Given the number of recent entries, I'm practically spamming - forgive me.

So I caught MI: Ghost Protocol today. And my first thought when Jeremy Renner steps on screen is - cute. prole. puppy. Oh hi, Simon.

It really didn't hurt that the character he plays is an analyst who from all appearances could well have an eidetic memory chip.

All he needs to do is turn the glare up by a few notches...

I believe he was written as a homage to Kuryakin, so it's sort of canonical. Even though Kuryakin is blond, it does just about work for me, perhaps because I've only seen the black & white MFU episodes where his hair looks more grey/mousy, which is also right for Illyan. But I really tend to see characters in motion rather than as faces, and Kuryakin moves like Illyan ought to, subtly and unnoticeably and lethally.
