Joe Davidson: The gladiator, surfer, soap star, and gator poacher doesn't mind if you check out his d*ck. With bonus Thomas Jane and Takaya

Link to the n*de dudes

In Spartacus: House of Ashur Episode 1.1, Gladiator Logus (Joe Davidson) insults the dwarf trio Brothers Ferox: "My d*ck stands larger threats!" They promptly eviscerate him.

During the filming, Joe hooked up with (or buddied up with) the probably gay Mikey Thompson (Musicus).  Plus a brief internet search revealed this photo from the soap Neighbours: Joe's character apparently has a boyfriend.

Plus there are no girls and a lot of guys on his social media posts.  That's enough for more extensive research to determine if Joe is gay in real life, has played gay characters, or both.  Hopefully both.  

Born around 1992 or 1993, Joe grew up on Australia's ritzy Gold Coast, around Brisbane, and began on-screen acting in some teen series:

A diver in an episode of H2O: Just Add Water (2010), about three teenager girls who turn into mermaids (with Luke Mitchell as their human ally).

A swimmer in SLIDE (2011): A Melbourne girl moves to Brisbane and finds the requisite allies, crushes, and enemies, including a gay-ish boyfriend.

A surfer boy in Mako Mermaids (2013), with those three teenage mermaids up to new antics.  A merman (Chai Hanson) is added to the cast.

Joe also meets a mermaid while grieving over his dead father in Glass Tunnel (2013).  

Plus he worked at Warner Brothers Movie World, a theme park in Queensland, playing characters like Edward Scissorhands and Fred from Scooby Doo.

After graduating from the "prestigious three-year program" at Actors Central Australia in Sydney, Joe was cast in his first major role, playing Cassius Grady in the soap opera Neighbours (2017-2018).   He appears as a muscular mystery man at a Guy Fawkes Day party on the same night that the evil Hamish Roche is murdered.  Hamish's son Tyler is the chief suspect.

Cassius goes on to save Tyler's girlfriend from a capsized boat, start dating her, rescue a kidnapped baby, get a job as a gardener, and finally admit that he was the one who murdered Hamish (gasp) because he is the evil guy's long-estranged son (double gasp). 

Um...Cassius was straight, buddy. 

Maybe there are some gay roles in his later work?

Stranded (2018): A British soldier is stranded with a lady.  They smooch in the water. 

Abandoned (2018).  What do you think?

Sons of Summer (2023):  A surfer brings his buds on a trip to the Gold Coast town where his dad was murdered, and runs afoul of murderous drug dealers.  He's got a girlfriend.

Anyone But You (2023); Ben (Glen Powell) and Bea don't like each other, but Bea's sister is marrying Ben's friend Pete's sister, and for some reason they have to pretend to be a couple at the wedding.  Joe plays the current boyfriend of Ben's ex girlfriend, who dumps him for Bea's ex-boyfriend. It's based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, so you've got to expect some partner switching. 

Joe shows his backside to demonstrate that he's much hotter than Ben.

He shows his d*ck too (after the break).

Finn Kaifur: Icelandic college student studies ballet, joins the hockey team, shows his stuff. With bonus n*de model Shaun Ross

OMG, look at this guy -- he's swimming in an ice-covered lake.  Not just a polar plunge -- he's floating in there.

"Comfort kills your dreams."  But ice water kills your body.

He's Finn B__, originally from Iceland, 19 years old as of this writing. I don't usually post the full name of non-actors, so I'll change his last name to Kaifur, Icelandic slang for "Big D*ck."

Finn notes that growing up, he was subjected to bullying and had few friends, which led to depression and low self-esteem.  He only came out a short time ago.

Wait -- bullied for being gay?  In Iceland?  Are you sure they weren't bullying you because you hang out with your shirt off in sub-zero temperatures?  Not that I'm complaining.

For someone who wants to make friends, Finn doesn't reveal many personal details.  He's attending college in the U.S., but he doesn't say which college.  Or his major.  He posts that he's in love with his philosophy professor, but also does ballet routines.  And he's on the hockey team.

