Here’s another guy I don’t know but one of you suggested! Now that I’ve tried it, I’m not going to do this again (at least not for a very long time) because researching someone I know nothing about is not particularly fun, and this blog is a hobby that we do in our off hours after paying work for, y’know, fun. Nicholas C. Frost, known professionally as Nicholas Farrell, has performed in movies, TV, and theater for many years in oodles of productions and lots of frock flicks. Many of which I couldn’t find pix for. This Man Candy Monday retrospective undoubtedly misses a few, but hopefully whoever asked for it will appreciate these highlights.

What’s your favorite frock flick role by Nicholas Farrell, and why did you suggest him for a Man Candy Monday?
I fell in love with him in “The Choir,” not a FF but he was an adorable choirmaster.
Fun fact, he’s married to Stella Gonet who played Beatrice in The Elliot’s.
House of Elliot I should have said.
He was rather lovely in Jewel in the Crown; he’s one of those actors who just keeps popping up.
Trystan, we appreciate your sacrifice 🫡
I remember him strongly as one of the MPs who pushed Meryl Streep’s Margaret Thatcher into running for Prime Minister. It’s a small role, but he sold it.
He was certainly easy to look at in most of his early work.
Hip, hip, hooray!!! Thank you for this MCM!! I LOVE Nicholas Farrell. I fell in love with him in a non-Frock Flick, Kenneth Branagh, “A Midwinter’s Tale.” And I see him everywhere. What a dish! What an actor!! Thanks again for this one!!!!
