Hank Strong: Bodybuilder, firefighter, enforcer, leatherman, gay daddy
The Brooklyn-born Hank Strong (Henry Akinsaya) graduated from Xaverian Brothers High School in Westfield, Massachustts in 1998, then studied pre-law at NYU.
He competed in some amateur bodybuilding competitions, worked as a bodyguard, and did some modeling where he had to show his abs.
His acting career began in 2018, when he was cast as Lunkhead, enforcer for the villain Zachary Trumble. in an episode of Gotham (2018).
He appeared in two episodes of Godfather of Harlem as Big Dick Buster. Crime lord Bumpy Johnson, a real figure from the 1960s, keeps "Big Dick" on retainer to rape men who rape black women.
In 2020, Hank played Jericho, a member of Kelvin's God Squad in Righteous Gemstones Season 2. When they threaten Keefe, he defends himself by swatting Jericho's nipple. (Actually a courageous act, since Jericho is nearly a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier than Keefe).
More Hank after the break
Hank moved on to play more enforcers, bodybuilders, and scowling musclemen, notably, the fighter Iron Long on Ray Donovan.
He appeared in two episodes of Godfather of Harlem as Big Dick Buster. Crime lord Bumpy Johnson, a real figure from the 1960s, keeps "Big Dick" on retainer to rape men who rape black women.
As a firefighter in The King of Staten Island, he takes his clothes off, of course, to bond with Pete Davidson.

"Difficult People": Billy pretends to be straight, Julie pretends to be Italian, and the guest star's son takes his shirt off
Yesterday on the treadmill, I watched Difficult People, a two season sitcom about two jerks, the Jewish Julie and the gay Billy (Julie Klausner, Billy Eichner. below). I've had a file of photos for a long time, so why not write a review?
Julie and Billy are trying to break into stand-up comedy as a pair. We only see snippets of their act, but it seems to involve insulting people. Plots often involve pop-culture name dropping or the pairs' crazy relatives. Among the famous guest stars are Amy Sedaris, Lucy Liu, Tina Fey, Mark Consuelos, and Kathy Lee Gifford.
Rounding out the cast are James Urbaniak as Julie's business suit-wearing husband, who works for PBS; Andrea Martin as her yenta mother; and Cole Escola, left, as the swishy queen who works with Billy at his coffee shop gig.
This episode, "Italian Piñata," begins with the pair walking past the Stonewall Tavern, where the Gay Rights Movement began: queens upset over the death of Judy Garland weren't going to take the police harassment anymore, and fought back. The Judy Garland angle has been completely discredited. These were young adults in the 60s. They were into the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, not some singer from their grandparents' generation.
Billy notes that it's National Coming Out Day, when super-hot A-gays who spend the rest of the year snubbing everyone who isn't a Greek god do their public duty by offering to introduce newly-out guys to the culture. It doesn't even matter if they're ugly or have a horrible personality -- or both, like Billy -- if you're newly out, you're in.
Julie Turns Italian: On their way to a horrible party that Julie's husband had to plan for his PBS job, in Hoboken, the pair drops into an Italian meat shop, where some ladies like Julie's jokes about "meat in my mouth." They have big hair, eat everything in sight, carry purses that "fell off a truck," and discuss what they'll do to the penises of boyfriends who betray them. Julie is in love! She announces to her mother and husband that she's coming out -- she now identifies as Italian! The two are horrified.
Mom works as a therapist whose client -- the famous Mink Stole -- has a daughter in a cult. They discuss deprogramming -- kidnapping the brainwashed girl and yelling at her until she "believes what I want her to believe." Mom thinks this would work on Julie.
Billy Turns Straight: Meanwhile, Billy and Julie go to a New Jersey gay bar, where he gets the idea of pretending to come out. He announces that he was straight until today, and Julie is actually his soon-to-be ex-wife. The gay guys, including bartender Pasha Pelosie, left, all want to welcome him into the gay community.

"Warm Bodies": A zombified Nicholas Hoult meets a girl. With Rob Conddrey cock
I'm going to have to stop this "Give me four movies to select from" strategy for Movie Night. Last night my choices were:
Stand by Me: Same-sex love among homophobic kids vanishes when they grow up and get married. Geez.
Bad Hair: A horror movie about hair care products?
All of Us Strangers: Bereaved gay gay falls in love with a ghost? F*k the Sadness.
Warm Bodies. Nicholas Hoult, on the icon, was cute, and how could a movie about zombies go wrong?
A zombie (Nicholas) narrates. He can't remember his name, but later his human girlfriend names him R, as in Romeo or ARRR! His limited cognitive ability means that he doesn't remember what happened, sparing us scenes about the origin of the zombie Apocalypse.
Left: Nicholas butt.
ARRR spends most of his time plodding around the Montreal-Trudeau airport with the other zombies, hanging out with his friend MMM (Rob Conddry) -- all they do is grunt at each other, but isn't that what living guys do, har har -- and filling his airplane-lair with knicknacks that he scavenged.
Next door, behind a wall much too high to be even slightly believable, the humans live in a refugee camp and scrounge for food. Except for the evil President, who lives in a palace.
Some of the town teenagers, including the President's daughter Julie -- Juliet, get it? -- and her boyfried Perry -- go beyond the wall to scrounge for medical supplies, and the zombies attack. ARRR sees Julie, and gets the most exaggeratedly corny "love at first sight" look that they ever taught you not to do in acting school. He notices Perry, and gets rid of the competition by eating him.
But in this world, when you eat someone, even a tiny piece, you absorb their memories. ARRR absorbs Perry's memories, all of which involve Julie: falling in love when they are toddlers, their first kiss, their first sexual experience, their declaration of love, and so on ad infinitum.
Through the entire movie, I thought Perry was being played by Zac Efron. No, it's someone named Dave Franco, who could be Zac's identical twin. Seriously, they look exactly alike.
The other teens just hide until the zombies leave, but ARRR tricks Julie into thinking that he has to save her. He takes her to his airplane, and they proceed to fall in love.
Eventually Julie wants to return to human society, mainly because there's almost nothing left to eat at the airport, so ARRR tries to sneak her out. The other zombies want to attack,but he holds her hand and -- get this -- they instantly calm down. "Oh, you're in love. Why didn't you say so? Even brain-dead zombies understand that heterosexual romance is the most important thing in the universe. Go on through."
