Monday's Man: Hugh Bonneville
In honor of the final episode of Downton Abbey, Season 2, I present Lord Grantham himself, Hugh Bonneville.
LC NY Bureau Chief asked me who would I rather do, Bates or Lord Grantham. I said His Lordship, without a doubt.
I totally get the appeal of Bates, but Lord Grantham has a certain forceful manliness that Bates seems to lack. I, for one, am a big fan of forceful manliness, aren't you?
Here he is in modern drag, looking ever so handsome, as the English might say.
With short hair....
or full scruff, Hugh Bonneville is a decidely handsome man.

Bravo! A perfect choice in honor of "Downton Abbey's" most satisfying season-two finale last night.
As for Hugh Bonneville...absolutely! Lord Grantham over Bates. But I do prefer HB without that scruff. No thank you. I want him clean-shaven and in white tie and tails.
But how should Lord G. take me? Should I be Haughty Heiress in vintage House of Worth...or Virginal Chambermaid in a Jane-inspired maid's uniform...?
