Favorites Of Favorites: Dave August

I am very happy that next up in the Favorites of Favorites is actor, singer, dancer and model Dave August. I first became aware of Dave from watching some scenes from 'Broadway Bares' a few years ago. Again, I was on the hunt to find out more. Yes, Dave has a smokin bod, but...Dave also has one the most amazing grins. You put that together with his talent as an actor, singer and dancer, and you have something pretty special!

Since first seeing Dave, I have seen him pop up all over the place. From 'Naked Boys Singing', 'The Fancy Boys Follies', Pride Events and of course his work with DMK. Some of you might have seen Dave regionally in productions of The Rocky Horror Show as Rocky, and in The Full Monty as Keno. Dave has also appeared on Saturday Night Live, Guiding Light, All My Children and toured the world as the lead singer with Chippendales. If your in New York, Dave is currently showing it all as Window in the Off-Broadway hit 'Naked Boys Singing'. People who have seen Dave in 'Naked Boys Singing' are as impressed with his acting and lilting tenor voice as they are his looks. With all that, the icing on this cake is that whenever I asked anyone about Dave August, the first thing they talked about was what a wonderful human being Dave August is.
