Richard Armitage and the new Robin Hood

I was reading Michelle Styles' blog today and saw that she posted a picture of Richard Armitage in a historical role that I didn't recognize. A little bit of research on IMDB, and I quickly figured out he has a recurring role on the BBC series Robin Hood.

He plays Marian's alternate love interest to Robin Hood, and he's great. (I love YouTube! And I espectially love the person who clipped all the Marian/Guy scenes, so I could just watch their subplot.) He's totally conflicted. He's allied himself with the Sheriff of Nottingham (one bad dude), in an effort retore his family's title, land and honor but he chafes at having to work for sucha slime. Marian, of course, gets to see him struggle with the outer goal of trying to achieve his goals and the inner goal of doing what's right.
