Jonathan Tucker: ACTORS & Skin


'The successes in the entertainment business are like one percent of the iceberg that you see, and the other ninety-nine percent, which is the rejection and the failure and the work and the toil and the sacrifice, is the rest of the iceberg that's below the water'

I think I first saw Jonathan Tucker on screen in 1996's Sleepers.  Tucker played the child version of Tommy, who was played by Billy Crudup as an adult.   Sleepers was a flawed, but hard hitting drama starring Robert Di Niro, Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon and Jason Patric.  I still remember sitting in the theatre watching the film and the emotional punch the movie hit me with.

It wasn't until a few years later that I really noticed Tucker when I headed to Blockbuster one Friday night and rented  the Tucker led comedy 100 Girls. My crush was instant.  Tucker was adorable, and had several shirtless scenes in the 2000 film.

Matt spends the night with a girl in an elevator during power outage in a girls' college dorm. He never sees her. Waking up in the morning, panties are all that's left of her. How does he find her in a building with 100 girls?

I think Tucker's first 'official' nude scene was in The Deep End.  It wasn't much, but there was a brief flash of partial butt in the video sex sequence with Josh Lucas.  Tucker flashed his butt again in the special features of 2003's remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Royal Pains (2011)


Tucker went on to guest star on a string of films and popular television shows in the 2000's. Those who followed his career, saw him grow as an actor and saw him bulk up for roles including hi stint in 2007's The Black Donnelly's . Many remember his tighty whitie scene from that show.  Check out more from Tucker's skin resume in the post below.
