MORE THAN JUST GOOD LOOKS 10 Hot Actors with Talent

we think of o When the most handsome movie stars, we tend to think of old Hollywood — Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, among others. And we remember these actors not only for their looks, but for their great talents. On the following pages, we have put together a list of just a few of today’s actors who, for certain, are just as goodlooking as the stars of yesteryear and, in our opinion, are even more talented. Alas, most prefer the opposite sex, but we’ll let you know which ones are out—and even married. Here, in no particular order, are ten talented actors very much alive and working.

guymagtube

MATTHEW BOMER (top right) Why not start with family? 36 year-old Matt Bomer has been nominated for (and is likely to win) an Emmy for his breakthrough role in “The Normal Heart,” after a career in soap operas, TV dramas, and as one of the dancers in “Magic Mike.” He has a fine singing voice, which will come in handy on stage or on film. But Bomer will once again show his acting ability when he plays Montgomery Clift in a biopic about the tormented gay actor’s life. Bomer is married to publicist Simon Halls and, together, they raise three boys. A long way from his native Texas!

What we think is special: With those piercing blue eyes, Bomer possesses unmistakable “star quality.”

JOHN BARROWMAN (facing page) John Scot Barrowman, MBE, was born in Glasgow and raised in the USA. Since he began his career in musical theatre, he is an accomplished singer, dancer and actor. But it is his role as Jack Harkness in the pop culture hits “Dr. Who” and “Torchwood” that have given him a following. Barrowman was first considered for the TV series “Will and Grace” but was thought to be “too straight” to play Will. He is married to Scott Gill.

What we think is special: Barrowman’s sense of humor can only be described as uninhibited. He sometimes uses it to make a political point, as examplified last week, when he kissed another man on the lips during the live broadcast of the opening ceremonies of the Commonwealth Games in Scotland, while Queen Elizabeth looked on. It was Barrowman’s way of protesting the fact that in 42 member nations of the British Commonwealth, homosexuality is still illegal.

TAYLOR KITSCH (right) With major starring roles under his belt, including as Tim Riggins in “Friday Night Lights,” Canadian born Taylor Kitsch has made the successful transition from Abercombie & Fitch model to acting.

What we think is special: Like his blond heartthrob predecessor Brad Pitt, Kitsch shows remarkable versatility. But he blends into his characters even more— going from the testosterone-driven Chon in “Savages,” to pretty-boy gay Bruce Niles in “The Normal Heart” with chameleon ease. share with us on guymag.net

MORE THAN JUST GOOD LOOKS SHEMAR MOORE (top right) It’s a mystery to us why Shemar Moore is not a major movie star by now. He has certainly paid his dues — after 11 years on the soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” Moore has moved to prime time as Derek Morgan in CBS’s “Criminal Minds,” a long way from being the host of “Soul Train” after a modeling career. In addition to his acting career, Moore makes a good living as a fitness model through fitness magazine editorial layouts and product endorsements (inset from MET-Rx Magazine).

What we think is special: Shemar Moore has a body most men can only wish they had. Combined with his manly good looks and talent, it seems to us he would be a natural as a major action movie hero. It’s about time!

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS (right) Once named by OUT Magazine as the “Hottest Straight Guy We Wish Was Gay,” Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has major movie and TV credits under his belt, including an Emmy win for “Elvis.” Rhys Meyers is best remembered for his role in Woody Allen’s “Match Point,” opposite the equally beautiful Scarlett Johansson.

What we think is special: Perhaps the only person in history known for his philtrum (that groove between the upper lip and the nose), the struggle with drugs and alcohol has taken its toll on Rhys Meyers. But we’re still rooting for him and looking forward to seeing him in “Stonewall,” the much anticipated movie about the 1969 riots.

HENRY CAVILL (top right)

The most famous person since Lily Langtry to have come from the Island of Jersey in the English Channel, Henry Cavill is known as the “Man of Steel,” the highest grossing Superman movie of all time. He will continue to be Superman (inset) for as long as he wants, as well as other roles in movies like “The Immortals.” We’re looking forward to seeing him in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”

What we think is special: In everything he does, whether posing for the cameras or playing Superman, Cavill exudes the quiet confidence of a natural athlete.

