Why is Alan Cumming so fantastically, amazingly attractive and fascinating to watch? Even in really, really bad movies?

Same goes for Robert Downey Jr for me, for some reason. Like, even when he's not even acting his role properly. He was totally miscast in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But he was what made that movie fun to watch. He was also inappropriately creepy-as-fuck in that romantic comedy with Marisa Tomei, despite needing to be a believable romantic hero, but somehow managed to be intriguing and charismatic anyway.
I even like it when he plays skeeves. I love his skeevy characters a lot. Man. MAN.
(and ditto on the thing for gay men)
Yes. Although Robert Downey Jr is not gay. It's just odd to me 'cause neither of them is remotely my type physically (I go almost exclusively for younger, tall-thin-boyish looking men), and yet they are just kind of devastating on screen.
Off-screen though, I find Alan sweet and lovable but not all that sexy. (I never met him, but I mean in interviews and such.) It's when he's playing some kind of twisted character that he's wickedly irresistible.
Actually I feel the same way about Johnny Depp. Totally "eh" out of character, but enticingly charismatic when he's playing some messed up person. (Only "eh" when he plays someone "normal," like in "Neverland" though.)
So maybe my point is, I just like demented-eccentric character actors.
He's great in the Spy Kids movies.
(I may have taken my nephews and little cousins to see them. Maybe.)
You know, thinking about it, I think Alan Cumming ONLY appears in kind of bad movies. Huh.
I'm just getting to Tin Man. Does this movie get awesome? Right now all I'm getting is weird and elseworldy.
Tin Man wasn't bad for a Sci-Fi original movie.
That's the best I can say. :D
Yeah...I watched the whole thing with my roommates.
At least Zooey is cute. :D
For that matter, the witch is as well.
Also as much of a crush I have on Zooey, I think she's not as horrible of an actress as she usually is.
Actually I think Zooey's pretty terrible in this.
The thing as a whole gets significantly more interesting by the time you get to part 2.
Glitch is sexy and awesome throughout.
Ooooohh but those eyes.. those eyes, I'm sorry Zooey, I was only kidding, please love me.

He's not even, you know, good-looking as such. And yet that man oozes sex appeal. I mean, really.
There is no way this should be a "sexy" character.
