Corey Sevier: Dog's best friend, Greek god, Yoga mogul, and shirtless Christmas romcoms. And maybe Peter Brady
You might remember Canadian actor Corey Sevier from the 1997-98 reboot of Lassie. I never saw it, or the original (1954-74): the melancholy "lost dog" intro is depressing, and who wants to watch a "dog in peril" series?
I didn't see Summer of the Monkeys (1998), either. A guy on the Canadian prairie in 1910 adopts four monkeys so he'll have enough money to buy a horse? Sorry, I went to see Star Trek: Insurrection instead.
Corey's next role of note was Black Sash (2003): a disgraced ex-cop runs a martial arts dojo for teens. It only lasted for seven episodes.
And North Shore (2004-2005), a Fox sleaze soap opera about women walking around in bikinis at a hotel in Hawaii. There were some cute guys, too, but this shot will give you an idea of what you had to endure to see them.
An annoyingly heterosexist entry into young adulthood.
Some minor "show your pecs" roles followed, like Aquaman (2006), with Justin Hartley as the teenager with superpowers, and Surf School (2006), which gives teens who have no surfing experience a week to learn what they need to win the championship. Say what?
In this shot from Gospel of Deceit (2006), it looks like Corey is in bed with a guy, but the plot synopsis on the IMDB says that a preacher's wife (Alexandra Paul) is having an affair with handyman Cory.
I checked the original movie: It's Alexandra Paul, who uses she/her pronouns. Lady definitely has a masculine gender presentation: triceps, no breasts, a man's haircut.
The first movie with Corey that I actually saw was The Immortals (2011): I was drawn in by the Greek gods, everyone from Zeus (Luke Evans) to Poseidon (Kellan Lutz). Corey played Apollo. Of course, the story was ridiculous, with no connection to any Greek myth.
And The Northlander (2016), which sounds like Mad Max: crazy-looking people travel through a post-Apocalyptic desert in search of something or other.

Left: Matthew G. Taylor as the King's Guard
The IMDB says that Corey is known for Conduct Unbecoming (2011): a soldier is charged with killing civilians in Afghanistan. Of course I wouldn't see that.
In Awaken (2012), Corey meets the Girl of His Deams. The only problem: she's dead.
And The Northlander (2016), which sounds like Mad Max: crazy-looking people travel through a post-Apocalyptic desert in search of something or other.
Two episodes of Psych:
Brody, a contestant on a dating game
The model Bryan Frou, who might be gay. A Corey first!

Dennis Quaid: Two gay guys, some cops, a shrunken scientist, a footballer, and is that a dick shot?
Nazarenes didn't go to many movies, since it was a major sin, but in the summer of 1979 I managed to see the buddy comedy Breaking Away. In the university town of Bloomington, Indiana, a group of working-class boys contemplate their future while swimming semi-nude in the limestone quarry where their dads work. The hunky Mike (Dennis Quaid) wants to "light out to the territory" and become a cowboy. Moocher (Jackie Earl Haley) wants to marry his girlfriend. Dave (Dennis Christopher), wants to become Italian and win The Girl.
There's a more explicit, girl-free gay subtext in Enemy Mine (1985: a future soldier named David and his enemy, a Drac named "Jerry" (Louis Gossett Jr.), are stranded on an alien planet, and develop a touching, homoromantic bond. They end up having a child together (boy Dracs don't need girl Dracs to get pregnant). When Jerry dies, David raises the child alone, and after they are rescued, returns with him to the Drac planet.
Dennis shows his butt for the first time -- but not the last -- in The Big Easy, a 1986 neo-noir about a New Orleans cop who plays by his own rules -- don't they all? -- and falls in love with a girl.
There's also reputedly a dick shot, but I can't find it. Unless this is it.
Or this blob as he prepares to have sex with his girlfriend.