DANIEL HENNEY (right) Born in Michigan, Daniel Henney has lived and worked throughout the world as a model and actor. But it was his starring role in the Korean film “Seducing Mr. Perfect” (inset) that won him a following among Asian fans. Henney is beginning to make his mark in American movies like “The Last Stand.”

What we think is special: Henney may well be the long-awaited successor to Cary Grant, as he exudes alarming charm. Photo credits: Man of Steel inset courtesy of Warner Bros.; Seducing Mr. Perfect inset and of Daniel Henney courtesy of KoreanDrama.org share with us on guymag.net

MORE THAN JUST GOOD LOOKS ARJUN GUPTA (top right) At least we have one true Floridian on our list. Arjun Gupta was born in Tampa and moved to New York after graduating from high school. Until then, he had not seen “Nurse Jackie,” the Showtime series that jump started his acting career. To prepare for the role of Sam (inset), he spent a day in the emergency room at Bellevue Hospital. Since “Nurse Jackie,” Gupta has appeared in “Stand Up Guys,” among other movies.

What we think is special: Gupta is young and hot and fun to watch. And if that’s not enough, he spent a year working to help children in Uganda. And, Oh! Those lips!!!

EDUARDO VERÁSTEGUI (front cover and lower right with Haitian child)

If you are impressed by good samaritans, you’ll think Eduardo Verástegui is a saint, which he is… almost. He has given up the life of being a sexy superstar of Mexican telenovelas to being a sexy superstar of the Catholic Church. In between feature films like “Chasing Papi” and “Bella,” he travels to places like Darfur, Haiti and Peru, to help build hospitals and other charitable work. In justifying his support of Propositon 8 in California (which banned same-sex marriage), he explained that he felt the law would not prevent domestic partnerships for gays. It’s a good thing he attends mass every day.

What we think is special: We think of Verástegui as Mother Teresa with an incredibly hot body.

CHRIS PINE (facing page) Chris Pine is Captain Kirk in the latest incarnation of the Star Trek franchise, as well as Jack Ryan in that series.

What we think is special: What can we say about Chris Pine? That all he has to do is stare at us with those magnetic blue eyes and we will obey his commands? Need we state the obvious?

INTERVIEW

How James Magruder Sees It by

GreGG Shapiro

Let Me See It (Triquarterly/Northwestern University Press, 2014), James Magruder’s second book of fiction, following his 2009 novel Sugarless, is a collection of linked stories about gay cousins Tom and Elliott. The ten stories span a 21 year period, from 1971 to 1992, opening with a prologue set in 2008. From gay adolescents (and gay adolescence) to adulthood, Tom and Elliott navigate their distinctive paths, taking them to various locations, eventually coming together in the sexually charged and treacherous NYC of 1985. Magruder is a gifted storyteller and Let Me See It is necessary reading for the way it depicts the past, in all of its brutal and beautiful glory, and connects it to the present. Gregg Shapiro: Let Me See It is a book of linked short stories. Which one of the stories came first? James Magruder: The very first was “Hootchie Mamas.” Second and third were “You’ve Really Learned How” and “Buccellati,” which was originally set in 1983, not 1985. All three were drawn from the same bewildering period of my life--right out of college with a French Lit degree in the Reagan Recession. GS: How and when did you know that these were meant to be linked short stories and not a novel? JM: Several publishing houses thought there was enough similarity in the protagonists (no kidding!) and enough time progression to warrant linkage. Easier said than done, until I hit upon the idea of dividing the stories between first cousins who almost never meet. Linking the stories put extra pressure on me to write a new, final story that culminates, or completes the ideas and themes of the entire collection. That turned out to be the title story. GS: I’m glad you mentioned the title story. There is a wonderful moment at the end of the story that ties in with the title. Was it always your intention for this to occur in the way it does? JM: The final action of that story was a source of discussion among my fictionista friends. Some were for it, and some were against. I think I made the right decision, and it’s gratifying to hear from readers that they understand the context for the title without my spelling it out. Incidentally, the title was

