| 8 | * AntiHero: Often plays characters with a great degree of moral ambiguity, or at least a distinct {{Jerkass}} edge. |
| 9 | * MrFanservice: He's already being referred to by his ''Hobbit'' co-stars as "sexy dwarf" and "the hot one". |
| 10 | ** He then scythed his way into the hearts of many female ''Poldark'' fans via getting his shirt off on a number of occasions. |
| 11 | * PermaStubble: Seems to be his usual state of being. |
| 12 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: The fingerless gloves that became so iconic to Mitchell? It was simply because the Bristol set where they filmed ''Being Human'' was absolutely freezing, and he was looking to pile on any extra layer he could. They became so iconic to him that they were eventually explained as he was covering as much of his light-sensitive vampire flesh as he could. |
| 13 | ** RealLifeWritesThePlot is also the reason Mitchell was written out of ''Being Human'', because Aidan was cast in ''Film/TheHobbit''. |
| 14 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: He's 5'11, has long black hair and his brooding good looks are legendary. |
| 15 | * VampiresAreSexGods: His performance in ''Series/{{Being Human|UK}}'' helped to solidify this idea into the minds of British women. |
