Happy birthday to Richard Armitage
How to tell if you’re a Richard Armitage admirer
Surprise! How’s it going? I sure missed you. What’s new? Any excitement?
This looks like fun!
In honor of Richard Armitage’s 42nd birthday, I created a fan video. I’d like to give special thanks to my friend ItsJSforMe for all her help and encouragement. She also provided the image in my fanvideo at 3:47. Check out the fun times on her blog. ItsJSforMe posted a wild and wonderful photo essay series entitled MI6: Mission ImPortable featuring John Porter, my favorite Richard Armitage character.
Also, most of my other images came from RichardArmitageNet.Com. I always click through the Amazon links so a commission is donated to charity.
Without further ado, here is your fan video:

By the way, if you would like a transcript of the text used on the screen, you can find it over on YouTube in the video description.

Another fabulous video bccmee and what a wonderful way to share in the birthday celebration with us all. Thank you
@lindylou: This was such a fun project. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
This was worth the wait. Hilarious!
@bZirk: Glad to hear it, thanks!
Oh my gosh, that was so fun! The magazines were just incredible, if only…
@Love4ot: Seriously, it would be awesome to see a magazine rack full of RA covers! Thanks for your support, sis! *HUGS*
I love it! I actually had tingles during the “spot him in a group pic” segment. It’s so good to “hear” from you. Hope you’re well. I miss your presence in the RAFN. Hugs.
@Kitty: It’s always a delight to see you! Thanks for your kindness and ongoing support!
I was wondering if a vid was to make an appearance! You never fail to astound; thought for a minute Batman graphic might appear too LOL
@Fanny: Well I wasn’t sure I’d get it done, but I made a last-minute push and here is the result. Thanks for your comment. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future!
This was absolutely brilliant, bccmee!
@jasrangoon: Aw thanks, glad you liked it!
Oh how I missed you, bccmee!! Life is better now that you are back!
Brilliant, as ever, and hope to see more of your fabulous works from now on!
@grendel’smum: Wow, thanks again for all your support. I see you posted my video on your Japanese blog, cool!
Perfect! Now just hold still till I get this lasso swinging…
@jazzbaby1: *giggle* I’m totally visualizing this scenario.
Are you visualizing me smacking myself in the face with it? Because, uh, that TOTALLY DIDN’T HAPPEN.
*gigglesnerk* (Is that a thing?)
Whoa, what an Armitage Day present! What jazzy said. How can we keep you around?
@Servetus: I don’t know what the future brings. Will keep you posted!
Hello! So happy to see you back. :D.
So excited that I haven’t watched your video yet. 😛
Hope you are well. 🙂 *hugs*
Magwi xxx (Don’t know why I came up as anonymous!)
Video is fabulous! Thank you! 😀
@magwi: Thanks for your lovely comment. Glad you popped back in after watching the video! Delighted you enjoyed it!
Hi Bccmee, it’s lovely to see you back! Thanks for another great video. ♥
@vec170203: It’s so wonderful to see all the familiar faces! Thanks for your kind words.
OMG! This video is absolutely fantastic! ❤ Thanks for the great surprise! So good to see you back, Bccmee! :*
@Ania: Great to be back! Thrilled you enjoyed the birthday video!
It’s great to see you bccmee, we missed you. What a great job on this video, it is beautiful, bravo!
@Laure: Oh I’m just delighted you enjoyed the video, thanks!
I love love LOVE this video. Looks like A LOT of work. Betcha only slapped it together in an hour. 😉 Glad to see you back. Hope you’re staying for a while….
@judiang: LOL! Truth be told, it took about a day for each piece and then 3 days to tie it all together. It’ll never be perfect but at least it’s DONE! 😀
I’ve missed you so much but what a fantastic way to come back!! I was spellbound through the whole video and could hardly wait to see your signature “little clip at the end”! 😉 You have excelled yourself with this one! I too would love to see him on the cover of *every* magazine but I’m sure the darling man would hate it! 😦 How I wish he could see this video though – and who knows, maybe someone will show it to him!! We can only hope. 😀
@Teuchter: You know, I never paused long enough to realize he wouldn’t really cotton to the idea of being on every magazine cover. Reminds me of the scene in Notting Hill when Hugh Grant’s character says he’s a reporter from Horse & Hound magazine! Now that is a magazine I’d love to see with Richard Armitage on the cover! Thanks for the warm welcome back! 😀
Very happy you didn’t pause before you put him on the front of all those mags!! Horse and Hound? Now your talking! That *would* be worth seeing! LOL 😉
@Teuchter: Now my imagination is running RAmpant! I can’t get it out of my head, aaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
*falls over laughing* 😀 😀
So much to LOVE in this video! I find something new *every* time I watch. You are amazing!!
@Teuchter: Strangely enough, I find new things too. Maybe I was in a trance when I made the video, LOL!
