Righteous Gemstones Episode 4.1, the short film about great-grandpa Elijah Gemstone (Bradley Cooper) grifting and murdering his way through the Civil War, was a nonstop sausage fest, with a cast of 18 men and no women. Granted, they were all soldiers, grim, grimy, injured, and dying, but still, their inner hunkiness shone through.
Instead of trying to profile them separately, I'll do them all at once, excluding Bradley Cooper and the three who have already been profiled (Charles Ambrose, Jackson Kelly). With such a large group, I'll limit my research to:
* Is he gay? A man with a wife or girlfriend will be identified as straight. Sorry, bi and closeted guys.
* Are there any n* ude photos? I'll just check AZ Nude Men and Instagram. No time to look through a lot of hookup sites.
1. Jim Cummings, Pete McCabe in Danny McBride's Halloween Kills, as Captain Cane, who accuses the pretend chaplain Elijah of gambling and drinking with the guys. He's kissing a lady a lot on his Instagram, so: straight.
2. Josh McDermitt, best known as Eugene on The Walking Dead, as Pastor Grieves, whom Elijah murders for the church offering money. Josh is straight, but likes to pretend to be gay for comedic effect by kissing dudes, har har.
3. Lew Temple, left, Axel on The Walking Dead, as a condemned Confederate soldier who asks conman chaplain Elijah to say a prayer for them, "send us out with a good one." He wishes his daughter happy birthday, so I'm going to guess straight.
4. Kimball Farley, star of the indie film Hippo, as Ned Rollins, who partners with Elijah to cheat during a card game with Captain McFall, and is later murdered. He and his girlfriend were profiled in the Love Issue of Cosmopolitan: their first kiss was at a stoplight. Straight.
5. Paul Schneider, left, known for All the Real Girls (2003) and Lars and the Real Girl (2007), as an injured soldier. His Instagram consists of posts about an innocent man on death row, with no personal information, but he kisses girls in a lot of his photos on the IMDB, so I'm going to say straight.
6. Charles Halford, seen here on Lucifer, as a soldier bathing in the river. There's a d*ck shot, but it's too blurry to post. He fills his Instagram with art and nature photos, so I can't tell if he's gay or not.
7. Tim Johnson as a soldier. He played Squi on Freaky and Punk Boss on Daybreak. Otherwise he's difficult to research: there are over 20 Tim Johnsons with Instagram accounts, including a pastor, several "husband and fathers," a fitness trainer, and this guy. Maybe it's our Tim Johnson, maybe not.
