I don't really think Matt Smith is all that unconventional. Maybe by the standards of modern telly, but if you cast him in a Hammer film he'd be the impossibly good-looking lead. I think the fact that Matt Smith is painted as being odd-looking is much more of a comment on the narrow standards of modern telly than on the man himself. YMMV.

I also think it's interesting that (for totally innocent reasons) a post about how there isn't enough variety in female form on telly has turned into a discussion of a leading male.