Oh my Guy! That was absolutely wonderful. Of course, I loved “Guy of Thrones”. But I waited to the absolute end because you always sneak something in there and I was not disappointed. LUCAS! That was perfect! Nice to see you again, B. Hope you come back to do more!
@jeanniegisborne: I wouldn’t be surprised if others thought of Guy of Thrones as well but I couldn’t resist the urge! Hee hee, I’m thrilled you stayed for the end. I saved the best for last!
LOL! I love this so much! Your are sorely missed, Lady! Love & Hugs! Grati ;->
@Gratiana: Such a short comment for you. Do I need to take your temperature? LOL!
Seriously, thanks for all your support over the years. 😀
Giggles, Bccmee!
I had to cut it short so I could head back to work after my lunch break at home. Or I would have written you a tome. Ha! And I’ve learned to be judicious with my online computer eye time out of necessity. Ha!
Hhhhhh! If only we had your stellar presence and creativity around again in RA blogland on a regular basis–hint, hint–life would be so gRAnd, whether or not the tall guy who looks good in and out of leather puts on a cape and spandex or he dons a tux and drinks his martini’s shaken and not stirred. Ha! See? I remember your hope for one of RA’s future roles.
Cheers! Grati ;->
@Gratiana: ROTFL! I love your comments. Thanks for taking the time to come back and supplement. For the record, this comment literally made me laugh aloud!
I’ve said it on twitter, but just had to leave a comment as well… I’m so happy that you’re back!!! It’s a wonderful RAbirthday present to all of us. And that video is genius! x
@IngD3: Good times on twitter! Thanks for taking the time to comment here. Thrilled you enjoyed the video!
woo hoo! the B’s buzzin’ again! hope all is well with you?
@Meryl: LOL! Yes, I’m back for the moment. It’s lovely to see you again!
Signs I’m a Richard Armitage admirer:
1.I am still subscribed to at least one largely inactive fan site (you just never know what might pop up …)
2.Although I try to be blasé, an accidental encounter with Guy of Gisborne (esp. sitting on Iron Throne) is still a buzzy thrill.
3.I’ve looked and looked and looked but I haven’t found a backside I prefer in all of entertainmentdom.
Crackerjack video Bccmee although I would also have enjoyed seeing him in Skippy 🙂
@beengizzied: Oooh, what’s the name of that defunct site? 😉
Is that photo a self-portrait? You may want to try braids to avoid the flyaway hair.
There’s nobody in the world with a better derriere, in or out of the entertainment industry.
As for Skippy, do you mean the peanut butter? 😉 http://www.peanutbutter.com/
Bccmee! I have missed you so much! And you have come back in a brilliant way. It is so good to hear from you again! I love this video. It made me laugh out loud. Guy of Thrones, oh I wish! And ‘I am your father’. LOL I learned a long time ago to watch til the very end. Thank you for all your hard work in making this video. It made my day!
@Carolyn: You are WAY too kind! Hee hee, glad you laughed aloud. I had such a lot of fun making this video and I’m somewhat surprised I finished in time for the big birthday bash. Good job sitting through the closing credits, LOL! Thanks so much for your super comment!
I had no idea how much I truly missed this blog until now. Love, love, love the birthday video(the end with Darth Vader had me laughing out loud). I feel like it’s a big birthday present to us all. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Holliday
@Holliday: Aw, you’re so sweet to say, thanks! It’s gReAt to be back for the moment. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the surprise ending!
This is absolutely amazing. I spent the last five minutes of Armitage Day watching your video – and boy, what a culmination. I loved the magazine covers, my favourite Guy on a throne, and the bonus Star Wars scene was a fantastic suprise. Fabulous, fabulous gift to the Army. Thanks, bccmee!
@guylty: Good timing, LOL! I spent the last five minutes of Armitage Day sleeping. 😉 Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed comment!
I am late to the party and this is the first thing I’ve today …AND IT’S THE BEST!!!
Lord, how I have missed you! This video rocks my world. I can’t say enough!!!!
@phylly3: Aw, you’re gonna make me blush! Thanks so much for your enthusiastic comment. Thrilled you enjoyed this birthday fanvid!
I’m soo happy that you’re back. And this is brilliant video. As usual. All Your works are fantastic.
Thanks a lot! Regards from Poland. Ella
@Ella: Greetings! I really want to visit Poland someday. I was on the border in the Czech Republic but never made it all the way, LOL! Thanks so much for your lovely comment!
Fantastic! Today I was reading all RA birthday lovely posts and thinking: I wish Bccmee was back today with another wonderful creation of hers! Thank you, dear!
@Fabi: Aw, that’s so kind of you to say. Glad you enjoyed the vid!
Wonderful, what a nice surprise for all of us!
@Ana Cris: It’s lovey to see you again. Thanks for your comment!
