Guy's ToC is evident as he presents Marian with her betrothal ring.
- Lucas’s ToC appears as he waits and wonders if his telephone ruse with the terrorists will work.
Presenting the Tongue of Concentration or ToC . . . one of Mr. A’s most appealing mannerisms, seen both in real life and with his characters. We wonder, did young Richard stick out his tongue in such a way whilst learning his multiplication tables or how to tie his shoelaces?
A mischievous Richard shows a Tongue of Concentration (if not his Lucas tattoos) to his interviewer.
No doubt lothario Lee shows a lot of tongue and a little of everything else to the ladies. The problem is, can you trust a single thing he says with it?
Guy has just heard proof of his sister's duplicity and debates his next move.

TOC is simply irresistible!!
It leads one’s mind in very interesting directions. I find the ToC both endearing and enticing.
It’s a very good question. Did he stick out his tongue when ….. he …. ? Wow I do not dare to say ! I’ll sleep well tonight and have sweet dreams. Thank you Mr. A.
It’s good to dream about lovely things. (sigh)
His tongue is cute! Can a tongue be cute? But of course, if it belongs to RA! 🙂 And that interview, he was definitely in a flirty-girty mode, that’s his “come and find out” look if I’m not mistaken! No wonder the poor woman dropped all her papers!
We don’t get to see him in flirty-girty mode a lot and it’s really charming. And I could easily see how any female with a pulse could be distracted by Richard on a charm offensive! 😀
He’s absolutely mesmerizing when he’s on a charm offensive!
Absolutely!!! The man could charm anything and anybody if he chose to, I think.
Hard to believe he needs a chat-up line as one of the commenters said on YT.
Frankly, if he just walked up, smiled and looked into your eyes, I think you’d be a goner. If he also spoke, well–you’d probably have to be picked up off the floor.
And if he called me “my dear delight” I’d die on the spot and go straight to Heaven! 🙂
😀
I think this is one of his most adorable quirks! However, on occasion I think, “somebody get the man some chapstick!”
His lips look pretty soft most of the time (not that I *ahem* notice, of course) so I bet he may do what my hubby does, and keep a Chapstick in his pocket and beside the bed. (I like a man who is always ready for a kiss 😉 )
On one hand I agree that his tongue is both endearing and enticing. However, my brother does that same thing so sometimes it’s just endearing!
Awwwwwww. That is sweet! 😀
What a great topic, fedoralady!! I’m more than willing to talk about his ToC at any time!!! I think it is one of his most adorable and yes, enticing mannerisms and I’m very happy to concentrate on it!! 🙂 I’m always drawn to it and can’t begin to imagine what it would be like to see him do that in RL!! How lucky are those women he has “locked lips” with!! We can only dream!!!!!!!!!! 😀 “Melts into a puddle*
Actually, your mention of a tongue video/slideshow made me go back and look up my folder of tongue piccies, from which I picked these. I think I would squee like a ridiculously excited girl if I saw him do the ToC in person. He would think me quite mad.
These pictures are perfection. Gets me to thinking about a lot of things. Truly has an “armitage effect” on me!:)
It is amazing how a few photos of this man can set off so many emotions and ideas and thoughts in us, isn’t it? *sigh*
I imagine the man balancing his checkbook and sigh with delight…
Awwwwwwww. A sweet image.
