(picture lifted without permission from http://www.cinemacomrapadura.com.br/)Luckily K-man, the other charter member, and myself slipped P-Stew into the club before we could be outvoted by our other members, who, by the way, would never even think of driving around with a "United Federation of Planets Delegate" bumper sticker on their car.
But, what can you say about the Picard? He captained his own starship, which, in my opinion, should garner instant admission into the damn handsome man's club (although...Shatner...just couldn't make the list because....of...his pudginess....post...Starfleet...career moves...and...most importantly...his signing career. Other than Trek, he simply does not have the overall body of work required. However, I plan to offer up Edward James Olmos for consideration this year.)
Aside from Trek, Jean-Luc's body of work is certainly impressive (although not as impressive as later members). He was thrice Professor Xavier (clairevoyant wheelchair handomness), appeared in Dune and Excaliber, and has made guest appearances in such young man fare as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius. He popped up in Conspiracy Theory, L.A. Story, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. While we do acknowledge that this is a very light cinematic resume for inclusion in our prestigous club, we were willing to accept his Shakespearean fondness and his other stage work in making our final determination. Plus, we're fairly certain he did a lot of British stuff that we never heard of. Plus, he's British, which can sometimes sway our panel, depending on the degree and slant of Britishness.
