Adam Greer is so adorable!!!


I absolutely fell in love with this actor in this film! Why hasn't he done other things? His looks aren't classically (or as I'd put it, "plastically") good looking, but he's totally beautiful none the less, and he can act. (Great bod, too.) He really humanizes this film, even making Matt Letscher's character suddenly seem more human and sympathetic in the scenes they share. Veronica Cartwright is far and away the funniest thing in the film. Give her an award, please! But Adam had my heart from his first shot.

What do you mean Adam Greer's features aren't "classically good looking"? A critic I read said he's "a man so impossibly gorgeous his cheekbones have cheekbones." That's about right. "Impossibly gorgeous." Yum! And he's so good in the film! What's this hot young man up to next???

Handsome, sexy dude. Same mouth as Gael Garcia Bernal, both excellent actors and both handsome and sexy. We should see a lot more of Adam (and Gael); wouldn't seeing both of them in the same film be fun?

Turns out he's not only gorgeous but a talented trained stage actor. He and his brother Matthew Greer got rave reviews playing the Loman brothers in the Minneapolis Guthrie production of Death of a Salesman a couple years back.
Here's his and his brother's bios:

I can understand where one would see the guy as classically good looking or not, but nonetheless, however, we define it, we all agree he is gorgeous. I saw the movie and have googled everything I can find on this guy and can't find much. It is only the beginning of a great career. I swear he reminds of somebody but I can not remember who. A couple of times he reminded me of the hot but not as talented Chris Klein. The scene with him in the while tea shirt standing by the stone haveing a serious tone conversation with his boyfriend is to die for. That body is pure perfection. Who would ever guss we'd get that in a comdey? But I don't want to reduce him to just eye candy, the man is seriously talented. Didn't you just ball when he was gay bashed and how he handled it. Or am I just overly sentimental. Oh call me what you want, but if Bush ever allows it, I am going to marry this guy. Oh, I can dream can't I? Anyone know anything current about him?

He reminds me of Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation).

So many movies, so little time...
