"The Lake," from Season 2 of American Horror Stories, follows the recent American Horror Story pattern of minimizing or eliminating LGBT representation. In the first scene, three hot guys and three bikini-clad girls are on a boat, discussing how heterosexual they are.
Jake (Bobby Hogan) has a map of the village that was flooded to create their lake, so he and his sister dive down and look for souvenirs. Suddenly a green tendril grabs him and pulls him into the muck. He doesn't appear again, except as a corpse. In fact, none of the cute guys appear again. The story is all about sister Finn and her mother discovering the evil secret of the lake.
Heteronormativity or no, I wanted more than just one scene worth of Bobby Hogan's chest and abs, so I researched him on IMDB and his instagram, looking for beefcake and evidence that he is gay.
Not much biographical information. On his Facebook, he says that he is from St. Louis and Chaminade College Preparatory School and Belmont University in Nashville. Chaminade is Catholic, and Belmont is "Christ-centered," affiliated with the Southern Baptist Church until it broke away in 2007, and intensely homophobic.
Bobby starred in Escape to Margaritaville, Footloose, and Johnny and the Devil's Box, and graduated with a BFA in Musical Theater in 2019.
Wait -- 90% of musical theater guys are gay. How does Belmont even allow a musical theater degree program? Bobby must be gay or gay-friendly, but then why would he choose a homophobic college and listen to rants about how evil he or his fellow drama majors are? I'm confused.
On WeAudition, advertising a service helping you run lines, develop a character, and so on, Bobby states that he moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 2020 to begin his film/tv career. Unfortunately, it was the start of the COVID pandemic, so roles were scarce. He has 10 listins on the IMDB, beginning in 2021 with The Superhero Diaries
He plays a Parody Spiderman in 7 episodess. I watched some clips on Youtube: a date with Harley Quinn, and serenading Wonder Woman. Depressingly heteronormative, but he displays a nice physique and bulge.
Duncan in the 9-1-1 Lone Star episode "Red vs. Blue." It's actually about a cops-firefighter baseball game, not red states vs. blue states.
Marine Recruit #6 in the movie Manifest Evil. The trailer shows a man interacting with two women, yawn.
The American Horror Stories gig.
Trevor Logan on The FBI episode "Fortunate Son." A teen shows up at headquarters with a bag of fentanyl, and wants the gang to find out who killed his father. To meet my n*de dude quota, the RG Beefcake and Boyfriends site has a frontal photo of John Boyd, who plays one of the agents, after the break
A soldier on the NCIS episode "Survival of the Fittest." He is attacked by a genetic weapon.
Cole on SWAT
Joshua in Remy & Arletta, a Christian movie about two girls who are friends (not girlfriends). A Christian movie? Figures.
Two episodes on Chicago PD as Noah Gorman, a teenager who leaves home after his homophobic parents denounce him for being gay. He is kidnapped, but mom and dad don't care, it's what he deserves for turning evil. He is found, badly beaten and traumatized, but won't say who the kidnapper was.
Hank Voight, Jason Beghe, takes him in, since he has nowhere else to go. In the next episode, he is kidnapped again and killed -- not in a hate crime, just a regular serial killer, but still an awful "bury your gays" moment. If you are gay, you must die.
But at least Bobby had no problem with playing a gay character.
I'm posting a shot of Jason Beghe's backside, and some potential Bobby dicks after the break.
One of his fans responded to this photo with "Praise the Lord!" Not a good sign when even your beefcake photos are religious.
Hanging out with male friends in Miami Beach. Bobby comments that they are all "hot emoji."
He plays a guitar in a huge auditorium in St. Louis, celebrates Christmas four times, browses in an interesting bookstore, goes to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Newsies, and On the Town.
And a dick is a dick, whether it's a selfie taken after church...
Or a locker room photo taken by a friend.
