The Dirk Bogarde Appreciation thread....

...Who can resist Dirk Bogarde?

With his role as the sweet, yet sensitive chickenhawk in "Death in Venice", he reminded us all why older men leer at young nubile boys...

Ya' gotta love Dirk Bogarde....

3. Wow. He looked VERY different when he was on the A-Team & Galactica

I guess I don't remember those earlier roles.
