Alex Sampson: How does a 22-year old singer/bodybulder bring back West Hollywood memories?. With modern singer cocks

 


Someone named Alex Sampson appeared on the teen idol site with a dozen flexing muscle photos.

Whoa.

I need a hero -- I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
--"Holding Out for a Hero" (1984)











Sampson or Samson is a traditional name for a muscleman.

I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not the way it seems. 
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe that this night will never go

-- "Self Control" (1984)


So who is Alex Sampson?  His tattoo says "The True North, strong and free," so he's Canadian. 

There's nothin' left to talk about
Unless it's horizontally:
Let's get physical, physical
Let me hear your body talk.
-- "Physical" (1981)









And gay, or at least open to gay fans.  An Instagram follower says, "No shirtless gym pics!"  Alex responds, "There are people here, Dave."  

People, not women.  He's aware that gay men are looking at his muscles. 

They say they have to see his real personality
That's alright for them, but  it ain't enough for me
I need what the eyes can see: his anatomy.
I want muscles.
-- "Muscles" (1982)

We've established that you've got muscles, you're Canadian, you heart Korea, and you're gay or gay-positive.  Have you done anything else, like..acting?

Whoops, he's just a singer.  I don't usually profile singers, since I don't listen to music much -- it's too distracting for background noise while doing anything else, except maybe housework and the treadmill at the gym, and then I listen to the songs that were popular during my years in the gay mecca, West Hollywood.  

But how can profiling a guy born in 2004 bring back memories of the 1980s?


Alex was born on January 20th, 2004, in Atikokan, northwestern Ontario, the "canoe capital of Canada."  Very isolated, 2 1/2 hours from Thunder Bay. 

People always told me, 
Be careful what you do, 
Don't go around breakin' young men's hearts.
And Mama always told me,
Be careful who you love,
Be careful who you love...
-- "Billie Jean" (1983)



He knew that he wanted to become a singer from elementary school, when he sang "Gold" by Owl City at a talent show. 

Never heard of them, but the lead singer is Adam Young, left (if it's the right one).  

Maybe he sings off key, but that's alright with me.
'Cause what he does, he does so well,
Makes me wanna yell,
Let's hear it for the boy
-- "Let's Hear it for the Boy" (1984)

He began posting covers on TikTok, and released his first original song in 2019. Several others followed.  In 2023 he signed on with Warner Records, and released several singles.  He was named one of People Magazine's Emerging Artists of the year.

Kelton's Hot/Hung Photos, Part 2: James Dean, Orson Welles, Bamm-Bamm Rubble, and a nude Pontius



This is a collection of cute/cool or hot/humorous photos of actor Kelton Dumont, best known as Pontius in The Righteous Gemstones.  As far as I know, he's over 18 in all but #2.  There are also some photos of his dad James and a few friends. 

1. "Punching or licking.  Your choice."

Am I licking, or are you?







2. Boating at dusk. I like the cityscape in the background.









3. Kelton playing Orson Welles in a Halloween broadcast. Why do you need to be in costume for a radio play?














4. Pontius is interrupted in media res









4. Back to War of the Worlds. Burgers with the cast.











5. A random photo with no connection to anyone in War of the Worlds, especially not the drama major on the left.













 6. James in Red

















More Kelton, and maybe more James, after the break

Oscar Chark: Lots of physique photos and guy-hugging, but has he played gay characters? Or posted dick pics? Or been tied up with Jason Priestley?


The actor bondage site had some rather blurry photos of Jason Priestley and Oscar Chark tied up in an episode of Private Eyes West Coast. I've already seen Jason Priestley's stuff, so I checked Chark: an impressive physique, an unusual name, and an Instagram full of guy-hugging photos.  The dude is begging for a profile.

"Chark" sounds Charn, the dying city of the witch Jadis in The Chronicles of Narnia, but it's actually an English surname derived from the Old French charche (load) or the Old English cierre (bend in a river). 







Jason Priestley is on the far right, in case you haven't seen his butt recently.



The guys Oscar Chark hugs are mostly  co-stars, like Jason Fernandes, Robbie in It's a Wonderful Knife.  It looks like they have a gay or gay-subtext romance. 

Wait -- there's a gay couple in Knife, but these guys both play straight.  Robbie is the boyfriend of focus character Winnie.   Oscar is a guest at his Christmas party, who sneaks out to smooch with his girlfriend, and gets eviscerated by a candy cane ornament.  





This shot looks like Oscar and Rommel Mercado have a gay or gay-subtext romance in More Together (2024), but actually Oscar plays a guy who gets his girlfriend pregnant.  Can't get more heteronormative than that. 

You Are So Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah (2023)?  Two girls are into the same boy, Andy (Dylan Hoffman), so they're not invited to each other's Bat Mitzvahs. Oscar's character is not mentioned in the plot synopsis, but it looks like he hooks up with one of the girls.

Tracker, Episode 1.1, "Klamath Falls" (2024)?  Tracker has to track down a kidnapped boy.  Oscar's character plays his brother: "He woke up, and said he was going to visit his Dad.  His biological Dad."



Let's take another look at Oscar's physique to remind me why I'm profiling this dude.




School Spirits (2025), Episode 3.2:  "Smug Senior"? Not mentioned in the plot synopsis.

The Love Heist (2026): A celebrity stylist and a hotel security guard (Peter Porte) team up to track down a stolen piece of couture, and fall in love.   Oscar plays Devin, his coworker, but I'll bet he's straight by default.

Left: Peter Porte plowing Neal Patrick Harris in Uncoupled.  What guy hasn't fantasized about plowing Neal Patrick Harris?
