He's the man who is currently setting social media alight every Sunday evening - and whose chiselled abs and Mr Darcy smoulder have won him a legion of female fans. But while Aidan Turner was unknown to many prior to his turn as the troubled Ross Poldark in the BBC drama of the same name, the 31-year-old is no stranger to success. Yet although he may look familiar to some, others might find him hard to place - unless you're a fan of fantasy films and supernatural drama that is. Turner plays Ross Poldark who's lost his love, Elizabeth (played by Heida Reed, left) to another man. Irish actor Aidan Turner, who plays dashing Captain Ross Poldark, sets pulses racing on the BBC show. For before donning the tricorn hat and brooding scowl of the landowner who returns to Cornwall to find his true love is engaged to another man, Turner was busy fighting evil in Middle Earth. The 5ft 10in Turner was digitally shrunk for his role as Kili, one of two dwarf brothers who set out alongside Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins in a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy. But with Martin Freeman playing Bilbo Baggins and Richard Armitage's brooding dwarf chieftan stealing all the screen thunder, you might have missed Aidan's fantastical role - had he not also enjoyed a plotline that involved flirting with Tauriel the elf, played by Evangeline Lilly. Action stations: From left, John Callen, Dean O'Gorman, Aidan Turner, William Kircher, James Nesbitt, Adam Brown, Jed Brophy, Peter Hambleton, Ken Stott and Stephen Hunter in a scene from The Hobbit: the Battle of the Five Armies film. He became famous as vampire John Mitchell in the BBC3 supernatural housemates dramedy Being Human. But it seems training to play the warrior dwarf may have helped sculpt the abs that have become famous in their own right. Turner told Empire about the prep needed for the trilogy: 'A lot of going to the gym; a lot of movement classes. Dwarves are just weighed down by everything,' he said. 'They’re not sluggish, they just have this work-horse mentality. When they get going they’re unstoppable.' Turner even popped up in The Tudors in one episode as a richly-dressed character called Bedoli. As John Schofield, Hattie Jacques' lodger and lover, Turner had to don Sixties clothing. Aidan Turner and Dean O'Gorman as brothers Kili and Fili respectively in a scene from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Since graduating from The Gaiety School of Acting in 2004, the Dubliner has enjoyed an eclectic range of parts and notched up a number of award nominations. His career in television began in 2007 when he embraced 16th century-style costume to appear in one episode of the television series The Tudors. More period work was to follow when he was chosen to play pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the six-part BBC series the Desperate Romantics, followed swiftly by appearances as Ruairí McGowan on The Clinic. But Turner finally had a change of pace in 2008 when he was cast as the undead John Mitchell in the supernatural drama Being Human, about a werewolf, vampire and a ghost who share a house. With his hair slicked back, his face deathly pale, an all-black wardrobe and a set of menacing fangs, the actor earned a new army of fans.

Now that he's back in breeches for the BBC remake, Aidan is now appealing to a new class of Poldark fans. Not only are hoards of viewers tuning in to see him and learn of Poldark's adventures for the first time, fans from the original 1975 drama are also turning on their television sets to see how Aidan's portrayal of the charismatic hero differ.

