When Luke Grimes started on HBO

[Albion Wilde]

Oops — not the same actor. My bad...

[BCable]

If the court can make a baker bake a gay cake, they can force an actor to start smooching another man on “Action!”

[mware]

Well, on the upside, a truly moral actor/actress could just go the “I don’t do sex scenes” route and probably avoid the trap entirely.

Can't recall his name but the guy who was a Sargent in Band of Brothers did exactly that. He seems to be pretty respected.

****What does a “gay” vampire suck?***

Neal McDonough

That's who I was thinking about.

[GeronL]

some of them are going into Scouting probably

[uncitizen]

That’s right!

[wku man]

"he will never find work again"

Not unless/until we create the infrastructure to make movies and TV shows free and clear of the Hollyweird Communist cabal. Same with music. And video games. And professional sports. IOW, unless/until we create a conservative /patriotic pop culture.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Secret Agent Man]

i’d quit.

wonder if they did it to force him out.

[Secret Agent Man]

if vampire shows were “serious” about gays, they’d talk about aids in the blood. how they could tell who was sick and avoid them.

[GeronL]

bump!

[wku man]

Dang! I'm not nearly as good looking as McDonough (who was great in "Band of Brothers" and "Justified", BTW), but I'd be willing to stand in for him to do the sex scene with Virginia Madsen....yeeeeeehaaaaaaw! I've had the hots for her ever since I saw "The Hot Spot" (pun intended).

Of course, I'm not married, either.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[GeronL]

if Vampires were real they would be like intelligent zombies, they are DEAD, they’d probably not be interested in sex.

[Caipirabob]

McDonough is an enjoyable entertainer. Even when he plays a jerk...good stuff.

[Osage Orange]

And this really pissed off the libs too!!

[mware]

Wasn’t he in The Green Mile too???

[DungeonMaster]

Every see James Wood (Republican) in Vampires? “So when I was kicking your ass, did that give you some wood?”. LOL

[shove_it]

He played a Detroit mobster on 'Justified' too ...

[Bratch]

What’s interesting is that the character he portrayed in “Justified”, in addition to being a murderous gangster, was also a sexual sadist that preferred young boys.

But it was all implied; there was no actual physical interaction between the predator/prey.

[shove_it]

Right, I forgot about that.
