Gage L.: South Dakota wrestler poses in singlets a lot, posts nothing else. But they are really nice singlets, plus n*de guys named Gage

 

Link to the n*de photos

Another day, another Instagram recommendation.  This time it's a guy named Gage, from Kasson, Minnesota, near Rochester in the southeast part of the state.  He doesn't say anything in his tagline except that he's in the class of 2027, so just starting his senior year in college as of this writing. 

He attends the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, where he is on the wrestling team -- go Cornhuskers!

Wait -- also the  University of Minnesota, Minneapolis -- go Golden Gophers?  

 

And now South Dakota State University, Brookings.  Go Jackrabbits?

You fill out those wrestling singlets nicely, buddy, but why do you keep changing schools?

More research reveals that Gage is a high school student being recruited by college teams, where he gets to pose in their singlets.   He chose South Dakota State, where he'll be wrestling (and presumably taking classes) in the fall of 2027.

More Gage singlet photos and a n*de SDSU student are on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

Gage lives in Watertown, South Dakota, a tiny town about 100 miles west of Sioux Falls -- the Minnesota photo must have been for a competition.

He wrestles for Watertown High School -- go Arrows!  And he has gone to the nationals four times, making him one of the greatest high school wrestlers of his generation.

Anton Starkman: I always forget the teencom star's name and show. But he's got a physique, he plays some gay-vague characters, and there are d*cks

  

Link to the n*de dudes

I found this guy on the teen idol website, star of a Nickelodeon show that I'd never heard of.  He's got a muscular physique, and in the photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends, he's at the beach with a dude, and is that a pride pillow?  Certainly worth a profile.  So I checked him on IMDB, then got called away -- and forgot his name and the name of the show.  Wham or Whomp or something?

The only other shows I recalled were The Magical Mystery of something or other and Grey's Anatomy, his last acting role, in 2025.

So I went through the Grey's Anatomy Season 22 cast list on wikipedia and the IMDB, , and the only male actors who looked like my guy were Niko Terho, who has never appeared in a Nickelodeon show

Todd Denson, ditto.

On RG Beefcake and Boyfriends: a n*de dude that Google thinks is Todd Denson, but I'm not sure.

And Micah McNeill, who was in one episode of  ICarly.

Maybe I could find Wham or Whomp or whatever he starred in?

 I checked every Nickelodeon show broadcast during the last 20 years, and the only one close to Wham or Whomp was Warped, with 13 episodes airing between January and April 2022. 

It was a buddy comedy set in a comic book store, with superego Milo (Anton Starkman) butting heads with unrestrained id Ruby.  They both had heterosexual crushes, but not on each other.  Their friend Hurley (Christopher Martinez) worked in the pizza place upstairs.

 

Harrison Xu of the gay movie Extremely Unique Dynamic appeared in two episodes.

Darn, I forgot the name of the show while looking up the supporting cast.   

Anyhow, it appears that Anton Starkman is our guy. 

Repeat:  Anton Starkman, aka Anton Lee Starkman. 

He'd better be worth it.

Anton lists his gender identity and pronouns on the IMDB, but not his orientation.  A good sign.

His on-screen experience begins  with the short Henry (2011): the "bookworm" boy keeps interfering with Mom's dates.  She tries to date four guys, including Jason  Beghle (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

In the short Lucy Falls (2013), a 7-year old small-town girl gets a boyfriend.  Guess who.

Next Anton played a young vampire in six episodes of American Horror Story (2015-16).

The younger brother of a boy with a dead pal in Shovel Buddies (2016).

The young version of Gideon, son of  Beauty and the Beast Belle and Rumpelstiltskin, on two episodes of Once Upon a Time (2017).  As far as I can tell, the older version, played by Giles Matthey, doesn't display any heterosexual interest.

Unprisoned, Season 2: Will Finn finally come out, or stay gay-vague forever? Plus a lot of search engine misdirections

 

Unprisoned, on Hulu, features an elderly man named Edwin, who spends 17 years in prison for cocaine dealing, is released, and has to reconnect with his estranged daughter and 16 year old grandson.  He spends the first season trying to avoid violating the terms of his parole and finding a girlfriend, while the estranged daughter does TED talks about relationships and has relationship problems with her boyfriend. It's heterosexist all the way down, except for the son, Finn, played by Faly Rakotohavana.

Through Season 1, he never expresses any interest in girls, nor do his mom and grandpa ever try to push him into meeting or dating girls.  The lack of expressed heterosexual interest codes him as gay, but it's a very fragile code: showrunners often go through an entire season, or more, with a character that all viewers think is gay, only to give him a girlfriend at the last moment and yell "Fooled you!  Gay people don't exist!" It already happened on Doogie Kamehameha, M.D..  

It could not be more obvious that actor Faly Rakotohavana is gay in real life, but I googled him and "gay" anyway, and got this result:

So the murderous doll has a talk show now? His interviewees are Zackary Arthur and Teo...., not Faly Rakotahavana.

By the way, it looks like he's interview his costars in the Chucky tv series, Zackary Arthur and Teo Briones. 

None of these people is Faly Rakotahavana, either.  The one on the left is Will Smith, and the one on the right, "Uis hth",  would go gay for him. What does that even mean?  Uis is only attracted to women now, but if ___ agrees to date him, he'll change to gay, and only be attracted to men for the rest of his life?

Found him: Louis Smith.  There aren't any shirtless photos of him, except behind paywalls.

Back to Finn: I was fearful of watching Season 2, due to the possibility that they would clobber us with a "Fooled you!" girlfriend.  Especially Episode 2, where "Finn tries to make a friend." 

I clench my teeth and brave through it after the break
