Favorite Face of the Day: Holter Graham

'The magnetic Holter Graham...has developed from a nerd into a hunk.'

The New York Post

I'm not sure actor Holter Graham was ever a nerd, but he certainly has grown into a incredibly hot and talented actor. Last week, I re-watched a bit of Maximum Overdrive, a movie I first saw when I was just a kid. The Stephen King flick reminded me of my childhood crush and marked Holter's acting debut as Deke, one of the survivors after a comet caused the earth's machines to turn on, and attempt to kill off the human race.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

After his big screen debut, Holter began working steadily on the big screen including roles in two John Waters flicks, Hairspray (1988) and Cry-Baby. (1990) I remember really crushing in 1996 when seeing him Fly Away Home. Holter was incredibly sexy with his long hair as Barry Strickland, one of the friends helping Jeff Daniels and Anna Paqin to get a flock of Canada Geese on their migration path.

Holter went on to appear on film, as well as appearances on television in shows including roles on Damages, Law & Order, Rescue Me and Army Wives. Although Holter continues to work steadily as an actor, he has also made a name for himself, a big name, as a audio book reader. Holter has been the voice of many successful audio books by authors like Nicholas Sparks and Maximum Overdrive author Stephen King. One of his biggest sellers thus far has to be last year's Fire & Fury by Michael Wolff.

Fly Away Home (1996)

In 2010, Holter was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Holter documented his journey through the disease, and his successful bone marrow transplant in an incredible blog diary entitled I have cancer; what's your excuse?. Through the diary, Holter shows he is also a gripping writer his honest and raw account of his experience. The image above comes from Craig LaCourt for Holter's On the Real appearance. As you can see from one of Holter's latest headshots below, Holter is looking both healthy and incredibly sexy.

Spin the Bottle (2000)

I think Holter's only nude scenes were in the 2000 film, Spin The Bottle. In the film Jonah brings 4 childhood friends together he has not seen in over a decade. His goal isn't to reunite, but to get revenge and a game of spin the bottle leads Jonah to hook up and have sex with two of the friends, one female and one male.

Holter has quick butt flash as he jumps in the water in a love scene with Ted, played by the adorable Michael Riggs. I could not find a copy of the film to buy, but a 'so so' copy is available on Youtube HERE: Riggs also has a brief butt flash when he goes skinning dipping near the beginning of the film. The film was a bit drawn out, but Holter made it easy to see why the friends were so drawn to Jonah.
