12 Days: David Marshall Grant in American Flyers


'Two brothers challenge the road. And life itself'


As stated, there isn't really  much nudity in American Flyers, but for me, the nudity is notable.  Actor David Marshall Grant has a brief butt flash at the very beginning of the film.  The scene is notable, as not only is it Grant's only credit nude scene, there are many, who swear there's a frontal.  I included caps and clips from the scene, and you'll have to judge for yourself.  I'm not really sure, but there is something there... just not exactly sure what.


The film also includes a few seconds of the top of Kevin Costner's ass.  After winning a race, with two cowboys on horses, David, (Grant) yanks down his brothers cycling pants as Sarah and Becky, (Rae Dawn Chong & Alexandra Paul) driving behind them, look on and laugh.


I was familiar with Grant's career from the 80's and 90's from his roles on Thirtysomething, Dallas: The Early Years and Air America, Forever Young and And The Band Plays On.  I was also interested in his stage work which included starring along side Richard Gere in the 1985 production of Bent.  Bent revolves around the persecution of gays in Nazi Germany.  Grant also appeared on Broadway in productions of Angels In America in the 1990's


Given his resume featured gay themed projects, it's not surprising that Grant is openly gay and is married to actor KC Reischerl.  The two were married in 2009 and have one child.  Grant continued to work on television and in film throughout the 2000's and 2010's including roles on Dawson's Creek, Law & Order, Alias as well as playing the father of Anne Hathaway's character 2006' s The Devil Wears Prada.


What do you think....   Do you see anything below???


In the late 90's however, Grant began a career as both a writer and producer.  Grant's first play Snakebit, premiered at NYC's Grove Street Playhouse and subsequently transferred to the Century Theatre. The play was nominated for the 1999 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play and was also nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award.  


Grant continued to write for the stage and also for television, including writing episodes of the NBC musical Smash and over 20 episodes of ABC's Brothers & Sisters.  More recently, Grant both wrote and produced for Nashville, Code Black and A Million Little Things.
