Monday's Man: Ramin Karimloo

Did you see the 25th anniversary Les Miserables concert on PBS recently?  If so, you probably swooned over the unbelievably handsome and dynamic man playing Enjolras (pictured above, in red and gold with original cast member Colm Wilkinson).  Who was that gorgeous man?  He was Ramin Karimloo, a rising star of the West End stage.  He was born in Iran, raised in Toronto and is now finding stardom in London.  Watch him below in the Les Mis finale.  He first appears at 1.5, then again at 2.4 when he generously tones it down so as not to upstage the miscast Nick Jonas:


Ramin was cast as the lead in the Phantom sequel, Love Never Dies.  The London production got scathing reviews (although his were positive), but watching this makes me want to see it:


Of course, this picture of Ramin as the Phantom also, shall we say, sparked my interest:



I don't know what the picture below is from or who she is, but I don't really care:
