+ Snbrd Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 An 8 part series begins Sunday on Showtime. I viewed a brief trailer and Jon Bernthal seems a far cry from Richard Gere. It will be interesting to see if this version incorporates gay escorting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ azdr0710 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) now 45, he has various looks over the years, of course.....comes off as a bit rough and worn to me, compared to Gere.....but I suppose we shouldn't make the obvious comparisons to the original production and should see how this new one looks on its own....

samhexum Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 He was wrongly imprisoned for 15 years in the show, so he shouldn't look young and beautiful like the former Mr. Cary Lowell did in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Cary Lowell a woman? Mr Gere was in my bother's class at the University of Massachusetts. Stunning good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a former model who played ADA Jamie Ross on Law & Order for a couple of years, then in guest appearances a few times since.

I wonder if the casting director saw this picture of Jon Bernthal (from 2014) - or one like it - in which he looks every bit as hot as Richard Gere at his best, and not unlike him.

Guest MikeThomas Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Watched E1. Thought Bernthal did a great job. However, the show is super creepy. I guess I'm getting old and have less appetite for this sort of thing. Not sure I'll keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Richard Gere in person in a 1979 Broadway show. He is much better looking. RG played a gay character in the play "Bent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Hagen Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I could only see American Gigolo at the houses of friends who had HBO. Richard Gere in that movie absolutely transfixed me as a pre-teen. + BenjaminNicholas, pubic_assistance, + Just Sayin and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Snbrd Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 I guess one can't say only gays make catty comments: Talking about the American Gigolo reboot Monday night at dinner with my spouse and 2 straight couples, one straight guy got a laugh saying, "I'd do Richard Gere in a heartbeat but I'd do Rosie O'Donnell before Jon Bernthal." pubic_assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Snbrd Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Prurient interest led me to watch the second episode. Given the original movie’s appeal to gay audiences, and the storyline opportunities prison presented, I hoped for a little something. All I saw was one incidental dick shot at a pool party. 😞 In fact, asked about whether he did guys, the Julian character replies, ”Not my thing.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
