I think it's an excellent choice - he is so damn beautiful!
XOXOXO
I've put The Tudors on my Netflix... so I can get acquainted with him.
Still, even though I knew Brandon wouldn't be back, it's sad to become so official.
I will miss Brandon, I had a crush on him.
Henry maybe to a good job that remains to be seen.
Very, very good choice!
My vote still would've gone to Sam Page, but this guy looks the part. Let's hope it turns out ok.
I think Henry Cavill is an excellent choice. Excellent actor and looks the part too.
However, I loved Brandon "Channelling Christopher Reeve" Routh too........
