Unconventional Hunk Of The Day: Gavin Crawford



Many of you might not have heard of Gavin Crawford, but if you are able to get 'Out TV' you might have seen his 'The Gavin Crawford Show' which airs multiple times a week. The show first ran for two seasons on The Comedy Network. I know Gavin from 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' which is a sort of Canadian version of Saturday night live with a focus on news of the day. (You can watch some of 22 Minutes, as I did, on Youtube).

The adorable Crawford is a graduate of the BFA Acting Program at the University of British Columbia. Openly gay, Crawford is one of Canada's best known comedians and has created many much beloved characters. Gavin has previously performed at the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, the Edmonton Comedy Festival, the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival.




Below: Gavin and some of his many characters.



Below: Gavin worked with Andrew Llyod Webber and John Barrowman when he hosted the reality show 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?' the hunt for Maria for the theatrical revival of the "The Sound of Music."

Flashback: First And Last with Dermot Mulroney



The first time I saw Dermot Mulroney on screen was in 1989's 'Survival Quest'. This highly watchable movie also starred Lance Henriksen and the woman who would go on to become Dermot's wife (the very talented, and just as annoying Catherine Keener. The have since divorced). I instantly fell in love with Dermot who played the movie's bad boy turned hero. I thought I remembered a brief flash of Dermot's beautiful behind in this flick jumping into the water but I must have made it up as it was not on my recent rewatching of this movie.






The Last Time I lusted after Dermot on screen was rewatching 'The Family Stone' with my family this past Christmas. I also recently watched 'The Wedding Date' (well...I watched the scene below a few times then pressed eject).