share with us on guymag.net

theguymag

originally to be You’ve Really Learned How. Then I wanted to call it Stiff With History, but my agent and my editor both thought it was overly suggestive. GS: The writing style you used in your first novel Sugarless differs greatly from the one in which you wrote Let Me See It. JM: Sugarless is also highly autobiographical, but I knew I could never complete the novel if I used the ornate style I sometimes lavish on the stories. I was a smarty-pants overachiever in high school, so I purposely made Richard Lahrem an unformed, unexceptional sophomore. It both simplified his voice as the narrator and gave him room to grow into a more unique teenager via his experiences on speech team and his sexual initiation by an older man. From 2003 to 2005, I would write a short story and then a chapter of Sugarless and then another story and then another chapter. When I’d had about half of Sugarless completed, I stopped writing short stories until I finished the novel. Now, as I give readings of Let Me See It, I can hear how much more intricate, for better and for worse, the sentences sound. GS: The main characters of Let Me See It are gay cousins Tom and Elliott. How much of James is in Tom and Elliott? theguymag

guymagtube

JM: James is split between Tom and Elliott. I wasn’t supposed to live this long. In 1991, when the last story is set, I had seventeen T-cells. The only drug for HIV was AZT and statistically speaking, I had about five years left. But in 1996 I became one of the first combination therapy miracles. The cousin who doesn’t survive the plague is the reckless James who should have died; the one left behind is the careful James who survived and flourishes today. The book is as much about my survivor’s guilt for not having been an AIDS warrior as it is about my daddy issues. GS: Is Tom’s involvement in theater an opportunity for you to write about theater, a realm in which you have a lot of personal and professional experience? JM: Yes, although I tried to stay away from the theater as a subject, because Sugarless is so laden with play titles and show albums. When contemplating the linkage, I had “Mistress of the Revels” on hand, and I had to decide whose story it belonged to – Elliott or Tom. It would seem likely for the more flamboyant Elliott to work in a theatre, but putting Tom in this “fish out of water” setting turned out to be more interesting. It forces Tom to come out by committing an act that he’ll always be ashamed of. “Mistress” is the only story in the book that wasn’t published in a journal beforehand. I think it’s because it has a mean ending. On the other hand, it was the story most singled out for praise in Publishers Weekly. GS: There is an amazing line on p. 103, where Elliott says of a friend, “I knew French and a little bit of Italian, but he knew Fortran. Whatever its color, Rob’s parachute had opened.” It’s a line that will speak to an entire generation of readers. Do you feel like those readers are well-represented in contemporary fiction? JM: That’s hard to say. I write what I remember and I am cursed/blessed with my power of memory. We live in a disappointingly youthcentric culture. Gay fifty-somethings looking back, the ones who outwitted the plague, would appear to be less interesting to gay readers – forget general readers – than the latest by the youngest. I got a late start in fiction, but I know I could never have written these stories when those things were happening to Tom and Elliott. I needed twenty years of distance and seasoning. GS: As a writer of that generation, do you consider it one of your duties to write about those people?

share with us on guymag.net

JM: Not especially, although I am contemplating a book of stories about the middleaged bougie gay couples of Baltimore who all live and backbite in the same neighborhood. Michael Carroll, who has a wonderful first collection out now – Little Reef and Other Stories – remarked in a reading that we were doing together in Philadelphia that young queers don’t need to read anymore and so aren’t. Whereas our generation had to find out how to be gay by seeking out titles such as The Front Runner and Dancer from the Dance and Boy’s Own Story, and The Lord Won’t Mind. We didn’t have TV shows and YouTube videos to teach us our culture. GS: On p. 171, there is a moment where Elliott, who has AIDS, is silently judged by his gay cousin Tom, for his past behaviors, his “adventures.” Tom thinks “Look where it had gotten him.” JM: In that final story, confronted with the spectacle of his dying cousin, Tom begins to face the consequences of his life too carefully lived. Elliott appears to have no regrets, which cannot help but irk Tom. Has he made the right choices? Might it be better to go out in a blaze of glory, having lived and traveled and loved and been loved? Isn’t it our human responsibility to drain life to the lees? (What is a lee, by the way?) GS: In addition to being a writer, you are also an educator. What do you like best about teaching? JM: I started teaching late, too. I love turning my whip-smart Swarthmore undergrads onto mind-blowing plays. My graduate fiction students at the University of Baltimore are older, with real-life experience, so I have a great time helping them, often on a microscopic level, to craft and re-craft better, more suspenseful and mindful vessels for their stories. GS: Have you started working on or thinking about your next book project? JM: I have finished – after seventeen years – a novel very dear to my heart. It’s called Love Slaves of Helen Hadley Hall. More overtly comic than Sugarless or Let Me See It, it covers one academic year, 1983-84, at Yale. Wish me luck in selling that. I’ve also begun a series of linked summer stock novellas. I did stock in upstate New York for a part of my twenties, so I’ve been dredging up how much fun I had being on stage back then. Now I’m of an age where I more clearly see the path not taken and I think that if I couldn’t be what I am – whatever that is – I would have loved to have been a Broad-

