ray stevenson - a reason to watch "rome"

Ray Stevenson! Total reason I'm watching HBO's series "Rome." Okay...and I'm learning a little faux history while I'm at it. Actors Kenneth Cranham and Lindsay Duncan are also noteworthy. But Ray's the man for me to watch. His sex scene upon returning home from war in the first episode has been replayed in our house several times since through HBO on Demand. (Technological advances--from ancient Roman times to the present--have always been reduced immediately to a medium for viewing sex.)
My only critique of the show: British actors as Italians are kind of disconcerting.
When Caesar's niece Atia of the Julii (Polly Walker) bathes in bull's blood to the beat of drums and naked satyr's hooves as a ritual to protect her son, it seems very raw and very Roman. But then the scene changes quickly to the next and she's all cleaned up and speaking as clipped and snippy as a Merchant/Ivory governess.
I'd love to see this directed by Felini or Zeffirelli. Woof. We'd see a lot more furry male butt, if you know what I mean.

Did you catch his hot gymnastics with Cleopatra in this week's episode!? HBO rocks!
Yes, and I take it back! We've seen a lot of furry male butt in this series. I love HBO!
I’m with you on Ray Stevenson! Oooo...6'4" of pure man. And those shoulders and that neck! Bliss...
Okay, James Purefoy had his full-frontal...where’s Ray’s?
I enjoyed James Purefoy's frontal VERY much, but I am still waiting for one from Ray. Please Ray!? Pretty please!
P.S.: Will anyone ever approach the ballsy nudity of Christopher Meloni in his OZ days? I'm watching and hoping.
Keeping in mind they're not italians, they're Romans. It's true they shouldn't have British accents, but what kind of accent would you rather they have? There probably isn't an accent for Latin to English. I'm taking Latin currently and I can't figure what kind of accent might have come out of it.
Agreed though, Ray and James are two of the hottest men I think I've ever seen, and I just thank goodness that HBO did this series so we got to see some of that good stuff!!!
(Episode "Caesarion" is the best one save the last two in the whole series, so far, even JUST because of the Cleopatra/Pullo sex scene. Oh, baby.)
