Robert Louis Stevenson's books are sacred, memories of childhoods past where boys conjured up lavish adventures with each other. Especially Treasure Island, written specifically upon a request from his stepson Lloyd Osbourne that there be "no girls in it." And there aren't, except for Jim Hawkins' mother.
So I was quite disappointed with the German miniseries (2007), in which Jim Hawkins (18-year old Francois Göske) not only does stuff with a lady of the evening, he falls in love with a female stowaway on the ship, Sheila (Diane Willems)!
But at least he showed his backside.
Ok, I thought, but maybe Göske's other work will redeem him. Some gay characters, or some substantial gay subtexts?
His first starring role was in a 2003 remake of the children's classic Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer (The Flying Classroom), set in a boys' school. Only this one had girls -- and he gets a girlfriend.
In French for Beginners (2006), Goeske goes to France as part of a student exchange program. It looks like he has a gay subtext buddy-bond with Lennard Bertzbach, but actually they are partners in crime, dedicated to winning the Girl of His Dreams.
Schlaflos in Schwabing (Sleepless in Schwabing, 2012): Consultant investigates a proposed deal with a Chinese company, and her nephew (Goeske) romances the boss's daughter.
Besser als Nix ("Better than Nothing," 2014): he meets the Girl of his Dreams. At least he shows us his d*ck, which is better than nothing.
Dieter not Unhappy (2017): Goeske is a photographer dealing with "loneliness, unrequited love, and a half-empty double bed." Another dick shot, but he's straight.
On 2011 episode of SOKO Stutgart (2011), Goeske comes out to his father, a conservative politician.
On a 2012 episode of SOKO 511, Goeske is a gay concert pianist who suffers a homophobic attack.
Most recently, Goeske starred in Blutige Anfänger ("Bloody Beginners," but "The Rookies" in English, 2020-24), with cadets at a police academy solving murders and dealing with personal problems. Killian (Goeske) has to deal with his girlfriend's friend being the murder suspense, her having an affair with his buddy, being held hostage, finding out who his biological father is, and falling in love with another girl.
At least he shows his physique, and occasionally his dick. Besser als Nix.

A reviewer suggests that this "charming" movie be used in French language classes. It's not charming when you spent your childhood with the "what girl do you like? What girl? What girl?" interrogation.
Grimm's Finest Fairy Tales: The Farmer's Daughter (2008). I'm not familiar with that particular fairy tale, but I imagine it involves Goeske kissing some girls.
Summertime Blues (2009), based on the juvenile novel by Julia Clarke: Goeske goes to the countryside with his mother, and meets the Girl of His Dreams.
Dornroschen (2009): The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty. Guess who wakes her with a kiss?
More after the break

I'm getting nervous. There must be something. How can you star in over 60 movies and tv shows, and not have a single gay character or any gay subtexts?
An Alamy Stock Photo shows him hugging Rick Okon, who played a trans guy in a gay relationship in Romeos (2011), but Goeske wasn't in that movie.

I knew there had to be some somewhere. But then he lapses into "girls! girls! girls!" again.
