10 | James has a reputation for being MrFanservice with countless [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]], but [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct has soundly proved his acting abilities]] in dramatic scenes ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJTsiZuI7f0 like this (spoiler!) one]]). Amusingly, his roles tend to be involved in LoveTriangle. He seems to have a tendency to play athletic characters too. |

28 | !!This actor provides examples of: |
29 | |
30 | * BigBrotherInstinct / NiceGuy: His aversion to hitting his co-star in the face in one episode of Merlin, even asking the director if he could just grab him by the shirt. |
31 | -->''...[[http://youtu.be/NyPc0TZ6yfQ?t=2m41s I don’t really… I’m not sure if I should whack him round the face... I kind of held back. Because he’s only tiny.]]'' |
32 | ** Also: |
33 | -->''[[http://www.pinterest.com/pin/480829697688573684/ I didn’t like throwing things at Colin, he’s only a little lad. I’d ask the director, do I really need to throw this at him? And he’d say, yes, throw it as hard as you can.]]'' |
34 | * BoisterousBruiser: He appears to be extroverted and fun-loving in behind-the-scene materials. |
35 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has perfect deadpan delivery in comedic scenes and snarks quite a bit in real life too. |
36 | * ForcefulKiss: He seems to be the victim of this in everything he has acted in. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ztalsGcqFU Most prominently on Merlin.]] |
37 | %%* {{Hunk}} (Zero-Context Example) |
38 | * MrFanservice: He is often utilized as eye candy due to his looks. |
39 | * ThePrankster: Often pulls jokes and pranks on his fellow co-stars alongside Creator/ColinMorgan. |
40 | * PuppyDogEyes: [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/59742190164 He's an]] [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/95823327253 expert]] [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/98510378703 at]] [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/30524553592/euphoria1001-pouty-arthur-requested-by it.]] |
41 | * RedOniBlueOni: Bradley is the Red to Colin's Blue. While Bradley is more extroverted, fun-loving and attention seeking, Colin is more introverted, quiet and shy. |
42 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Began dating Creator/GeorgiaKing after filming Merlin 3x06, in which she played the princess Arthur's father wanted him to marry. |
43 | * ShirtlessScene: Rather infamous for this. |
44 | ** Though he himself mocks it in the Merlin commentaries, along with Colin Morgan. |
45 | -->''[[http://youtu.be/BZJBiaZS-b8?t=7m32s As opposed to the gratuitous top shots that I had in ep one where I was putting keys away on numerous occasions with no top on.]]'' |
