And then you have people like Alexis Denisof, husband to Alyson Hannigan,
best known for playing Wesley Wyndam-Pryce in Buffy and Angel, and for a
three second clip in The Avengers movie where he is in such heavy makeup
and prosthetics that he is almost unrecognisable. As Wesley, he has such a
sexy upper-crust British accent that he could could almost make straight
men turn. In real life, he sounds like Kermit the Frog on helium.
