Desmond Chiam: Comic Consideration

'Despite the strong influence of Greek Mythology on Diana's origin, her latest adventure sees Wonder Women in the Norse battleground of Valhalla with the legendary Siegfried as her guide and romantic partner.'

When I was a kid, I wasn't really into comics, especially superhero comics.  Although I loved the odd Archie double digest, the rest sort of blended together.  Recently  however, a post on Twitter had me curious about a recent story, and a recent animated hunk, in the Wonder Woman series.

Many of you may already know Wonder Woman's newest boyfriend, the Norse hero Siegfried with the thick and thirsty thighs.  If you haven't met him yet, let me visually introduce you!  Although the romance may be doomed, it would be nice to see Siegfried show up in one of the upcoming Wonder Woman movies.  Although I love Chris Pine, his character Steve Trevor is a bit of a bore, and a hot hunk might spice up and give energy to the film series.  I enjoyed the first movie, but the second one was hard to get through.  I think a little bit of Siggy could really spice things up!

Part of the post on Twitter was about who could possibly play the sexy Siegfried in a movie.  There were tons of suggestions, but one of the best, and my personal favorites was Australian actor Desmond Chiam.  After he graduated from the University of Melbourne., Chiam originally pursued a career as a lawyer.  Within a few months, he became unsatisfied with his law career and pursued his more creative side with breakdancing and acting.

After a few short films, and an appearance on the Aussie soap Neighbours, Chiam moved to the States and began getting roles on television with appearances on shows including: NCIS: Los Angeles and Bones.  Chiam went on to get regular roles on the series Reef Break as Australian actor best known for his role as Wyatt Cole on Reef Break, General Riga on The Shannara Chronicles and Dovich on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Now Apocalypse

I was first introduced to Chiam through his role as Jethro on the comedy sci-fi series Now Apocalypse.  Given Siegfried was often seen in a loin cloth, Chiam's experience on Now Apocalypse will come in handy.  His character Jethro was put through the ringer, including being sexually assaulted by an alien.  After that, there's not much the DC Universe could throw at the actor that he wouldn't be ready for.
