Magnolia Men

'Sammy's so confused he don't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt.'

Truvy

Steel Magnolias was a female driven play, and a female driven movie.  Given the focus, the male characters, as it should be, were not really fully fleshed out and mostly used for comic relief.   One of my favorites was Sammy Desoto played the talented actor Kevin J. O'Connor.

Kevin J. O'Connor

Sammy was introduced at Shelby's wedding and became the Annelle's (Daryl Hannah) boyfriend.  Sammy also had the distinction of playing the Easter Bunny in the films closing scenes.  Kevin J. O'Conner was fixture in films during the 80's and 90's with notable appearances in films including: Peggy Sue Got Married, Virtuosity, Amistad, Gods & Monsters and The Mummy.  

Although I could not find an 'actual' nude scene, O'Connor did flash a little fanny in 1994's Color of Night. (Below) 

Almost all of the male actors in Steel Magnolias had nude scenes in other projects, except sadly, the late Sam Shephard who played Spud in the film.  The actor who played Spud and Truvy's (Dolly Parton) son however, did have a nude scene I covered previously on the site.  Check out Louie, actor Tom Hodges on FH HERE:

Dylan McDermott

Actor Dylan McDermott had the thankless job of  playing Shelby's (Julia Roberts) husband Jackson in the film.  McDermott did meet Julia Roberts, who he was engaged to for a short period of time until they broke up in 1990.  McDermott's best, and really only, on-screen nudity was his appearance in the first season of American Horror Story. (below)  I'm shocked given the positive reception, that we haven't seen more of Dylan's derrière in other projects. 

'Ouiser I heard you got so screwed up you cut your dog out of your will and had an ungrateful nephew to sleep!'

Drum

Tom Skerritt 

My favorite male character in the film, and my favorite actor in the movie, was Tom Skerritt as Drum.  Skerritt was loveably annoying, and had the best lines, especially aimed at Ouiser.   Skerritt has had several on-screen nude scenes but one of my favorites is from 1992's Poison Ivy. (below)