The Whale o Hoping to reconnect with his long-estranged and sharp tongued teen daughter, an unhappy gay man teaches English composition online while dealing with his familial issues and low self-esteem. At 600 pounds, the lead character is struggling not only with his obesity but also congestive heart failure—a disease that is, for sure, about to kill him. This Off-Broadway play won multiple awards during its run and features an insightful exploration of poignant and contemporary themes. 8 p.m. Gables Stage. 1200 Anastasia Ave. Coral Gables. 33134.

Their fourth album, “Fragile” and subsequent hit single “Roundabout” catapulted them to superstardom both in their home country share with us on guymag.net

England and in the United States. Tonight’s performance will feature both the 1971 album “Fragile” and 1972’s “Close to the Edge” in their entirety. A finale featuring greatest hits and material off of “Heaven and Earth,” the band’s new studio album, close the show. Yes’ most popular tracks include the heavily played “I’ve See All Good People” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” 8 p.m. Hard Rock Live. 5747 Seminole Way. Hollywood. 33314.

Rob Schneider o When not cameo-ing in good friend Adam Sandler’s films, Rob Schneider is creating his own commercially successful if critically panned movies. After art-house flick “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” premiered, Schneider found himself in hot water with both “Los Angeles Times” film critic Patrick Goldstein and the late, great Roger Ebert. Schneider criticized Goldstein’s credentials in panning his film, commenting that Goldstein had never won a Pulitzer and was therefore untrustworthy. This prompted Ebert to famously write in his review of the film, “Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movies sucks.” Despite these critical drubbings, Schneider has amassed modest success and will be performing his stand-up comedy tonight at the Improv. 8 p.m. Fort Lauderdale Improv. 5700 Seminole Way.

During that time, he was featured prominently in the opening sequence of cult David Bowie film “The Hunger.” A subsequent successful solo career followed Bauhaus, in which he became one of the more influential personalities of the burgeoning goth scene. 2014 marks the release of his 10th studio album, “Lion.” 7 p.m. Grand Central. 697 N Miami Ave. Miami. 33136.

Bitchy Bingo o Bingo is already a fairly bitchy pastime. For one, participants buy numerous cards, patiently wait for their numbers to be called, and secretly wish ill will upon all the other players. To add drag queen raunchiness on top of all that competitive spirit only adds to both the drama and the down and dirty bitchiness. Lips has started hosting their own Bitchy Bingo night, alongside a $18.95 pre-fixe dinner. Fort Lauderdale drag queen legends Misty Eyez and Lady Larouge host the evening which promises laughs, entertainment, delicious food, and, for some lucky winners, fabulous prizes. 7 p.m. Lips. 1421 E Oakland Park Blvd. Oakland Park. 33334.

