Damien has played so many characters - and such a variety too! It struck me the other day that his characters have done so many activities - and when I began to think of all those 'doing words' it was quite mind boggling!
So I thought it would make an enjoyable topic for discussion and it will also test our knowledge of Damien's huge range of TV and film work!
I hope you all join in Molonians, let's have fun with this!
There are 3 parts:
1. Match the actions below with a Damien character, or characters! Feel free to use any of our screencaps here (copy/ paste) to demonstrate!
2. Are there any Damien character activities missing from this list, if so what are they?
3. What activity would you like to see a Damien character do that we haven't seen yet?
Please note: For the purposes of this discussion let's stick to Damien's TV and film characters, not everyone has seen his theatre work.
Damien character activities (in no particular order)
"It’s not dissatisfaction, it’s a feeling more akin to having been born in captivity..the seeping realisation that your dreams and ambitions are just too big, too rich for this domestic world”
Suspects (just loads and loads! and some of it very chasey and speedy! )
any of you Suspects superfans out there remember which series / episodes? These cannot be the only examples!
(Series 2 ep 2)
(Series 3 ep 3)
(Series 3 ep 4)
(Series 4 ep 4)
(series 5 ep 4)
GameFace
(Ep 2)
OMG - THAT CANNOT BE THE ONLY SCENE IN WHICH DAMIEN DRIVES IN GAMEFACE! He sits in card in most episodes, but is there any more actual Jon driving! I am SHOCKED!
So I want to see more of that in series 2 yes please!
Thanks for joining in Ann! I was writing my post when you were posting, sorry I missed it til after! Sorry for not making it clearer - it's Damien's on screen projects / tv / film because not everyone has seen his theatre work. That's actually a photo of him in rehearsal for The Body Of An American!
Ooh good catch with smoking - what do we see him smoking in? we should try and find screencaps!
Suspects obvs (there must be more eps than this but it's my fave!)
(Series 2 ep 2)
Ripper Street perhaps not so obvs, when Flight is undercover and trying to befriend Evelyn
(Series 2 Ep 4 'Dynamite and a Woman')
... What else?
Fully agree with you Ann - I'd love to see a Damien character in a bit of team sport!
"It’s not dissatisfaction, it’s a feeling more akin to having been born in captivity..the seeping realisation that your dreams and ambitions are just too big, too rich for this domestic world”
I was trying to find a screencap of the sandwich eating and milk guzzling from the same episode of Ripper Street but it didn't seem to be in the Ripper Street screencaps.
Even though we have seen Damien character's dancing - I would love to see more and different styles - definitely ballroom and especially argentine tango!
Wow, yes, the tango! Or a bit of Irish dancing - love to see him fling his arms out in true Michael Flatley style! I mean, we heard him in 'The Effect' but radio has poor visuals . .
It's the only picture of him on the exercise bike.
Drinking
Reading (well a computer screen)
Jumping (sort of)

This. Must. Happen
Didn't Jack tell Charlie that he did two years of Irish Dancing in an episode of Suspects! #Jacksass
Also powerful is this single man tear moment in Being Human
Series 4 Episode 4 'A Spectre Calls'
Not sure why I listed crying (and not smiling and laughing) when it's not really an 'activity' but think I was thinking of this scene from Crashing - which is crying and sexing together!
more sexing from Crashing
(someone had to do this and I guess it was going to have to be me!)
