Bad boys


Some early, and quite alarming, "tough guy" photos from the genius Steve Brown. Who knew two pansies could look so hard in real life? This is just Phase One in Steve's dastardly visual plan. More to come.

That's amazing.

If they ever decide to make a 'live action' Captain Scarlet, you're dead cert for the Captain Black part!

And if they ever decide to make a biopic of Chris Rea...

I think Richard looks like the smooth talking bad boy who makes girls go weak at the knees whereas you look more like the curmudgeony jealous next door neighbour. But a neighbour who drinks REAL milk!

Blimey, you look a bit like Lee McQueen!

Or was that the plan?

Andrew, you look just like the singer from Hard Fi!
And Richard looks like an actor called Jamie Foreman, a cockney geezer who was in Layer Cake and Gangster No.1.

Excellent ! Very Ray Liotta AC. And RH looks like he has spotted a potential heckler at the back. Not me though, no siree.

You look like Tarantino!

Herring looks like Charlie Boorman.

Clearly all your experiences have led to your next career: modeling! This is fantastic, although I think I prefer the smiling Andrew photos. Richard is clearly a natural, but you look like you put more emotion into this. Well done!

Herrin looks terrifyin'. Like a world weary maths teacher about to unleash the stream of vindictive sarcasm he's been holding back for five years. Or maybe he's thinking about that heckler again. You, Andrew, look like you've been told 'do your grumpy face'. Bless.

Blimey Richard really does look like he's in a western of the pasta variety.

Sadly Andrew I think you look like you think you're about to be punched. Very mean.

Your surname's got a typo. Is that deliberate?

 
At Thu May 08, 09:45:00 AM , Blogger Andrew Collins said...

That's not a typo, Peter. For the purposes of the double act, we are Collings & Herrin. (He added a "G" to mine; I stole one from him.)

Richard looks like Lemmy

*runs off*

With all this recent talk of Blake's 7, Andrew, you would make a good 'third' Travis. Uncannily like the 'second' version, Brian Croucher.

Richard looks like Kurt Russell.

Kind of looks a bit like the promo pictures for Deadwood's DVD box set (the unseen Series 4: Deadwood The Next Generation, starring Andrew Collins as Alvin Swearington and Richard Herring as Seth Bollocks).

 
At Thu May 08, 04:10:00 PM , Blogger Drucifer said...

Rich does look mean, but Andrew, you look like you're watching 2 Girls 1 Cup.

Hats off to the photographer. Great work. I hope you bought him a beer and thanked him nicely.

 
At Thu May 08, 08:54:00 PM , Blogger Gari said...

So, Collings aiming to be the next incarnation of The Master in RTD's Doctor Who, whilst Herrin finally gets the role he always wanted in Deadwood.
I'm sorry but that is one scary look you've got going on there Mr Collins.
You'll never get a duck to kiss you looking like that.

That photographer has actually made you look like a bastard! Every time you pass a mirror, you are now entirely justified in pointing at your own reflection, nodding and gruffly scowling, "Cool."

I definately see a calendar coming out for the Christmas market. I can see you hanging up there with the boy bands and footballers. (*thinks* "remember to add this to Christmas present list")

Have these been buggered about with?

 
At Fri May 09, 02:16:00 PM , Blogger debspollard88 said...

I've just realised who you remind me of in this photo, Andrew - that wonderful British character actor, George Innes. (This is a compliment, as I always thought he was ace - ever reliable even in the worst tosh!)

I was in Sam's Chophouse, Manchester, before and my friend mentioned your name. Basically, his mate did those shots for you. Not strange, these things happen, yes. But consider I've been reading this blog for ages, and had read this post just an hour before his revelation. An eery coincidence. Think he's possibly doing some typography for yourself too. Cool.

You touch people, Mr Collings, and I don't think you realise it!