TRAVEL

Five Hidden Hotel Fees and How to Avoid Them by

Rick kaRlin

It never fails. You budget your vacation and then when you go to check out, there are a bunch of hotel fees tacked on to the bill. Hotels collect more than $1 billion in fees and surcharges each year. One way to avoid some charges is to sign up for the hotel’s loyalty program, which should be free. Generally, you’ll get privileges, immediately. Until then, here’s a list of some of the common ones and how to avoid them. Some hotels charge extra for check-in before a certain time. If you arrive early, before checking in, ask if there is an early check-in fee. Instead of checking in, ask if the hotel will store your bags (most will for free) until you do check in. Then go sightseeing or for a meal and check in later. Although the practice is disappearing, some hotels still charge for Wi-Fi, sometimes $10 to $20 per night. Save going on the Internet until you get to a Starbucks or other venue with free Wi-Fi. Oddly, many budget hotels offer free Wi-Fi. We all know that the beverages in minibars are pricey, but you don’t have to sample them for the charges to show up on your bill. Simply moving an item (to store leftovers or chill your own water bottle) in the mini-bar can result in a charge (every item is on a sensor). If you see a charge for something you didn’t consume, tell the hotel clerk that it’s still there and contest the charge. They’ll usually do so immediately. Bottles of water or snacks in the room may appear to be complimentary, but may not be. Ask first, unless you don’t mind paying $5 for a bottle of water. Hotels in major cities often charge anywhere from $25 to $50 a day for parking, so ask when booking your hotel. If so, use Google “parking garage” and the hotel’s address to look for nearby parking garages. Then call to get a price. Also check out the city’s visitor’s bureau or tourism web site, they’ll usually have a list of hotels and indicate what promotions they offer.

services. Often a gratuity is included. Check when booking services to make certain. Of course, in either of these cases, there’s nothing wrong with leaving an additional tip if you feel the service warrants it. Those are the main culprits for additional charges on your bill, but there is a couple more. It’s hard to believe in this day and age that anybody would use the hotel phone, other than to call housekeeping or the front desk. Be aware that if you do, not only do hotels charge for long-distance calls, but also they often make you pay for local calls.

Resorts often charge extra for activities and services. Always ask when you book your room what sorts of fees are charged. Find out whether you’ll have to pay them if you don’t use the services. Some hotels also tack on a gym fee. When you get your bill check to make sure you’re not charged for services you didn’t use. If they do, ask to have the fees removed. With a little due diligence you can easily shave 10-20% off your travel fees. Either pocket the savings or splurge on something you ordinarily wouldn’t!

SCREEN SAVOR

Growing Up by

GreGG Shapiro

Richard Linklater has been what you could call a groundbreaking independent filmmaker for more than 20 years. Beginning with his 1991 feature “Slacker,” in which he not only helped to make the title of the film a part of the mainstream vernacular, Linklater left his mark. With his next films “Dazed and Confused,” “Waking Life,” the gay-themed “Bernie,” and his beloved “Before” series (starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy), Linklater has been steadily working towards Best Director and Best Picture Oscars. He may have finally achieved that goal with “Boyhood” (Cinedigm/IFC). Filmed over the course of 12 years, “Boyhood” clocks in at nearly three hours, but you’d never know it. The inventive and personal portrait of Mason (Ellar Coltrane), from grade-schooler to college freshman, features director Linklater’s daughter Lorelei as Mason’s sister Samantha, Patricia Arquette as Mason’s mother Olivia and Ethan Hawke as Mason’s father Mason Sr. “Boyhood” is such an intimate achievement, that the experiences of Mason’s parents’ divorce, Olivia’s two unsuccessful remarriages, and the boy’s maturation from a kid with a “horseshit attitude” (Olivia’s words) to a philosophical and sensitive young man, feel completely authentic, not dramatized. From bicycles to pick-up trucks, from underage beers to ‘shrooms, from gutter balls to silver medals for photography, from first kisses to future romances, Mason’s boyhood unfolds in ways audiences have never experienced. Linklater has earned the praise that is being heaped on him and now has the difficult task amazing us again with his next project, a challenge he will no doubt meet. “Get On Up” (Universal) is about as nontraditional as a biopic can get. Sure, it employs the usual flashback techniques and also paints a dreary childhood picture (see also “Ray,” “Lady Sings The Blues”) of the film’s subject, James Brown (well-played by Chadwick Boseman), as a way of portraying why he was so

driven to achieve maximum success. But “Get On Up” relies far more on humor and camp than you might expect. That might have something to do with the sensibility of gay actor/director Tate Taylor (“The Help”). Taylor had Brown regularly breaking down the fourth wall, virtually winking and elbowing the audience. It was an unexpected touch that served to humanize the Godfather of Soul. It’s hard to imagine a straight director (ahem, Clint Eastwood) handling the scenes between Brown and Little Richard (Brandon Smith) with such finesse. theguymag

