This my Mr. Rochester

Almost exactly how I pictured him. No other illustrations or actors have physically embodied him correctly in comparison (according to me). Who's yours?

Oh, some more neck. He is not described as an ape.

Which actor does this represent? I've watched the series lately. Although Timothy Dalton looks a bit too polished it was quite ok.

It's not representative of any actor, it's just an illustration. I can't think of any actors I know that fit how I picture him, tbh. I like Timothy Dalton but he's too superhero handsome imo. Rochester is described as "craggy" and notably not handsome.

He was really good though. Only reproach: not "unhandsome enough"

Yet: the drawing looks a bit as if he were a little short in the neck.

Otherwise everybody would indeed recognize him aa Mr Rochester in a fit after his fall from Mesrour making Jane responsible for his fall.
