & Gaenor went and trumped them all by getting an Academy Award nomination. Clearly, you were making your name as a talent to be reckoned with. And then… and then… 102 Dalmatians, Ioan? Really? That's what you decided to do next? I know it doesn't pay to be too snobby about prospective employment. Sometimes you have to pay the bills. But I'm still finding it hard to believe this was the best you were offered. I'm not judging it unfairly, either. Come on, be honest. It's a terrible, terrible movie. Not terrible in a "well, it's silly, but harmless enough" kind of way, or an "I hate to admit it, but I giggled a couple of times" way, either. No, it's vile. What was going through your head when you read the script? Granted, at that point you couldn't possibly know the finished product would include Gerard Depardieu wandering around in a fur jockstrap. But I'm betting the running gag about how he pronounces "puppy" as "poopy" in his French accent was in the script, right? What about the part where Glenn Close gets baked into the cake? Or how about that littlest puppy, whose barks get subtitled in baby talk? You probably have warm fuzzy memories of this film, because you started dating your co-star Alice Evans afterward. She's a total knockout, so congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, but… jeez, this film is really, really bad. You know what's the worst part? I don't even like you in it. I know your character is supposed to be naïve and trusting, but honestly, you come across as, well, kind of brain-damaged. That's unkind, I know, and I'm a terrible person for saying it, but it's true. I gave up on you around the time you got on all fours and played tug-of-war with a piece of knotted rope against a bulldog. Using your teeth. And we were barely past the opening credits! On behalf of the entertainment industry, I'd like to extend a formal apology that you were so ill-used and abused in your Hollywood debut. And honestly, I still don't think we've quite figured out what to do with you. We keep making you do fake American accents and doing horrible things to your hair. Which reminds me of the one thing that I do genuinely like about 102 Dalmatians: Your hair. Those floppy bangs were a good look for you. Oh, and the shorts that you cheekily paired with knee socks and a parka. Yeah. Those were good, too. The rest of the movie? Poopy. Now wasn't that well written and so-o funny?!! http://ilovemylifebrothersandsisters.blogspot.com/

I love all the reviews written! I chuckled while reading most of them. :) If you go out to the main page of the site, there is a review entirely on the Hornblower series.

Someone help my failing memory cells........isn't this site done by an IOL member? I seem to remember them posting details a while back. It's a hoot isn't it? :happy

Thanks for the link, Robyn. I'll go through that page. Someone help my failing memory cells........isn't this site done by an IOL member? I seem to remember them posting details a while back. It's a hoot isn't it? :happy Yes, me_richter was an IOL member.
