Richard Armitage:Reads TS Elliot + richardarmitagenet.com Website Discovers New Photos(see below) + Hand-made Quilt Charity Auction(see link below) Phantom of the OpeRA + Narrates Cornwell's Lords of The North (see link below)

Here's another actor (British again:) who just seems to do things that are so uncelebrity-like that they make my heart melt.  Henry Cavill took time from his Superman shooting schedule to meet and greet American airmen and women at Edwards Air Force Base.  I remember seeing an interview where, when asked what he might've done with his life if not an actor, Cavill said he had planned to enter the military - same as one of his older brothers.

There is another narrator besides RA for Bernard Cornwell's Lords of The North.  That's why it's crucial to make certain you're ordering RA's version - following is the BBC's site offering his audiobook:

CORRECT POLL ANSWER: 48% answered correctly that the gift sent to RA, which he said "cleaned my mouth out", was chocolate soap:

Query:"Apr 2008:in a thank you message to fans,RA listed gifts that were sent to him--one was "Chocolate___(really cleaned my mouth out!)"--fill in the blank"
