Blast From The Past: Steve Antin

'Pizza delivery boy Gary, loudmouth David and hunky Rick are three high school students out to lose their virginity any way they can. Gary falls for transfer student Karen, who gets involved with Rick.'

I started this post on hunky Rick, (Steve Antin) last July 4th, but ended up shelving it due to room.  Although it doesn't really fit into my theme, holidays, even serious ones, need a bit of fun as well. If you grew up in the 80's or 90's, even if you don't instantly recognize his name, I'm positive you've seen Steve's, (sometimes credited as Steve) work.  

The New York born actor made his feature film debut was in 1982's, The Last American Virgin.  He  followed up with roles in films including; Sweet Sixteen, The Goonies, Survival Quest, It's My Party and The Accused.  On television, Antin had roles on shows including; Silver Spoons, 21 Jump St, Misfits of Science, NYPD Blue and Amazing Stories. 

Since the 2000's, Steve's moved behind the camera as a writer, producer and director.  In addition to directing music videos for Cher and The Pussycat Dolls, Antin also directed Cher in 2010's Burlesque.  Antin also wrote the screenplay.   Currently, Antin is producing, along with Burlesque's Christina Aguilera, a stage version of the 2010 musical hit.

Now, back to Antin's 1982 big screen debut.  I've featured caps from The Last American Virgin previously on the site, usually for a birthday post.  I never featured the full locker room scene though.  I remember seeing the flick on VHS in the late 80's and using the pause button liberally on the 'measuring up' scene.  

The film has many of the usual 80's teen comedy tropes.  The three pizza delivery guys include the teen male friend trifecta.  One is overweight,  (Joe Rubbo) one is a cute geek, ( Lawrence Monoson) and one is, well hunky Rick. (Antin) Their quest to lose their virginity is the focus of the film which includes the locker room scene I referenced.  Check out caps and videos of the scene on the NEXT PAGE HERE:

I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot

 I may not live to see our glory 

But I will gladly join the fight

Seth Stewart

Although I found shirtless and/or nude scenes for most of the original cast of Hamilton, there were a few exceptions.  I still had to include ensemble members Seth Stewart and Austin Smith.  I remember Seth as a standout dancing in Lin-Manuel Miranda's first show In The Heights.   As much as I love Hamilton, I think the soundtrack for In The Heights my inch by and be my favorite of Miranda's soundtracks.
