Billy Wirth: The Found Boy

As many times as I've watched The Lost Boys, I can't believe I haven't spotlighted Dwayne, the sexy long haired blood sucker before now.  I'd knew of course of actor Billy Wirth, but  mostly from The Lost Boys and promotional images I'd seen in magazines.  Wirth's career took off in the mid-eighties with a slew of guest shots on television before moving into features.

In addition to The Lost Boys, Wirth also appeared on screen in films including; Boys on the Side, Relax, War Party, It's Just Sex and Venus Rising.  On television, the talented actor appeared on shows including; Charmed, Sex and the City, Summerland, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Major Crimes and Chicago P.D

With his sizzling hot good looks, it's no surprise, Wirth began his career as a model in New York.  Discovered by a photographer while studying at Brown University, Wirth used his early modeling work and headshots after to moving to California to pursue an acting career.

Despite his great looks, and intense sex appeal, Wirth hasn't actually done what I'd consider an actual nude scene.  Although he's appeared in erotic flicks and has done many shirtless and sex scenes, his pants, unfortunately stayed on.

The one exception was a brief (very brief) glimpse of butt crack in 1994's Judicial Consent. (see below) Given the many opportunities Wirth had on film to show a bit more, I have to assume this was a decision he made. I can't believe, especially during the 80's and 90's he would not have been asked.

Judicial Consent (1994)

'Judge Gwen Warwick becomes involved in the murder trial she has been assigned. Her marriage is on the rocks and the murder victim is an old friend, who rumor has it, had an affair with her.'

Red Shoe Diaries (1992)

Before it became a television series, it began as a move in 1992.  Although again, Wirth has several sex scenes, there is really no nudity, just a lot of shirtless scenes.  There is however, an incredibly hot scene between Wirth and David Duchovny.  In a shirtless basketball turned fight scene, there is an aggressive sexual energy between the two actors.

I can't help but think the homoerotic feel as intentional.  The sweaty skin, the bumps and grinds, the music, even the lighting reminded me of a porn sex scene.  Check out the beginning of the scene in the clip below.
