I was interested in Sage Ftacek, because he plays a gay character in the Thanksgiving romcom Sweethearts (2024). Newly out Palmer (Caleb Hearon) is looking for social contacts at a pre-Thanksgiving party. He is standing in the kitchen.
A blond guy, maybe Kellan (Jake Bongiovi), yells: "Let's roast this sucker!"
Kurt: "Yeah, babe! I'll be right there." He takes a turkey from the refrigerator, and stops to ask Palmer "Do you know anything about cooking?
Palmer "Not really."
He starts to walk away, but realizing that he could be a gay social contact, Palmer stops him: "Wait, Kurt. I'm gay."
Kurt responds with a blank expression: "I'm Kurt."
"I know. We've gone to school together since kindergarten."
"I'm gonna try to cook this turkey on the bonfire."
Later Palmer and Lukas, a gay guy who's interested in him, watch Kurt and his boyfriend rip off their shirts and try to set the turkey on fire.
That's all, just four lines, but look at him. Extraordinary cute.
And at 5'8", a a member of the Short Guy Brigade.
He has a very unusual name -- it's Czech, originally meanng "little bird" -- so he should be easy to track down.
First his Instagram. It says "golf cart dealership, which may be a joke.
Lots of joke pics, like this one of Sage dismantling a mannekin.
A clever way to see three cocks at once.
And a spare butt, which may be his or a friend's.
According to Facebook, Sage grew up in Anoka, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, where his Dad works at CostCo. He has a younger brother, and a relative who got a Ph.D. from Western Michigan University, specializing in transgender literary texts of the 18th century.
Sage graduated from the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists in 2018.
The Rutgers Actors Showcase says that he grew up in Minnesota, "sledding and throwing snowballs," fell into the "skateboarding and graffiti" scene when not taking the bus into Minneapolis for acting lessons, and ended up at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, where he received a BFA in acting. in 2022.
