One small mystery solved

After I posted that “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief” contained gratuitous scenes of Daniel Craig in a Greek mini-skirt, the astute Sarah F pointed out that whoever was playing Poseidon, it wasn’t Daniel Craig.

This threw me into a three day ferment of “so who was it then?  I’m sure I know his face from somewhere.”  And I’m happy to announce that I’ve tracked him down and it was in fact Kevin McKidd, who I knew from the Rome TV series, where he played the centurion Lucius Vorenus.

I’m not at all ashamed at getting them mixed up, since I had them both filed in my mental category of “hard looking blond bastards.”
