When the outstanding Irish actor Aidan Turner makes his presence known anywhere, be it film, television, stage, or even in the flesh, heads turn from near and far and he immediately commands your attention. "His charisma is "effortlessly cool", co-star Russell Tovey once said. His talent as a performer is unparalled in his generation of actors and almost addicting. He leaves you wanting to see more and more in everything he puts his talented hands into. Aidan Turner made his mark and blasted onto the scene, stimulating the public with his breakout performance as John Mitchell, the cool, clever and devilishly gorgeous vampire in the outstanding BBC series "Being Human". Since then, his career has exploded with landing the role as the spirited dwarf, Kili, in Peter Jackson's iconic "Hobbit" films and his most recent success as the noble and physically ravishing Ross Poldark, the leading role of BBC's "Poldark" series. Aidan is genuine with a very easy to like personality. It is quite refreshing these days to see a person in the entertainment field who is so pragmatic and down to earth. He has this monumental friendly and cheerful disposition about him, topped with a splendid sense of humor. His humbleness is very commendable in an age where ego is king. This is just one of the many qualities that draws the masses in and is what makes Aidan very unique. His subtle charm, his rugged good looks and mostly his ability to envelop the characters he chooses to play, really convincing us they are real, three dimensional, living breathing people. He just doesn't deliver his lines, he makes us feel them. While we may not always agree with the his characters , we will surely understand them. That is what makes Aidan Turner a tremendously gifted actor. He can take you from friendly and fun to downright dark and manacing and we believe him every step of the way. We certainly haven't seen an actor of this magnitude emerge from the scene in nearly a decade.
