Stephen Louis Grush: From Pericles to Peter's Militia, with shirtless shots and gay subtext roles in between

 


Link to the n*de photos

 Stephen Louis Grush grew up in New Orleans, and graduated from Roosevelt University in Chicago with a BFA in Theater. He has over 30 credits on the IMDB, often in projects that emphasize gay subtexts, or texts.









In Catch Hell (2014), two toughs (Stephen, Ian Barford) kidnap a Hollywood actor (Ryan Philippe) with the intent of torturing and killing him.  They do a lot of torturing, and a lot of n*de struggling, but Junior (Stephen) also falls in love with him.


In Gracepoint (2014), Stephen plays a plumber's apprentice who may be gay, accused of murdering a small boy.










In a 3-episode story arc on Rectify (2016), focus character Danny (Adan Young) is  living in a halfway house.  His roommate Manny (Stephen) walks around n*ked in front of him; this is particularly upsetting because he was repeatedly r*ped in prison.  But Manny won't stop.  Finally Danny tells the house leader about it, expecting the guy to be kicked out.  Instead, they give him a new roommate.

More after the break





Coincidentally, Gavin Munn made his screen debut in an episode of Rectify, playing a little boy who Danny sees on the beach, causing him to think about a "normal" life, with a heterosexual wife and kids. 

Stephen played Leo, the gas station customer who tries to help a road rage victim, and is murdered for it, in Unhinged, 2020

Logan in The Ravine, 2021, about "an unthinkable tragedy that unravels a close-knit community"


Sci-fi cultist Nick in Night Sky, 2022.

Militia man Jacob in The Righteous Gemstones, 2022

Goat in Fast Charlie, 2023, with Pierce Brosnan as a hitman seeking revenge for the death of a friend.  Straight: he gets a girlfriend.

Not a lot of comedies.  Stephen doesn't really do jokes.


His primary interest in in the theater. He is the artistic director of XIII Pocket, which produces and performs original plays by Chicago-area playwrights.

He frequently appears on the Chicago stage.  His credits include The Seagull, Romeo and Juliet, Pericles, The Tempest, Lifeguard, Sex with Strangers, and The Last of the Boys.

He doesn't have a Facebook, Twitter/X, or active Instagram account, so I can't tell if he's gay or not, but I found a potential d*ck pic
