Actors that make you watch

[+ harey]

Has anyone mentioned Robert Carlyle? Just because he’s such a good actor, I binge watched the entire run of Once Upon a Time. If RC was an escort, I’d be happily bankrupt.

He was also great in Trainspotting, which also featured two of my other favorites, Ewan McGregor and Kelly McDonald. He popped up again in The Full Monty, where you see more of him as well as many of his co-actors. A gay sub theme appears in The Full Monty tho it does not involve Carlyle.

JAMES WEST (Robert Conrad)! OMG! The best male legs ever on TV! Those tight pants and that incredible ass. Yes, I have to check out Wild Wild West from time to time just to see Mr. Conrad. Yes, David was hot, but I preferred to watch "Where the Action Is" ( I think that's what it was called) on ABC after school When Paul Revere and the Raiders were on with the tight, white pants they wore....especially Paul Revere! Why I didn't realize I was gay back then I'll never know. James west.....ummmmm.

I totally forgot about Ken Olandt! I was just channel surfing and there was Summer School! HAD to try and catch the nightclub scene where Oldandt is stripping for a ladies night crowd. What a hunk!

I saw Darren on stage in NY in "Hedwig and the Angry Itch." He was very good, and sometime almost naked. He should perform on Broadway more often.

 

Saw him at The Pantages in LA. DC was so pretty. Sat in the 4th row. I remember his legs looked yummy. That role is a workout.

He does have a really nice voice (maybe a little more training). Who knew.

It's an athletic role that probably challenges the diaphragm and vocal cords. He is a musical enough guy, but having Hollywood good looks really helps. Might be part of why he played the hunk on Glee. He was next to me exiting the elevator at the John Anson Ford Theatre, right after he'd done Hedwig. Still very svelte then. I was initially stunned by his beauty then quickly realized it was him. So pretty. He was with a nice looking friend as well.

Oh, yes! That is him! He never made it really big in acting though he did several movies. He was in the first Leprechaun movie with Jennifer Anniston. He did lots of bit parts on various TV shows, and even became a regular on a couple. When his career didn't take off he went into producing. I'm really into guys like him. Nice physique and cute as hell boy next door looks.

Darren's a cutie! However, my two favorite Glee hunks are Marshall Williams , and Dean Geyer.

Criss has a serviceable voice, but he really wasn't right for Hedwig. He never disappeared into the character, but it definitely a smart casting move by the producers. It got butts in seats.

 

I admit, I'm completely biased. I've seen John Cameron Mitchell do it several times over the years and as it was his character to begin with, what he does with Hedwig is nothing short of incredible. Not for one second do you think you're seeing a man onstage. His banter. His accent. His ease with an audience. Really impressive.

 

To me, it's the best part of live theatre: Watching a performer make something incredibly tough look incredibly easy.

Like Ethel Merman in "Gypsy."

 

Seriously, I liked Darren Criss in Hedwig. Much better ? than I expected.

The LA Times critic was in love with Darren Criss playing Hedwig, and usually they are really snitty with their reviews, so her review really validated the crowds that flocked to the Pantages to see him.

[gilbert]

I usually make it to Broadway once a year and then see three or four shows each time I'm there. Hedwig was one of those shows I was never really interested in seeing. However, it's probably one of those shows I would have really loved once I saw it. The critics have power and can make or break a show. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part that's the way it is. I think in the beginning Les Miz didn't have the best reviews. I might be wrong, but Seems like Wicked didn't have the best reviews, but it's a juggernaut. Then there's Groundhog Day that got rave reviews and only lasted a few months on Broadway. Funny business.

How could I forget Rex Smith in Pirates of Penzance? Cute face, v shape torso, and best of all his legs and ass defined by the form hugging pants he wears throughout the entire movie. Quite a voice, too. After watching this movie all these years I never noticed his "package". Is it a pants crease on the right side of his groin area that appears throughout the movie, or is he simply "excited" to be singing and dancing with Linda Ronstadt? Either way I have to take the time to watch the movie whenever it's on. Sorry I can't provide a picture.

I echo the Chris Hemsworth fans! Especially his goofy dancing in the end of Ghostbusters!?

Liam too!

And Ryan Reynolds all clean shave face... (FUCK), along with Channing Tatum — and Armie Hammer in the RBG flick about made me cream. Jake Gyl and that grin (SWOON)! I have a thing for Robert Downey Jr., too... his swagger is HOT. If I could get time alone with David Muir or James Longman (fucking dreamy!) or Matt Gutman. Shit - what about Access Hollywood host Scott Evans! Or - Mark Conseulos??? Or...

God, I am so gay.

[gilbert]

Chris Hemsworth...HOT anytime, but his glasses in Ghostbusters make him even more irresistible.

Ryan Reynolds in his Green Lantern tights. Ummmmmm!

I saw both Neil Patrick Harris and Darren Criss play Hedwig on Broadway. Overall, I think Neil did a better job of disappearing into the character. His performance was awesome. But I preferred Darren's performance of the last song of the show which is a more soulful ballad that suited Darren more than Neil (IMHO). I've only seen John Cameron Mitchell in the movie, but I would have loved (LOVED!) to see him in a live theater production.

 

The clip of Darren Criss singing at The Pantages in LA (posted above) doesn't 't do him justice. His Broadway performance sounded much better.

Not to mention the leather chaps, boots and countless scenes that he was shirtless and tied up for some reason or other. I think more than a few people on the creative end of the series were big Tom of Finland fans. I have the whole series on DVDs.

I saw NPH do Hedwig, he was fantastic. 15 years ago in LA I saw Wade McCollum do Hedwig on stage and he was remarkable.

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

Some of the original NYC Hedwigs were legendary. Michael Cerveris was one of them.

 

I remember seeing the show for the first time in 1999. Still in my teens, the show was eye-opening for me. It was still at The Jane. It's also where I first saw Miriam Shor and knew she'd end up doing awesome things.

 

As a side note, Hedwig has a HUGE following in Asia. They love the show.

I saw Cerveris in Fun Home. Didn't realize he was Tommy in the original Broadway cast of Tommy.

I have been recently snagged by the Hallmark Channel. The movies are the kind of feel-good genre that helps me put aside the chaotic negatives that surround us today, AND they are loaded with eye candy, a couple of the more recent ones are Dillon Casey:

and Aaron O'Connell:

I love Hallmark..simple stories...very good looking men
