Leigh McCloskey in Hamburger: The Motion Picture

'Russell Proco has been expelled from several schools for lewd, crude and nude conduct. Busterburger University is his last chance for an education and pleasing his disappointed parents.


I started crushing over actor Leigh McCloskey in the 1990's when I watched repeats of Dallas on the old Nashville Network.  There weren't many young hotties on the show, and the only under 30 actors on the show were usually playing one of Lucy's boyfriends.  As much as I like Leigh, I wasn't a huge fan of his character Mitch.  Mitch had a chip on his shoulder and although the show brought Leigh fame, the writer's really didn't do the actor any favors.

Dallas

Leigh's character Mitch was back and forth on the series a few times, and between his appearances, Leigh made several comedies in the 1980's.  Despite appearances in a few teen sex comedies, we never really got a nude scene.   Leigh is in a 'mooning' scene in 1985's Fraternity Vacation, (which you can see HERE:) but I always wondered if it was Leigh or a body double.

Hamburger: The Motion Picture 

It's tragic that Leigh never showed more in 1986's Hamburger: The Motion Picture.  I recently watched it, and there were so many scenes with missed opportunities!   We do get quite a few shirtless shots, and a hot scene of girl looking down Leigh's boxers, but that's about it.


I do keep meaning to watch Leigh's turn in Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn.  Although Leigh plays a male prostitute, it was a TV movie, so there was no nudity.  I know there's a copy on Youtube, but it's really low quality, and think I'll keep my eye out for a better copy.




Peek-a-boo!