Skriv några höjdpunkter för följande artikel: Han är mannen som för närvarande sätter sociala medier i brand varje söndag kväll - och vars utmejslade abs och Mr Darcy rök har vunnit honom en legion av kvinnliga fans. Men medan Aidan Turner var okänd för många före sin tur som den oroliga Ross Poldark i BBC-dramat med samma namn, är 31-åringen ingen främling till framgång. Men även om han kan se bekant ut för vissa, kan andra finna honom svårplacerad - om du inte är ett fan av fantasyfilmer och övernaturligt drama det vill säga. Turner spelar Ross Poldark som förlorat sin kärlek, Elizabeth (spelad av Heida Reed, vänster) till en annan man. Den irländske skådespelaren Aidan Turner, som spelar käck kapten Ross Poldark, sätter pulslöpning på BBC-showen. För innan han tog på sig trehörningshatten och grubbladen av markägaren som återvänder till Cornwall för att finna att hans sanna kärlek är förlovad med en annan man, var Turner upptagen med att bekämpa ondskan i Mellersta Jorden. 5ft 10in Turner krympte digitalt för sin roll som Kili, en av två dvärgbröder som gav sig ut vid sidan av Thorin Oakensköld och Bilbo Bagger i en strävan att återta Ensamma berget i Peter Jacksons Hobbit-trilogi. Men med Martin Freeman spelar Bilbo Bagger och Richard Armitages grubblande dvärghövding som stjäl all dunder, kan du ha missat Aidans fantastiska roll - om han inte också hade haft en intriglinje som innebar flirta med Tauriel alven, spelad av Evangeline Lilly. Actionstationer: Från vänster, John Callen, Dean O'Gorman, Aidan Turner, William Kircher, James Nesbitt, Adam Brown, Jed Brophy, Peter Hambleton, Ken Stott och Stephen Hunter i en scen från The Hobbit: the Battle of the Five Armies film. Han blev känd som vampyren John Mitchell i BBC3 övernaturliga huskamrater dramedy Being Human. Men det verkar som om träning för att spela krigardvärgen kan ha hjälpt till att skulptera de magmuskler som blivit kända i sin egen rätt. Turner berättade för Empire om förberedelserna inför trilogin: 'Många går till gymmet; många rörelseklasser. Dvärgar är bara nertyngda av allt, sade han. "De är inte tröga, de har bara denna arbetshäst mentalitet. När de kommer igång är de ostoppbara.' Turner dök till och med upp i The Tudors i ett avsnitt som en rikt klädd karaktär vid namn Bedoli. Som John Schofield, Hattie Jacques inneboende och älskare, fick Turner ta på sig sextiotalskläder. Aidan Turner och Dean O'Gorman som bröder Kili respektive Fili i en scen från The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Sedan han tog examen från The Gaiety School of Acting 2004 har Dubliner haft en eklektisk rad delar och notat upp ett antal prisnomineringar. Hans karriär inom TV började 2007 då han anammade dräkt i 1500-talsstil för att framträda i ett avsnitt av TV-serien The Tudors. Mer periodarbete skulle följa när han valdes att spela förrafaelitiska målaren Dante Gabriel Rossetti i den sexdelade BBC-serien The Desperate Romantics, som snabbt följdes av framträdanden som Ruairí McGowan på The Clinic. Men Turner fick till slut ett temposkifte 2008 då han blev kastad som den odöde John Mitchell i det övernaturliga dramat Vara människa, om en varulv, vampyr och ett spöke som delar hus. Med håret tillbakaslickat, ansiktet dödsblekt, en helsvart garderob och en uppsättning hotfulla huggtänder, tjänade skådespelaren en ny armé av fans.

Aidan Turner (andra från höger) dons periodkostym som Dante Gabriel Rossetti i den sexdelade BBC-serien the Desperate Romantics vid sidan av (från vänster) Samuel Barnett som John Millais, Sam Crane som Fred Walters och Rafe Spall som William Holman Hunt. Men för Hattie, 2011 års TV-film om Hattie Jacques liv, återgick Aidan till periodkostym igen - denna gång från sextiotalet - som Carry On-skådespelerskans inneboende och älskare, mittemot Ruth Jones. Nu när han är tillbaka i knäbyxor för BBC:s remake, tilltalar Aidan nu en ny klass av Poldark-fans. Inte nog med att mängder av tittare stämmer in för att se honom och får reda på Poldarks äventyr för första gången, fans från det ursprungliga dramat 1975 slår också på sina TV-apparater för att se hur Aidans skildring av den karismatiske hjälten skiljer sig åt. För första gången kan han ha blivit något av kvinnlig fantasi - snarare än fantasyfilmer. Aidan Turner sätter pulslöpning med sin skildring av den oroliga Ross Poldark i den nya BBC-serien.