Taylor also wisely included “The Help” cast members Viola Davis (as James’ mother Susie in a performance worthy of a Best Supporting Actress nod from Oscar) and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer (as James’ Aunt Honey, a madam), to play two of the most influential women in Brown’s life. As much a story about one of the most important artists in the history of 20th century music, as it is a portrait of friendships and long-lasting relationships, “Get On Up” allows us to feel empathy for Brown. From his business camaraderie with record exec Ben (Dan share with us on guymag.net

Aykroyd) to his volatile marriage to DeeDee (Jill Scott) and ultimately his fragile devotion to fellow musician Bobby Byrd (Nelsan Ellis, who plays gay LaFayette on “True Blood” and was also in “The Help”), Brown became a better person. Of course, that didn’t stop him from shooting up an office space full of people with a shotgun in 1988 because someone used his bathroom. The only complaint is that “Get On Up” could have been about 30 minutes shorter, which would have made getting on up out of your seat an easier feat after the credits rolled. theguymag

FITNESS

Boot Camp Muscle by Tom

bonanTi

Looking for ways to put some heat under your summer workouts? Need to liven things up and maybe take it to the outdoors? Why not try a boot camp approach? The following regimen is an example of the type of routine our men and women in uniform put their bodies through to stay fit and ready to face daily challenges. Basic maneuvers like these performed one after another in rapid succession, build strength, power, and muscular stamina. Why not give it a try? For an added kick, try it outdoors, but make sure to stay hydrated. After a five-minute series of upper body stretches, begin with 3 sets of eight to twelve pull-ups. Grasp an overhead bar with hands wide apart. Proceed to pull yourself up until the head is above the bar. Pause, and then return to starting position. Take no more than 10 seconds between sets. Keep moving! Next, move on to triceps by performing 3 sets of eight to twelve close grip push ups on the floor. Remember, these are excellent total upper-body exercises, but when you move your arms in closer to the body, palms down, hands almost touching, you are really blasting your triceps. After these, get up and move, pronto! While your triceps are still burning, move on to biceps with stretch cord curls. Grasp both ends of a stretch cord in front of you, with the middle under one foot. Proceed to curl the arms up. Pause, then return to starting position. Perform as many reps as you can (15, 20, 30, etc.) then pause, stretch and do another set to burn those biceps out. Don’t let the grass grow under your feet – keep moving! Next, tackle shoulders with a series of compound movements sure to sculpt deltoids worthy of an incendiary firefighter or sleek Navy Seal. Grasp dumbbells, palms in at sides. Proceed to extend them out until arms are parallel to the floor. Do a set of eight to twelve of these lateral (side) dumbbell raises. Without a break proceed to do a set of eight to twelve alternating front raises. Pause, do another set of lateral raises followed again by alternating front raises. After completing a brief (5-10 minute) run

and a few wind sprints, proceed to take the lower body through a little routine of its own. Begin with barbell front lunges. With a barbell on the upper back, step forward with one leg. Proceed to lunge until the thigh is parallel to the floor. Pause, then return to starting position. Perform 3 sets of eight to twelve alternating reps with each leg. Jump-squats are next. Find a grassy space outside or a large secure mat space if you are indoors. Squat or crouch deeply so that your butt is almost touching the ground, cross your arms across your chest. Proceed to jump up high and forward as explosively as you can. As you land securely on your feet, squat deeply again and jump up high and backward as powerfully as possible. Go back and forth with these for 3 sets of eight to twelve reps. Finish this workout with 3 sets of fifty to one hundred crunches. Make sure to breathe and stay hydrated. You can take breaks between exercises, sets, etc. if necessary, but remember the key is to develop stamina, strength, and endurance all at once. Don’t forget to cool down and stretch when you are through! Remember, fitness is a lifestyle that takes effort and commitment. For more great fitness tips: contact trainertomb@ aol.com.
