Link to the n*de dudes

Adam Garcia, born in Australia in 1973, is one of those actors who has been in a lot of movies you've seen, but you still don't recognize him.

Coyote Ugly (2000): The singing, dancing, stripping Love Interest of the aspiring singer.

Riding in Cars with Boys (2001): Drew Barrymore's college-age son, who is transferring to Indiana University to be with his girlfriend and, as a side benefit, ruin Mom's life.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004): The hard-partying rock musician who draws Lindsay Lohan's attention, although she ends up with Eli Marienthal.

Fascination (2004): I didn't actually see this one, reviewed as "F Grade" and "Awful! Awful! Awful!", but I'm including it because Adam shows his backside as he and his girlfriend investigate his mother's suspicious new boyfriend.

Death on the Nile (2022): Syd the Photographer, one of the suspects in Agatha Christie's murder mystery.

The Serpent Queen (2022-24): Sebastio, an artist employed by the young Catherine de Medici (1519-1589) who would marry Henry II and become Queen of France.

Adam has also played a surprising number of gay and gay-ish characters.

Wilde (1997): A rent boy with whom Wilde gets wild (don't worry, he's 24 years old).

I haven't seen any of the others:

A 2010 episode of House, starring Hugh Laurie (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) as the mean-tempered but brilliant doctor: Adam's Ted used to be gay, then got help and turned straight, but now he's relapsing. From what I could tell from the plot synopsis, his gay thoughts are caused by a syndrome that makes his brain swell up and push against his pituitary gland. House fixes it and cures his gayness. That can't be right -- in 2010? Can it?

More after the break

The Britcom Threesome (2011) features three friends coparenting: romantic couple Amy and Mitch, and their "gay" friend Ritchie, who had sex with Amy while drunk, and is the father of her baby. Um...that makes you bi, babe. Adam plays Dave the Builder, who become Ritchie's boyfriend in Season 1, and then is dropped.

Mitch is played by Stephen Wright (n*de photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

Homophobia (2012), a short about a man whose homophobia costs him "the woman he loves," so he has to win her back by confronting his fear. By doing what, exactly? There's no clip or trailer online. Adam was the writer, director, and star.

Gay couple Todd and Raffi (Adam, Christopher Kirby) appear in all ten episodes of the series Camp (2013), about a zany summer camp, even getting married. After a local official begins issuing marriage licenses to gay couples, their adopted daughter convinces them to walk the aisle. The governor steps in and voids the licenses, but the guys marry anyway.

Adam has also performed on the West End and Broadway, in Grease (1993), Saturday Night Fever (1998), On the Town (2005), Kiss Me, Kate (2012), The Exorcist (2017), and Wicked (2021; as Flyero, the witch's boyfriend). He's won two Olivier Awards.

So with all that gay and gay-ish representation, is Adam gay in real life?

No. He dated a number of women before marrying the Woman of His Dreams in 2015. But with his training in dance, he is often mistaken for gay, and says "it doesn't bother me." How magnanimous of you.

He shows his d*ck in an adult video (photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends), but it sort of ruins the aesthetic appeal to realize that there was a lady inside that little black box in the Facetime room.
