TV Boyfriends

I’ve made it this far in the ol’ TV Boyfriend blog without a big hiccup.  I mean, you know, I’ve stated my love of all things Wentworth but I’ve done my best to make sure that I have given you a plethora of other men to check out.  And, today is no different.  Brian Kruse….yea, do you know him?

His first role was in 1989 as a student in the TV series TV 101.  He moved on for a made for TV movie Match Point, Highway to Heaven, CBS Schoolbreak Special and An American Summer.   And, if you look hard enough, you will find him in Return to the Blue Lagoon and Bandit but his most notable role…..Leo in Charmed from 1998 to 2006.  He has also been in Jack Rio, Warbirds, The Gods of Circumstance, Desertion, Nowhere to Hide and The Secrets of Valleyoaks Cave.

And, TV, well there’s Walker, Texas Ranger, High Tide, CSI:  Miami, The Closer and Mad Men.  So you see, you’ve probably seen him on the big screen and on the television screen and didn’t even realize it.  Or maybe you did and I was just in the dark all this time.

So People says he is sexy.  I say, he is ok, but I had never heard of him before.  He is a baby by the standards of my age but after I looked at a lot of photos, this dude is hot.  He has played 2 roles on My Network TV’s prime time dramas on Fashion House and American Heiress.  He has also done several independent films including when a Killer Calls, Teenage Drama, Petrified and Robot Battle.

He is a native to Southern California and earned a degree in economics degree from the University of California, San Diego and spent a year working as an economic consultant before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an entertainment career. 

Oh a smart man…whooo hoooo!  As a college student he was even a contestant on the Price is Right and one of his beds was for $1 less than another contestant. 

He has also been seen as Kirby Atwood on the NBC TV series Lipstick Jungle.  Later in 2006, he starred in 3 movies, When a Killer Calls, Petrified and Capturing Q.  He also played Michael Bauer at the House of Gianni which is a fashion house located in Los Angeles.

I guess, all in all, even if he is a youngster, he looks pretty good, there was just so many more obvious choices.

Ok, so he is smart, he has a great body and he is now declared sexy.  My next pick would have been Gary Dourdan from CSI.  I know, I know he is no longer on CSI and his departure wasn’t really pretty, but does that really matter when we are talking about sexy?  I mean, it is hard for me to look at these young guys as sexy but I guess that’s just my problem, eh?

An American actor, born in 1979..whew, these young boys sure look better than I remember them looking when I was 20.  His big break was Jim Halpert on NBC’s The Office.  He attended high school with B.J. Novak who later became his co-star (Ryan Howard) on The Office and a writer and co-producer on the s how. 

Before he went to college, he taught English in Costa Rica.  He then went to Brown University where he graduated in 2001 as a playwright.  He also helped coach youth basketball and then later he attended the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Connecticut.

Believe it or not, his first stage appearance was in a play that was written and cast by B.J. Novak.  I mean, come on, is that just a good part of the world or what?

He spent the summer of 2000 as a script intern on Late Night with Conan O’ Brien and also made appearances on Law & Order:  Criminal Intent, Without a Trace, Ed, American Dad (where he was the voice of a squirrel) and one episode of CSI.

He also starred as Gideon in A New Wave before The Office.  And in 2006 he was Brevin in Smiley Face.  His other supporting roles have included License to Wed, Leatherheads, and Jarhead.

He has been featured in People’s magazines Sexiest Man Alive in 2006.  He narrated a series of commercials for Ask.com and did a commercial for the Apple TV in 2007.  He can also been seen in commercials for Verizon and the Blackberry Storm.  And, if that’s not enough, you can find him in commercials for Best Buy and the Gap.

Well, I know exactly how I missed him.  I don’t watch Stargate SG-1.  Now, my husband watches it a lot but I’m really just not a fan, so I had no clue.  Don’t think it has been all SG for him though, he also auditioned for the role of Shinzon in Star Trek Nemesis and was a fan favorite for Tobin Dax on Star Trek: Enterprise - but no one knows if he was ever approached about the roles.

His list of starring roles is longer than most folks wish lists.  Besides SG, he has most recently been seen in Living Out Loud, The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon, Stargate:  Continuum, Stargate:  The Ark of Truth, Megasnake, Judicial Indiscretion, Under the Mistletoe, as well as guest roles in Burn Notice, Stargate Atlantis, Eureka, 24, CSI: Miami, Andromeda and even way back in 1993 in Highlander. 

Well, it is clear that he shouldn’t have slipped through my slippery little fingers but…alas he did but now, he is here!

YUMMY!

First of all, before I can move on to new and gorgeous men who have managed to hit the airwaves, I have to remind you of the guys I dream about on a nightly basis. 

First and foremost, the TV Boyfriends mascot, Wentworth Miller.

Then, there’s always Shemar Moore is so hot he makes …never mind what he makes me do, but here he is, you tell me..

