In the season finale of Rooster, acerbic college writer-in-residence Greg (Steve Carell) tells his students about the movie It's a Wonderful Life (1946), where Clarence the Angel convinces a down-and-out dude not to off himself. They're confused by the line: "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings." What if you're in an arcade, with bells ringing all the time? You'd have a surplus of angels.
The guys decide to make some wings to wear at Greg's end-of-semester party. Spooner shows off his while shirtless. Hot twink physique with some delt and bicep development.
Spooner has been basically a background player, a member of gay-subtext Tommy's friend group with a salacious name. His scenes consist mostly of buddy-bonding with George or J.D. But that unexpected shirtless shot was stunning, in a series that has been skimpy with beefcake, so I wanted to do a profile of actor Evan Jachelski.
Evan was born in September 2003, and grew up in Hanover, Pennsylvania, a rural community about an hour north of Baltimore. He is close enough to his Polish heritage to know some slang terms: badooshk, asshole; kutas, cock; chuj, cock; palka, big cock.
Apparently he needs to describe his cock quite often.
He attended South West High School, where he played football, and trained with the Baltimore Improv Group.
He graduated in 2022, and moved to Los Angeles to become an actor, starting with commercials for Peloton exercise equipment (playing a buffed sufer) and Reebok shoes.
In a 2023 episode of Dave: the mild-mannered wannabe rapper (Dave Burd) returns to Philadelphia to look up the childhood Girl of His Dreams, who stuck him in the friend zone. He's homophobic, referring to the jock who won her as a c*cksucker, but also into guys, at least according to some photos that show him rimming.
Evan played "Matt's Replacement," presumably someone who took over for Dave's roommate / manager, Matt (Andrew Santino, left). But I couldn't find him in the episode. Maybe he wasn't blond.
For a more serious artistic turn, Evan starred in The Red Market (2024), a short that made the film festival circuit and won some awards. Drowning in debt, Zephyr (Evan) contacts a secret organization to sell his body parts.
Gay actor Ramiro Leal plays the mad doctor, and Maddox Anaya (gay) and Ryan Rathburn (unknown, left) play shirtless hunks. Actually, from what I can tell from the teaser, it's all shirtless hunks.
More after the break
In 2025, Evan and Maddox Amaya from The Red Market wrote , directed, and starred in the short Doughp, playing two teenagers who discover that the pizza place where they have summer jobs is actually a front for drug running. It's a comedy.
In a 2026 episode of Ted,1990s high schooler John (Max Burkholder) complains to his talking teddy bear classmate that he's the last single guy left at school. Everybody else has someone, even the gay kids. Ted argues that there are several single girls left. He points out one talking to her friend group, including Evan.
Ted: "She may be getting tired of guys with confidence, chiseled jaws, and huge cocks."
I know it's a heteronormative exchange, but I'm stuck on the huge cock. Even with the silly hairstyle.
The guys try to become popular by auditioning for the school play, Camelot When they loudly announce that they have been cast as Guard 1 and Guard 2, the football players are outraged. But instead of getting beat up, they get a heart to heart: "It's ok to be involved in the theater, but don't flaunt it. Public display of artistic interest makes us uncomfortable. This school should be a safe place for everyone."
Evan just has a nonspeaking role, but isn't the parody of the homophobic "it's ok to be gay, but don't flaunt it" argument worth the effort?
Then came Rooster, which is getting Evan a lot of home town press and accolades. It's been renewed for a second season, so maybe Spooner will have a bigger part to play next time around.
Checking Evan's social media, I find no girl-hugging and only a few guy-hugging photos. Mostly he's pictured in groups. But he's got some femme poses, some roles with gay co-stars, and just one specifically hetero character, Spooner (and that's limited to a reference about his dad's new wife being hot).
I'm going to go with "probably gay."
The Four Seasons: Elitist New Yorkers discuss True Love, with a gay couple, a lumberjack, Vivaldi, and...Steve Carrell (or it might be Carell or Carrel, who knows?).
