DDoM - DeCoteau Dude of the Month

Oskar Rodriguez

Allow me to introduce Oskar Rodriguez. He's a veteran of two of Dave's films from last year, The Invisible Chronicles and The Brotherhood V: Alumni. Besides acting, he's a dancer and model. It's a shame how Dave can only cast all these homely people, doncha think?

WoW - Wallpaper of the Week

Zachary Levi

Alexis Cruz

Both guys in today's post share a birthday on Wednesday.

I thought Zachary Levi (who'll be hitting the big 3-0) was Jewish, which I figured was why I found him so attractive. 'Cause I have a thing for Jewish guys. Or guys I think are Jewish. But his full name is Zachary Levi Pugh, and he's Christian. Which makes him no less cute. He's also another one of those actors who can look very different from role to role. On Chuck, he's got the whole adorkability thing going on. There's lots of good wallpapers of him over at Fanpop.

Alexis Cruz will be 36. He came to my notice as Skaara/Klorel in the Stargate movie and TV series. I didn't realize he played a recurring character on Touched by an Angel. He later became a series regular on Shark. Here's hoping he keeps working.

Flashback

A few months back I discussed Parker, my favorite Hardy Boy. Now it's time for the one who got all the attention, Shaun Cassidy, who's 52 today. I think I liked him more because he was David's than anything else. I bought a couple of his records, as well as some of Andy's. That was one of the bravest things I did. Because, hello, teenage boy in the '70s buying those kind of records. George, one of my best friends back then, didn't like Shaun because he found him "painfully thin". He had a point, which is why I think I liked Parker more.

Shaun gave up acting and the music biz, mostly, by the late '80s. He took a detour to Broadway for a while, then got into producing TV shows. Which is really the smart move, 'cause that's where the money is.