That’s by far my all time 2 favorites.  There’s plenty plenty more though, just make sure you check out all the links so you don’t miss any…not one.  There’s nothing like some good Eye Candy to keep a girl going, right?

A model, an actor, a producer….this guy is the complete package.  He has modeled for Calvin Klein, American Eagle Outfitters, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Versace and Guess?  His first role acting was in The Rules of Attraction and has been seen in Smallville, CSI: Miami, Law & Order:  SVU, CSI, Now and Again as well as The Big Easy and has produced Recess.  In 2006, DNA Models named him as one of his Top 10 Models.

Now, I don’t recall seeing him on CSI or Law & Order and I’m sure if I had seen the episodes he was in, I’d definitely remember it.  Don’t you think you would remember it?

Channing Matthew Tatum….he was born in Cullman Alabama.  Do you guys realize that he was born less than 70 miles from my home.  He is an actor and former model.  He got his start that way and then branched into acting.  He started in films like Havoc in 2005, Coach Carter in 2005, Supercross in 2005, She’s the Man and then Step Up.  He was also part of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.  All of these were released in 2006.  He even has his own website.  And, trust me when I tell you that visiting Channing Tatum Unwrapped is a great idea.

While living in MIssissippi where he moved when he was six, he participated in football, soccer, track and baseball.  He also performed in martial arts.  He sasy girls were definitely a distraction for him.  He ended up in a private school.  He finished in 1998 and was voted most athletic.  He went to a college in West Virginia on a football scholarship.  He turned it down because he wasn’t interested in the demands that football would place on his time.

He has modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch, Nautica, Dolce & Gabbana, American Eagle Outfitters as well as Pepsi and Mt. Dew.  He became a TV Boyfriend when he appeared in an episode of CSI:  Miami.  You know all those dudes look good don’t you?

Where did he come from and how did he get to be so beautiful?  He was an athlete in high school but had to put his dream of playing professional baseball behind him.  As much as I love a good pretty athelete, I sure am glad that he turned to acting.  He had worked in some children’s theater stuff in New York and by age of 10 he had auditioned for a role in The Cosby Show.  He then ended up in NYPD Blue.  He was in Brooklyn South, Roswell as well as All Souls, Resurrection Boulevard, Felicity and Ryan Caulfied:  Year One.  Later he appeared in The Imposter and he was a major looker in Jennifer Lopez’s video “If You Had My Love”.  He was named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2003 and in People En Espanol magazine’s “25 Most Beautiful People”.  He now divides his time between New York and Los Angeles….

What do you think about him?

I”m not writing much…just looking….as the season enders air…..just watching…

What do you think?

Ok, George Eads is hot, he has an awesome job playing Nick Stokes on CSI.  Here’s the scoop on his character and a few reasons why I think he is a great TV Boyfriend…looks aside, (bahahaha)

He has no distance from his work - ok, maybe that might get in the way of the relationship, but it sure is sexy on him

He loves to be with and around people - wala, that’s me

As a CSI, he is objective, he still has social responsibility but does his job without an agenda.

He loves his family and his family name, but he also wants to be on his own, lay down some roots and establish his own identity. 

His speciality is hair and fiber analysis.

And now, the pictures..

Grissom, Gil Grissom makes the best TV Boyfriend ever.  He is not the best looking man I’ve ever laid eyes on, but his character just makes him a hottie.  Gil Grissom is the one that makes a good TV Boyfriend, not necessarily William Peterson.  Here’s the scoop on the character…

“Gil has spent the last 15 years helping Las Vegas move from #14 to #2 in the US Crime Lab rankings.  He grew up in Marina Del Rey, California.  ………..While others may have a reason for being a CSI, for Grissom the job is not about choice.  Grissom could no more work in another profession than a fish could stop swimming.  CSI is not a job for Grissom, its an expression of who he is as a person, the perfect synthesis of personality and profession.”

“In real life, William Peterson has a distinguished background in film, theater and television.  He has been in Long Gone, The Rat Pack, The Kennedys of Massachusetts which won a Golden Globe Award.  He was born in Evanston, Illinois, and first discoverd acting while on a football scholarship at Idaho State University.  He later studied acting in Spain.”

And the pictures close in on Gil…

look at those blue eyes…

I could go on and on about CSI and its various shows AND its various boyfriends.  Today, I’m going with Gary Dourdan:

He plays Warrick Brown on the orginal CSI.  His character history can be found onCBS’ss site.  But, more interesting than that is his own personal history.  He won a 2002 NAACP Image Award as Best Supporting Actor for his role as Warrick Brown in CSI and was nominated again in 2003 in the Best Actor Category.  He has also been in “Soul Food”, “Muhammad Ali:  King of the World”, “Swift Justice”, “New York Undercover”, “Cold Feet” and “Beggars and Choosers”.  He was born on December 11 in Philadelphia and now lives in Los Angeles.

Now, for the pictures….

AHHHH Pleasant-ness!  Is that a word?
