Supporting Studs: Drew Moerlein


'Is this real?” and “What am I doing up here?” Then I immediately realized that this was the culmination of years of training, work and preparation, and that I was in fact living my dream and performing in one of the coolest and most innovative new shows on Broadway. It was an indelible and wonderful memory.'


His excitement is understandable as American Psycho marked actor Drew Moerlein;s Broadway debut.  Taking on the pivotal role of Paul Owen, (Paul Allen in the film) Paul certainly gets quickly under Patrick's skin.  Although they have last names, like Jared Leto in the movie, Paul's end comes brutally and quickly before the curtain falls on act 1.

'Paul Owen is the golden boy. He is successful, charismatic, generous, funny and admired without breaking a sweat. He is what Patrick Bateman aspires to be. Paul is on the ’80’s fast train like all the financial men of the time, but somehow he always has all the best reservations, business cards and hair styles.'

Drew in V/H/S (2012)

In addition to his work on stage, Moerlein's has appeared in numerous television and film roles.  When I decided to feature Drew in today's themed posts, I didn't think he'd done any nudity, but I was in for a pleasant surprise.   As you can see, Drew has a spectacular strip off and skinny dip in the 2012  horror flick V/H/S.
