Because:

1. This is fandom secrets. This entire community is about personal opinions. This secret isn't any different.

2. A lot of people find BC attractive. A lot of people. Hell, it's almost considered blasphemy to not find him attractive in certain fandom communities. So no wonder some people are wondering "WTF" the hype is about. Especially when he is, let's face it, not a traditionally attractive man. A woman with a face like that would never get onto a television show.

Yes, it is fandom secrets. My question was kind of in reply to theirs.

Oh, I don't know, Maggie Gyllenhaal has done pretty well and although I don't think she's unattractive, I wouldn't consider her traditionally attractive. Same goes with Laura Carmichael (Edith on Downton Abbey). But, I will agree that it's much easier for an interesting-looking man to get work as a lead than it is for an interesting-looking woman.

Which says alot more about televison than anything else.

Tilda Swinton kind of reminds me of BC, with her pale features and *interesting* (ie not conventionally attractive) face, and she has done quite well in Hollywood. Of course, she is a damn fine actress. But then again, BC seems to be pretty talented (I don't think I've ever seen him in anything other than Sherlock, but he seems to be a serious actor, from what i have seen and read).

Yeah, people are conflating dime-a-dozen ugly and unusual. BC's face is really unusual. People may not find him attractive, but those cheekbones and combination of features are aesthetically interesting and not found on many people. Art often isn't pretty but visually striking. Top models often aren't pretty. They're unusual and unique. Tilda Swinton definitely has the same thing going on.
