Nice To Meet You Brando Eaton

With appearances in various tv shows and movies I am sure many of you are familiar with actor Brando Eaton. Not sure how this talented guy got by my radar, but it was not until watching season 4 of Dexter on DVD that I was introduced to Brando.



Dexter's forth season was a mixed bag for me. John Lithgow's Trinity Killer was at times terrifying (when introducing his crimes, with his 10 year old kidnap victim and with his family) and at other times cartoonish and over the top (usually in his scenes with Dexter). I love the exploration of relationships in the tv shows I watch and hate saying this but Dexter sometimes needs more action and terror and a bit less relationship exploration, it is getting a tad repetitive.



The introduction of Arthur Mitchell's family was a highpoint of the season. This complex foursome was difficult to watch yet highly entertaining. Brando Eaton played Arthur's son Jonah who is on the verge on pulling away and turning the tables on his father.

24 year old Eaton has been acting on stage since the age of 5. At 18 he left home and put all his energy into carving out a career in Hollywood. He began on television in shows like Bionic Woman, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Journeyman, The Unit and Zoey 101. His looks and talent quickly led to bigger roles in Nip/Tuck, Secret Life Of The American Teenager and Dexter. Eaton's film work has included; Balls Out and Quarantine.

Favorite Pic of the Day for August 27th

Not sure these glasses will stop any passes...
Great new shot of Chris Durrant whom I profiled earlier this week!

Magazine Cover of the Year: Nick Ayler by Richard Gerst

Seriously...Seriously....

I say the year, but this shot, the cover of the new DNA might be the shot of the Decade!!!



Photographer Richard Gerst has outdone himself with his recent work with FH favorite Nick Ayler. Richard has Officially declared this Nick Ayler Weekend so be sure to celebrate by picking up your copy of DNA!

Be sure as well to head over to Class Your Man and give Nick a little love by voting for him. Nick is currently in 5th place, but it should not take long, especially with the DNA cover, for him to shoot to the top!

Flashback of the Day: Dayton Schlosser

The shot below of model Dayton Schlosser is one of my all time favorite photos. Given the attention this shot received, Dayton did not appear to model extensively beyond his work with Abercrombie and Fitch. There was his spread in Out Magazine and a few other campaigns but most of the talk about Dayton at the time was his being an English teacher and how his modeling work would effect his ability to be taken seriously in front of a classroom.



According to Dayton's friend Meg, Dayton left teaching and currently works in MA as a graphic designer. Whatever he is doing, Dayton and his modeling had an impact on my early days surfing the net with his incredible face and body. You can check out more shots of Dayton at my previous post HERE:

Glee: Season 2

The Emmy Awards which air this Sunday are the official start of the new tv season. Not sure about the rest of you but this summer flew by quicker than any I remember. I do love the fall, but as I am still on vacation am not quite ready for summer to end just yet.

Besides the cool weather I am looking forward to new episodes of some of my favorite shows, especially Glee. Here are the cast putting together the official cast shots for season 2.

Season 2 of Glee premiers September 21, 2010 on Fox.







Heather Morris and Mike O'Malley become series regulars.
