Fuck Yeah Ian McShane

A Tumblr dedicated to the actor Ian McShane, who can be seen as Captain Blackbeard in the new Pirates movie on May 20th. He also played Al Swearengen in the HBO series Deadwood and played Lovejoy in the TV series of the same title. I am not affiliated with Ian McShane in any capacity.

What is the “medallion“ on a cord he wears around his neck?

I’m not too sure, actually! Good question, though!

Lovejoy Lives

That's right... you've been wondering where I've been all these years since I left your screens in 1994. How did you all cope without a drama based on a lovable rogue antiques trader? I guess you've had to endure that orange Devonian from Bargain Hunt and his bucked tooth predecessor with the funny Primark specs. Anyhow I'll cut to the chase, I've moved on from trading antiques and now I'm trading Pokemon. Here are some I caught...

Ever wonder what Ian’s parents look like? Here’s a photo from 1989.

Took after his mom, though you can certainly see his dad in him.

Ian McShane as the deliciously malevolent ‘Sidney’ in the so-horrible-it’s-wonderful film ‘Torchlight’, 1984.

NYT film reviewer Janet Maslin wrote: “Mr. McShane, the strongest presence in the movie, is wicked enough to put Oliver Reed to shame.  As played with the utmost enthusiasm by Ian McShane, ‘Sidney’ is a Mephistophelean drug dealer, so slimy he practically leaves a trail across the floor. “

The slimier the better?

I've never even heard of this film, but now I must find it because I love myself a good awful film.

I've seen Thankskilling, for crying out loud.

Ian McShane in ‘The Seeker: The Dark is Rising’.  He says it was his most miserable movie shoot ever, in post-revolutionary Romania.  Feral dogs roamed the streets because bewildered citizens transitioning into a capitalist market economy could no longer support pets, the food was terrible (Ian even got food poisoning while there), and there was nothing to do at night.  Teetotal Ian says he spent his free time on the internet cooped up in his hotel room avoiding other cast members because they spent their time drinking.  One crew member described Ian as “a big grouch who looked at us all with murderous intentions” during the filming of this film.  It wasn’t a good movie, either.  But he still looked good.

Ian McShane as the very scary Teddy Bass in ‘Sexy Beast’.  Photographer Immo Klink has said, “Ian taught me If you want to look like a gangster you have to stare past the person you’re talking to. As if that person was already gone.”
