NySocBoy's Beefcake and Buddy-Bonding

Alexander Polinsky: Adam on "Charles in Charge" grows up, models props, goes Furthur. With Andrew Keegan, Julian Sands, and some d*cks

**Link to the n*de dudes**

I get a lot of page views with profiles of former child stars and teen idols who have gone on to a hunk adulthood, so naturally I was drawn to Charles in Charge (1984-1990), with Scott Baio as a college student working as a live-in nanny in...um...a household full of teenage girls far too old for a nanny.

There were boys around, too, but Jonathan Ward and Michael Pearlman from the 1984-85 version can't be found. That leaves Alexander Polinsky, who appeared as Adam Powell in 104 episodes in the second version (1986-90).

The show was focused on Charles, his buddy Buddy (Willie Aames), and the two teenage girls, so Adam didn't get a lot of centrics: he is harassed by a bully, gets a crush on a girl, takes a babysitting job. I recall one episode where Adam has to explain that he doesn't like playing football. He starts off with a list of the sports he does like, lest Charles get the idea that he is a sissy/ gay..

After Charles, the 14-year old had guest spots on Billy (about a Scottish comedian), The New Lassie (about a dog), and Joe's Life (about a stay-at home Dad), and starred in Pumpkin II: Blood Wings (1994): teenagers accidentally unleash an ancient demon, who kills them all except the Final Girl.

In Perfect Fit (2000), Dick (Alex) "turns to murder" to satisfy his girlfriend, a blue jeans devotee.

Former Colt model and soap opera actor Nick Benedict appears as Thomas, one of the jeans donors (n*de photo on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

Since the 2000s, Alex has been involved mostly in his prop modeling and voiceover animation:

Control Freak in Teen Titans

Garrett in Alpha Teens on Machines

Chameleon Boy in Legion of Superheroes.

Jimmy Olsen in Batman: The Brave and the Bold

Unicorns 1 and 2 in Breadwinners

Several characters in Monster High: the Series

He returned to live action for the the anthology movie Locker 13 (2014). In Segment 3, Alex plays a mental patient considers jumping off a building, until the fast-talking Jason Marsden tells him about a club where members bet on when and how people will off themselves.

Ricky Schroder appeared in another segment as a down-and-out boxer who finds sinister gloves that let him win every match -- for a price.

Roger Ebert.com tells us: "Rarely do I find a movie that is so appalling if not outright insulting to all of humanity (and particularly, in this case, womankind) that it gives me a stomach ache, but Locker 13 really put me off my Cobb Salad."

Still, Alex highlights his segment in his acting demo reel.

Below (2026), one of those Netflix one-word titles, is about a sea monster threatening a small fishing village.I went in looking for Newfoundland accents and beefcake, but to my surprise there was a lesbian sister and huge gay-subtext romance.

Scene 1: A motorboat with a nuclear family and an officious bureaucrat, towing a house on a raft! In 1986, the Newfoundland government decided that small villages were too costly to maintain, so they moved the residents to cities -- with their horribly run-down houses.

Uh-oh, the house is stuck! Dad Leo (James Hawksney) goes inside to see what the problem is. Something stares up at him from beneath the floorboards, and drags the whole house under! Son Calvin (Azriel Dalman) has to cut the tow line!

Scene 2: 40 years later, the 50-year old Calvin (former teen idol Josh Hartnett) is living in the coastal town of Snooks Arms. That was the big city? He takes his boat out to gather a chunk of ice about ten feet in diameter. But it's contaminated, so the Blue Ice Vodka Company doesn't want to buy it.

Also, some Portuguese fishermen have gone missing.

Next, the Snooks Arms Resettlement Meeting at Fishermen's Hall. They're still doing that? If you vote in favor of resettlement, the province will provide a fee of $140,000 ($100,000 U.S.). Ruth, Calvin's sister, is against it. They've already been resettled once.

Hey, the lady in charge calls Ruth "my love." A lesbian couple? Now we just need a gay male couple. Don't worry, there's one coming up.

Scene 3: Ocean Science Centre, Seal Cove (in the far west of Newfoundland, about 600 km from St. John's). A barefoot lady heads to the lab, where Scientist Barry is examining a deceased flamingo. The nearest flamingo habitat is in the Caribbean; what was it doing here?

They start to examine it, when she gets a call: Calvin wants to see you.

She is not happy: "I don't have time for your nonsense right now." But he wants to show her the block of ice that Ice Blue Vodka didn't want to buy.

"It stinks of ammonia. Where did you get it?"

"Little Bird Bay." No such place.

"I'll run some tests. It's been a weird summer, with changing ocean currents and migratory patterns. We're expecting a major glacial collapse from Greenland any day now."

"When it collapses, give your friend Calvin a call so I can pick up some ice." I thought she was his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend, but he calls her a "friend." Score!

