Had a crush on the character, but not the actor/actress.

I had fantasies about Quasimodo in the animated Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Actually, I also had a BIG thing for Demitri in the animated Anistasia. But that doesn't count, cause I have a huge crush on John Cusack too.

I like Orlie as Will Turner more

I'm going to break the rules here for a second.

I don't have a crush on Dr. Venture from The Venture Bros., but I do have a thing for James Urbaniak!

Since we're on BroadwayWorld my mind bypassed the many movie and TV examples and thought of Will Swenson in Hair. Hot as Berger, kind of ooky out of character.

There are dozens, and I can't think of any of them. Disturbingly, Christian Bale in American Psycho keeps popping into my head. I almost never enjoy him (looks or acting, to be honest) but I enjoyed the hell out of him in that.

As far as warm and fuzzy character crushes go...they usually carry over to the actor/actress for me. I have like a thousand celebrity crushes. I'm a celebrity crush slut. It's not uncommon for me to have a crush on every single person on the TV shows I love.

Oh yes, most defintiely. I've always thought the actor was hot but it is the character they played that did it for me. My #1 - Sam Seaborn from The West Wing, then Derek Sheppard from Greys Anatomy (early seasons), Dawson was like my perfect guy when I was younger (and in that one I didnt find JVdB that attractive, so it was all character). I'm sure there are many others.

I'm with Craww. If I get a crush on a character, the warm fuzziness carries over to the actor. Which gets a bit silly when a crush on a character in one show ends up being a crush on a character in another show played by the same actor, even when this new character is kinda lame, just because of the warm fuzzies for the original character.

Although that said, I've been thinking about this, and I do have an answer. My mother and I both enjoy watching House, and have spent the last few years perplexedly wondering when exactly Hugh Laurie got sexy. Then last Christmas, we watched a documentary on Blackadder, which had a brief interview with Hugh Laurie; he was in full House garb, but he was talking in his normal Hugh Laurie voice. And that's when we realised - Hugh Laurie never got sexy. But he plays a sexy freakin' man on TV.

I actually get this a lot with filmed adaptations of books; I've never seen a filmed version of The Lost World (Conan Doyle) I liked, but that doesn't mean I don't still want to marry Lord John Roxton. Matt Smith I can take or leave, but my heart forever belongs to Jim Taylor from the Sally Lockhart quartet. Never cared one whit for Al Pacino, but Michael Corleone affects me.

Also with MotorTink on Sam Seaborn. Never really paid any attention to Rob Lowe, but in my post-West Wing haze... well, I think my thoughts on Sam have been well-documented elsewhere on the internet. Let's just summarise it by saying I'm <-> close to pasting a picture of Sam in my dictionary next to "handsome", and I was absolutely shouting for joy when he turned up in season 7. XD

I'm the opposite.

Love Robert Gant and Randy Harrison, never cared for Ben or Justin on Queer as Folk.

Love Brian Krause, but can't stand Leo on Charmed.