Back home in Iceland, he lived with his grandmother and cat.

In the U.S., he has a dog.

He thinks American guys are handsome.  Dude, I've been to Iceland.  The guys are totally hot, although I actually prefer cut cocks (n*de Icelander on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

His American friend, Thomas, is leaving to join the army, "So I need to spend time together in a way that makes him remember me for a long time."

Be sure to hydrate, guys.

"I've been in two relationships.  Both ended in heartbreak.  Why?"  It's not you, buddy, it's the nature of relationships.

Eight is Enough to fill our lives with schmaltz. But at least Grant Goodeve took his shirt off

Oh we spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes,
If we're ever puzzled by the changing times.
There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill,
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love.

To paraphrase Dorothy Parker, "the theme song marks the first place in Eight is Enough at which Tonstant Weader fwowed up.”

If that's the sort of thing that appeals to you, you probably got all warm and gushy on Wednesday nights during the late 1970s watching Eight is Enough (1977-81).  If you wondered just how much of a day a dime could buy, or your gag reflex set in at the very thought of plates of homemade wishes on the window sill, you turned the channel to hip sitcoms like Good Times, Busting Loose, and The Jeffersons

I never made it through an episode, but everybody knew about every show in those days, so I know that it featured  Tom Bradford (Dick Van Patten), a conservative newspaper columnist who liked to give anti-abortion speeches to captive audiences in elevators.  

Dick Van Patten (1928-2015) was a tv fixture during the 1970s, playing button-down businessmen, kindly country doctors, and snake-oil salesmen on Sanford and Son, The Paul Lynde Show, The Rookies, Adam-12,  Happy Days, One Day at a Time...it would actually be easier to list the programs he wasn't in. 

He belonged to a show biz dynasty, including siblings Joan and Tim, and children Vince (left), Jimmy, and Nels.

Tom and his wives (Diane Hyland, Betty Buckley) had the promised eight children, including five girls (Mary, Joan, Susan, Nancy, Elizabeth) and three boys (David, Tommy, Nicholas).  None were gay of course, although Mary was so butch that her quest for boys seemed ridiculous (she was played by probably gay Lani O'Grady).  

But gay boys who survived the smarm were rewarded by nonstop beefcake.  All of the girls dated hunky boys -- a lot.  Guest hunks included Ralph Macchio, Brian Patrick Clarke (left), Tony O'Dell (Head of the Class), Noah Hathaway, Marc McClure (Superman), even perennial gay fave Don Johnson.  Not to mention Tom's sons.

1. David (Grant Goodeve, top photo and left), a young adult employed in construction.  He achieved some teen idol fame, cutting a few records and enjoying guest shots on Murder, She Wrote, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Northern Exposure.  He also played Steve Carrington's boyfriend on Dynasty.  Today he is involved mostly in live theater.

Angus De Kirkby: Posh femme boy with long legs, a boyfriend, and a lot of furs. But is he a royal, a model, a fashionista, or just rich?

This photo appeared on my Instagram feed with the comment "He's 40 years old already!"  Obviously a gay couple. The guy on the right has a private account, but his diva boyfriend is Angus De Kirkby.

Very skinny and extraordinarily femme.  Dude is all legs.

"The awful period between Christmas and New Year's, when you don't know what to do with yourself."

I disagree. That's the period where you celebrate the end of the dismal melancholia.

He posts photos with both men and women.  This is his "ride or die," but usually I can't tell if they are buddies, romantic partners, or modeling partners.  

Most of his Instagram photos depict him in ridiculously posh outfits, dripping with diamonds, slathered in furs: "You're nobody until PETA hates you."

 And in the most elegant settings imaginable. 

"Paris, je t'aime."  

I agree, but why pose in front of a n*de lady?

How do you rate these costumes and country estates, buddy?  Are you a jetsetting supermodel or Prince William's cousin?  Or both?

We find out after the break
