When it comes to his career as an actor, Grant Bowler has led a charmed life. Grant has been exciting our screens for nearly two decades, emerging as an international TV star in that time.



Alexander Ludwig

WHO IS HE?
Canadian actor Alexander Ludwig was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. His father, Harald Horst Ludwig, is Co-Chairman of the Board for Lions Gate Entertainment Corp and his mother, Sharlene, is a former actress. The 19-year old Alexander is the eldest of four children. He has 3 younger siblings that are also in show business: twins, Natalie and Nicholas and sister, Sophie.

"Hemsworth may not be a household surname in Hollywood, let alone elsewhere, but expect that to change, and soon," reports Vanity Fair. "Actor brothers Chris, 26, and Liam, 19, were raised in southern Australia, and grew up fighting like bear cubs. With age they’ve become best friends, though that hasn’t stopped them from maintaining a healthy competition across parallel trajectories as rising young stars. After toiling on the Aussie soap opera Home and Away (where Heath Ledger also earned his stripes), Chris got his first American break when he was cast as Captain Kirk’s doomed father in J. J. Abrams’s Star Trek reboot." Read more at Vanity Fair.

Actor Garrett Hedlund is not a household name, yet. That'll all change next year as he's been cast in the lead of the big Hollywood film, Tron Legacy, which is scheduled for release in 2010. His other high profile roles have been in 2004's Troy (opposite Brad Pitt), Friday Night Lights (with Billy Bob Thornton), and 2005's Four Brothers (opposite Mark Wahlberg).

Agua Caliente, la primera parte

What a hot week it was, on one of my favourite daytime serials, the ABC drama, One Life To Live. Here now, is my account of the hot and the wet highlights:

Let's begin with the Wednesday, August 26th episode. Best scene of the episode was a flagrant rip-off of the famous Hugh Jackman water bucket scene from Hugh's movie, Australia. I hardly minded, however, as the object of the water bucket's affection turned out to be the abs-solutely studly David A. Gregory, who just joined the show as Ford, a reality TV show producer for the inimitable David Vickers Buchanan (Tuc Watkins).

I could see from the get-go that David A. Gregory was a real cutie, but who knew he was going to be given this exciting opportunity to be audience eye candy, lol? And did you see that close up? OMG, those eyes and lips... oh, and that sexy voice, too. Needless to say, Ford's 'scorching' drenching really pegged the ol' hot-o-meter. Special thanks must go to the episode's director and camera operator for lingering on Ford's very enticing abs.

Agua Caliente, la segunda parte

Day Two, Thursday, August 27th, and OLTL is still on a hot streak. I was happy to see a little bit of a carryover scene with my new BBF (that's Best Boyfriend), Ford, aka actor David A. Gregory. He had his shirt back on, but thankfully, he was directed to keep it open to show off those killer abs. But wait, there's more...

On this episode, just prior to Ford's exit from the stable, a jealous Markko Rivera finds his girlfriend, Langston, making goo-goo eyes at the glistening Ford. Showing Langston that he can equally compete for her attentions, Markko proceeds to strip off his shirt (!) and pour water down his slender torso, and we get more gratuitous male eye candy.

The actor who plays Markko, isn't just a pretty face, btw. The Hawaiian-born Jason Tam (pictured above) is a talented musical theatre vet at the still tender age of 27. He's appeared in numerous musical productions, including the 2006 Broadway revival of A Chorus Line, but One Life To Live is his highest profile gig to date.

OLTL, Day Three: "Look at those nipples!"

In addition to being celebrated for his awesome (truly awesome!) abs, hunky actor, Stephen Uppal is best known to TV viewers as Ravi Roy on the popular Brit soap, Hollyoaks. He also appeared in the films: Freight and The History Boys. More hot pics...

David A. Gregory is a very pleasant addition to the canvas of one of my favourite daytime soaps, One Life To Live.. With charm and talent to spare, I found myself asking where he came from. Because there was next to nothing about David online, I had to do extensive research in order to compose the following biography of him. I've also posted a very tongue-in-cheek TV commercial that David did about a year ago for a product called Airborne. In it, he plays Sebastian (pictured above right), a muscular, shirtless romance novel hero-type. Check it out below...enjoy!

I also created this assemblage of pics of David, as Sebastian.

David A. Gregory debuted earlier this month, on one of my favourite soaps, One Life To Live. He was so handsome and obviously talented, that I found myself asking where he came from. There was nothing about David online; I had to do a lot of research in order to compose this biography of him. I've also posted a very tongue-in-cheek TV commercial that David did about a year ago for a product called Airborne. In it, he plays Sebastian, a muscular, shirtless romance novel hero-type.

Shayne Ward is best known for winning the second series of the UK version of X Factor in 2005. The sexy and very photogenic singer has gone on to sell more than two million records worldwide. And, thankfully for us fans, Shayne's often shirtless!

I love the tough guy action hero types that populate the fantasy/sci-fi genres. One actor who caught my eye recently was Noah Danby; he played "the brawn", Connor King, on the Syfy network's short-lived 2007 series, PAINKILLER JANE. At 6 foot 3, this chiseled Canadian hunk is hard not to miss! Danby's past work includes guest spots on QUEER AS FOLK, THE 4400 and STARGATE SG-1.

Handsome 18-year-old actor Cody Linley is currently a contestant on Dancing with The Stars (his partner is pro dancer Julianne Hough). Cody is best known as Jake Ryan from Hannah Montana and as you can see from the pics below he's quite the teen idol!

US Marine Rudy Reyes is probably best known for playing himself in the TV series GENERATION KILL, which aired during the summer of 2008 on HBO. The series was written by David Simon and Ed Burns, the award-winning team who created THE WIRE. Simon and Burns based the show on the book by Evan Wright about his experiences as an embedded reporter covering the first phase of the Iraq War in 2003.

Along with being an actor, Rudy Reyes is a martial arts champion and fitness guru. He's combined his passion for fitness with his personal philosophy to create a program to help others called, HERO LIVING. Rudy told AskMen.com that: "... Essentially, it’s an integration of compound movements with martial-art power and balance... the hero is your birthright!"
