Richard Armitage Legenda 72: Stuff worth reading

[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

The expression on Richard Armitage’s face when he asserts to the interviewer from TORn that he doesn’t go out. Sorry, Armitage, that face sort of undermines the claim. Astonished claims of honesty are usually covers for lies, in my humble experience dealing with undergrads. Servetus grins. Hope you’re having fun, wherever you are! My cap.