Hi, bccmee! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been missing your posts so much. You have no idea how thrilled I felt when I saw your blog’s link in my inbox today, in the morning. I had a pretty busy day so I wasn’t able to watch the video until now. I just loved it. It is very creative! Well done! As it was said before, it is a present to all of us. Thank you so much!!! Take care.
Thais: Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment! Delighted you enjoyed the fanvideo. It means a lot to me. Hope you’re well too!

I was just thinking of you today, and the great video from last year that still sits in my inbox. I watch every once in awhile. It is still RA’s birthday here and so glad I got a chance in my very busy day to watch this great video. You have been missed and hope to see more of you soon.
You know if your an RA admirer if you keep hitting follow to new RA blogs.
@katie70: You’re too kind! Have to be honest, I’m still not sure what the future brings but will keep you posted. Yay, you’re one of the few commenters who answered the question! Yes, following blogs is a good thing, LOL! 😉
Your videos were my doorway into Armitageland last year, when I was just discovering Richard after watching North & South, so I’m so happy to see you back – love this surprise birthday fanvid! Thank you! Even my husband loved it….and I think he’s a closet Armitage Army recruit.
@morrighansmuse: Wow, I’m honored, thank you. And it’s a bonus that your husband enjoyed the video too. That’s quite a thrill and I appreciate you telling me!
Magnifique la vidéo !! très joli montage !!! BRAVO !!
@Alexandr@: You’re very kind to say, thank you!
Fantastic!!! Thank you so much. 🙂
@Mulubinba: Thanks, it’s gReAt to see you again!

@Sapphire: How sweet of you to say. Have to confess, I’ve missed you too!
Great video Bccmee! I did watch it yesterday & meant to comment. Nice to see you back – hope you are well!
@smitkit: Wow, thanks for coming back and taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. I need to catch up with the other birthday videos today because I was too busy yesterday!
SO good to see you back …. 🙂 WONDERFUL video as always ….. just loved it …. thanks 🙂 xx
@harryslass: Aw, I totally appreciate your lovely thoughts! Delighted you enjoyed the video!
I’m so glad you’re back! A wonderful video for a great actor! Thank you!
@mariana: It’s lovely to be back at the moment! Thanks for your sweet comment!
I’ve missed you,Bccmee! Thanks for this lovely surprise, I love it!! I’ve seen your fanvid several times and I’m still giggling like a mad 😀 Thank you ! Joanna Czyz
@Joanna: I’m delighted you enjoyed and endured multiple viewings of the birthday fanvideo! It was a joy to make. Thanks so much for your comment and it’s great to see you again!
YOU’RE BACK!!! (And, boy, do you know how to make an entrance! Terrific video!) Does this mean you’re back on Facebook, too!?!??!? Cheers, Marcia
@Marcia: Such a pleasure to see you! As for facebook, I’m not sure how much I’ll be peeking in, but my account is still active. Thanks so very much for your comment!
Brilliant!!!
@Cassie: Thanks!!
What an amazing video ! We love it ❤ Thank you and congratulations for the amazing job !!
@Richard Armitage France: How lovely of you to say, thank you! I really appreciate all your support!
That was awesome! I loved it. 🙂
@Nat: Hey thanks a lot! 😀
Brilliant! I really enjoyed your video. The Dearth Vader segment at the end cracked me up.
@Astera: I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun it was to make this vid! Thanks so much for your comment!
This is so very impressive. The first time I saw the skyline view window pane’s dance, I was floored. Especially adore the magazine rack of love. (Please let me know if you have blogged that cap or image of it elsewhere *coughs* Tumblr *coughs* Twitter…*clears throat*, excuse me, sorry.) The day it happens, which I sincerely believe will, every magazine stand in Los Angeles will think they got hit by a storm. And I could stare at Sir Guy on the Iron Throne for hours.
@crystalchandlyre: I may have to take you up on your challenge to post some of the graphics from the fanvideo, but it will have to wait for another day. Those new RA pictures you posted are absorbing all my attention!
I’m very thrilled you enjoyed the birthday video. I thank you for taking the time to leave such a generous comment!
Hi Res screen grabs would probably suit. If you post it, I will reblog it – especially the magazine rack of love and Sir Guy owning the Iron Throne.
@chrystalchandylyre: Oh yes, I have those pictures in High-Res. Hope to post them up tomorrow! Thanks. 🙂
BEE! I have missed you!! And I missed Richard birthday too 😦 Thanks God Richard has better fans than me. 🙂
@antoniaromera: Delighted to see you again! *hugs* How are you?
Just busy but I will be back soon. I hope you are being happy while you are far from us. 😉
I have just seen the vid. I love it
@antoniaromera: Yay, I’m delighted you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for stopping back in to let me know. 🙂
You have a fan here, darling! 😉 *mwah*
