Dakota Taylor: Prom kings, soap stars, model, and ghost. Plus Justin Berfield, Justin Kirk, and the problems of searching for Dakota's d*ck pics

Link to the n*de photos

In Ghosts Episode 1.17 (2020), Jay and Samantha, the owners of the heavily-haunted Woodstone Mansion, meet mean girl ghost Stephanie.  In 1987, she and her prom date Tad (Dakota Taylor) were parking on the estate, when a serial killer murdered her. She has unfinished business, so she is stuck there (but only appears once a year, on the anniversary of her death).  We assume that Tad was murdered, too, but went to the afterlife right away.

Until Episode 4.20, when he re-appears as a middle-aged man (played by Justin Kirk, left), using the tragedy in his mayoral campaign: he announces that he bravely tried  to protect Stephanie, but was knocked out.

"Bull hockey!" Stephanie exclaims.  "He ran away like a little coward."

So of course Jay and Sam have to call him out with "I know what you did 37 years ago!"

But some of the other ghosts observed the attack, and corroborate Tad's story.  It turns out that Stephanie just wants to "get even" because Tad started dating her best friend shortly after the murder.  

Dakota Taylor (the teenage Tad) is extremely cute, and a brief internet search revealed this photo of two guys on a date.  He must have played gay  characters.  

Plus there are some very interesting modeling photos (on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).  Maybe there are d*ck shots out there as well.   

Dakota grew up in Grimsby, Ontario, near Niagara Falls.  He graduated from the Blessed Trinity Catholic School in 2017, and then studied at the Toronto Academy of Acting and York University.  His first on-screen roles came in 2017: a World War I soldier in an  episode of Canada: The Story of Us, and a teenage drug addict in an episode of Teens 101. 

He seems to specialize in proms:

Homekilling Queen (2019): Whitney will stop at nothing to be elected Homecoming Queen. Dakota plays a cute boy that she uses to catfish her chief rival, Natasha.

Fear Street: Prom Queen (2021).  Same plot.  Dakota plays the boyfriend of one of the contenders. Dale Whitby plays another.

N*de photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends. 

More after the break. 

Dakota's other work has been in soaps:

Zero Chill (2021), featuring talented but arrogant hockey player Mac (Dakota), who moves from Britain to Canada along with his family, upsetting his figure-skater sister (she had to leave her skating partner back home).  While she tries to find a new partner, Mac rams heads with his teammates and pursues The Girl of His Dreams, who is dying of leukemia.  Well, it's a drama.

Sullivan's Crossing (2023-25), centered on a neurosurgeon who flees from legal trouble in Boston to her home town in Nova Scotia.  She reconnects with her estranged father, makes enemies, negotiates murders, kidnappings, dying people, and dark secrets, and finds love.   Dakota plays Rafe Vardas, a firefighter with an on-off relationship with Syd from the diner. 

Syd is a girl.  In the photo above, Rafe and Cal (Chad Michael Murray) are "talking about women." 

There are no gay characters in either soap, but I posted Chad n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

Dakota states on his Instagram that he got married to a lady in 2023, but since he's played five guys with girlfriends and no gay characters, I sort of assumed that he is straight in real life.   

At least he has impressive abs.

The d*ck shots turned out to be a problem.  No matter how strictly you specify "the male Dakota Taylor's p*nis!", the search reveals dozens of photos of ladies named Dakota Taylor showing their body parts, or in some cases getting with dudes.

Or Justin Berfield from Malcolm in the Middle.  I have no idea what the connection is. 

I tried "Men named Dakota Taylor only! -female -lady -girl  Absolutely no women!", and found one. 

Wait -- the modeling photos show a much more defined physique than the acting and n*de photos.  Could there be two male Dakota Taylors, a model and an actor, about the same age, with nearly identical facial features?

But I only found a resume for one.  Maybe our boy joined a gym.