On his way out, Calvin gets a text: His favorite son, Jay (Rohan Campbell, left), will be meeting his daughter Mary at the airport, so they'll come over on the ferry together.

I'm not sure if Rohan is gay in real life, or has just played gay characters.

Scene 4: Calvin's screw-up son, Wade (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends), zooms a dune buggy with a doll head mascot out of town, blaring punk rock music.

Screw-Up Wade is played by Charlie Heaton, Jonathan Byers on Stranger Things.

So you've got a gay brother in two shows.

Cut to Wade at home, frying bologna and telling an elderly couple, "The Penneys is fishermen all the way back, sure, but it went up the arse 40 years ago, when they forced us to resettle here." I love that Newfie accent.

Problem: The waters on this side of Newfoundland are deadly. His dad and grandpa died in separate boating accidents, and his mom died of cancer from canning fish. Wade turns out to be Calvin's son, so why did he just say that his dad died? Maybe he's adopted?

The elderly man is played by Darrin Baker, backside on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

They're a bed and breakfast couple, hoping to stay for an extra few days. Wade says no problem, "mi casa es su casa."

But Dad Calvin enters and says "Sorry, Wade's brother and sister are coming for a visit -- it's Come Home Year, a province-wide festival, so we won't have room."

Wade glares at him -- they need the money -- so Dad Calvin promises to work something out. Just double up on the bedrooms. Once my Aunt Nora squeezed 12 people into 3 bedrooms and a sofa.

Next Calvin's Sister Ruth comes in to tell Calvin that they've upped the resettlement fee to $140,000, and reduced the percent of villagers who have to agree from 90% to 75%. He is not happy.

Scene 5: Calvin and Sister Ruth head to the ferry to pick up "the youngsters," whom they haven't seen for three years.

Daughter Mary, who is college-aged, introduces her boyfriend, Noah (Caleb Horn, far right).

"Where's my Favorite Son Jay, who was supposed to meet you at the airport?"

"He didn't, and his phone's gone dead." Uh-oh.

They drive home, the hetero couple kissing a few dozen times. When they arrive, Screw-up Wade joins them in his dune buggy.

Daniel Doheny: Alex Strange Gay, a guy chasing a dck, a nde breeder. With some karaoke and an Irish Short Guy

**Link to the n*de dudes**

When not-fully-clothed photos of Daniel Doheny in Breeders appeared online, I figured that he was starring in the tv series about parents who hate their kids. No, that series aired from 2020 to 2023, and this Breeders is from 2026.

Since breeder is gay slang for hetero, could it be a series about a gay guy trapped in the straight world?

No, it's a horror thriller about a straight guy who is kidnapped due to his superior genetic material and told to have babies with a lot of women. He refuses to do the act because of his girlfriend back home, so they force him to submit samples instead.

A big-beneath-the-belt muscleman. I could see how...

Wait -- this is Daniel Doheny. Cute, but he hasn't been to the gym lately, and his dangling bits are rather on the small side. I guess that's the point: he's an unlikely candidate. Maybe they grabbed the wrong guy?

Further research reveals that Daniel is best known for Alex Strangelove (2018): he plays a high schooler who doesn't realize that he's gay until his girlfriend figures it out and finds him a boyfriend.

I stayed far away from that movie, offended by the low-scale homophobia of the title. Not as bad as "an abomination," but I still don' t like gay stuff being slurred as "strange." Why didn't they just come out and title it Alex Gay People Are Deviant?

So Danny Boy is going into this profile with two strikes against him, to use a hetero metaphor.

Question #1: Any other strange guy roles?

Daniel Doheny (the Anglicized form of the Irish Ó Dubhchonna) was born in Vancouver in 1997, and attended Langara College, class of 2012. His on-screen acting career begins in 2012, with some shorts, a guest spot on Supernatural, and Adventures in Public School (2017). He plays Liam Heap (really?), a homeschooled boy who braves a public high school and meets The Girl of His Dreams.

Looks like we get a shirtless shot of Andrew Herr, who would go on to play a "he might be strange" straight dude on Letterkenny.

Next came Alex Gay Stuff is Weird (2018) and The Package (2018): Five friends (Danny, Luke Spencer Roberts, Eduardo Franco, and two girls) go on a camping trip, when Eduardo's character accidentally gets his manitou cut off. It gets a lot of damage in the "race against time" to the hospital, including a scene where one of the guys has to s*ck snake venom out of it. Like gay bedroom stuff, Can you believe that strange guys do that, har har?

I usually post profiles of actors, but occasionally I stumble upon a singer, athlete, or internet celebrity who is too cute/cuddly or hot to pass up. Being gay helps. These are my 18 favorite non-actors, "amateurs" or "civilians." The bodybuilders have their own list.

Most of the last names are omitted, or are pseudonyms to protect their privacy.
