I've been looking at n*de guys in mainstream movies and tv shows for a long time. Accidental arousal all the way back to Mark-Paul Goesselaer in
Dead Man on Campus (1998), full, open arousal on
Europhia and
The Righteous Gemstones. But this morning I saw a screenshot so shocking that I couldn't believe it aired on a mainstream television program (after the break).
So I had to research the program: C*A*U*G*H*T, with asterisks, like M*A*S*H, to distinguish it from the other tv series named Caught that premiered that year. It is a six episode comedy produced, written, and directed by Kick Gurry (Kick?), which aired on the Stan network in Australia, in September 2023. It was pulled from international release, so not available in the U.S., but I read an episode guide.
The plot: four Australian soldiers go on a secret mission to the war-torn island of Behati-Prinloo, where they are mistaken for American spies and captured by "freedom fighters." They release a homemade hostage video that goes viral, resulting the U.S. Secretaryof State, played by Susan Sarandon, negotiating for their release and Sean Penn offering to exchange himself for the guys.
As far as I can tell, all of the characters and actors are heterosexual.
The four are:
1. Lincoln Younes as Albhanis Mouwad. The former
Home and Away soap star is known for D
own Under, Tangle, and
Grand Hotel.
2. Kick Gurry (Kick?) as Dylan Fox. He is best known as Sparky in
Speed Racer and Griff in
Edge of Tomorrow. He's rather unattractive, so here's another photo of Lincoln Younes instead.
3. Ben O'Toole (
shouldn't that be Rod O'Toole?) as Rowdy Gaines (
Rowdy?). He is best known as Snapper Webster in
Barons (Snapper?).
4. Alexander England as Phil Choi. He appeared as Mnevis in
Gods of Egypt.
