David Hewlett: always a bad hair day

[eruthros]

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I just spent a little while googling for images of David Hewlett. And eventually I found the screencaps index that tarlanx maintains, where I discovered a) that David Hewlett is always having a bad hair day and b) that David Hewlett has been in some seriously hilarious films.

You should check all the screencaps out, they're awesome. BUT I wanted to share two with you in particular:

A shot from My Secret Identity, in which David Hewlett's secret identity appears to be ... motorcycle gang. Or, in my preferred interpretation, leatherboy.

And a shot from Survivor, which I have mentally subtitled Doctor Rodney's Science Corner.

The glasses: adorable.
The shirt/jacket/poloneck combo: OH DAVID NO.

How about this epically, AMAZINGLY bad fedora + chin merkin (http://www.davidhewlett.co.uk/scrncaps/desireandhell/desireandhell020.html) combo?

Oh, wait, comprehensiveness fail. Ladies and gentlemen, that is a STRAW FEDORA. My mistake.

The BEARD. It's so upsetting.

Oh man, and it doesn't even FIT HIM.

I decided, after a while, that the only time David Hewlett is not having a bad hair day is when it is hidden by a hat. But if he takes the hat off, watch out.

oh my god, he manages to preserve the bad hair EVEN WHILE WEARING A HAT, by transferring his bad hair day hair to his chin. I am amazed.
