Sonny Kendall: Obviously gay, too young for nude photos, so his EastEnder teen had better pay off. With Boreanaz and twink cocks

 

 Sonny Kendall (the short one) appeared on the teen idol website flexing and hugging guys.  These two are nearly holding hands.

As of this writing, he is 16 years old, so I won't be looking for nude  photos (beefcake is ok).   

I've checked his social media, and there's no question that he's gay. 

Left: Sonny's date starts hugging before they even get a chance to order.  

So this profile will just answer Question #1: Any gay roles?

Sonny was born in East London in 2010.  He was attending the Rhodes Theatre School in Romford in 2021, when he was cast in the soap EastEnders.

Whoops, it looks like the EastEnders gig is Sonny's only on-screen role.  But it has gotten him nominations for Best Young Performer at the British Soap Awards in 2022 and 2025,  Rising Star at the National Television Awards (2023), and Favourite Young Actor at the TV Times Awards.  So let's check it out.

The East End, north of the Thames and east of the Tower, is known for its Cockney rhyming slang, poverty, crime, and industrial blight.  This is where Jack the Ripper found  his victims, and Oscar Wilde found his rentboys.  

In the 1990s, my boyfriend Lane and I went to the World Congress of LGBT Jews, held in a hotel on the Isle of Dogs, East London.  It was dreadful. 

The soap opera EastEnders, on since 1985, features the  impoverished, the down-and-out, and the criminal .  We don't see British versions of the Lords of One Life to Live or the Quartermaines of General Hospital.  At least, not many of them.

It is known for "difficult," controversial plot arcs, involving murder, rape, drug addiction, and human trafficking.  And LGBT people.  The first male same-sex kiss on British tv, between boyfriends Colin and Guido (Michael Cashman, Nicholas Donovan), in 1987.   It didn't happen on American tv until 2003.

Left: When you search for nude photos of Nicholas Donovan, this one appears.  I think it's David Boreanaz.

Sonny's character, Tommy Moon, is the son of Kat and Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie), who have a tumultuous relationship, with various infidelities, a brain tumor, prostate cancer. an injury in a fire, and having twin sons named Bert and Ernie.   Oh, and Tommy turns out to be the biological son of Alfie's cousin, the villainous Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd, left).

Tommy is born in 2010, and starts out life in a controversial plotline about being switched with a dead baby.  It takes a few plot twists for Alfie and Kat to realize that their kid is actually alive, and get him back.  He lives through more murders, diseases, and infidelities, until 2014 , when the parents win the lottery and get the heck out of the East End.

Luke Speakman: The femme bully of "Weapons" meets a lot of hunks, likes capybaras, plays a boy raised as a girl. With Dad and Dylan dicks

 

When I saw Weapons (2025), a thriller about the mysterious disappearance of all of the kids in a third grade class (except one), I thought that the bully (right) was a girl due to their long hair and femme mannerisms -- until their dad called them Matthew (played by Luke Speakman).

There is a positively portrayed gay couple in the movie (played by Benedict Wong and Clayton Farris), and it's quite a welcome change to have the femme boy the bully instead of the victim, so writer/director Zach Creger is obviously a queer ally. But Matthew is not on screen long enough to express any same-sex interests (besides, the rule in movies is, all kids must be portrayed as heterosexual).  But maybe Luke Speakman is gay in real life. 

Left: Luke meets his crush, Merrick Hanna.

Left: Luke's birthday in April 2025: "Turned 12 today!  Guess I'm old now!"  Just wait, buddy.

Growing up in a heteronormative society, gay boys are often unaware that they like boys, or interpret their interest as friendship or hero worship.  And if they are aware, they are unlikely to mention it on their parent-curated social media pages.  But maybe we can catch some glimmers of same-sex interest to augment Luke's femme appearance.

Born in Athens, Georgia in 2013, Luke began acting on screen at age five, in Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories (2020): he plays the young version of Sam (Dylan O'Brien, left), who goes through a time portal to the 1920s and meets Girl of His Dreams (be careful, she could be your great-grandmother).

Next came seven episodes of the podcast series The Burned Photo (2021-22): two women's "lives become intertwined when they discover they are being terrorized by the same multi-generational curse that is determined to end their family lineages."  So some lesbian subtexts going on?

Five episodes of Lost Man Down (2022), about an aspiring actor masquerading as a talent agent.  Luke plays a baseball fan who believes in aspiring player Takeshi (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, center).  The guy with them is not Tsuyoshi's boyfriend.  I don't think.

An Asian hunk.  Not particularly relevant, but none of the adult stars of Lost Man Down have nude photos.

Marty York: The "Sandlot" kid grows up into a bodybuilding man's man, with gay roles, Jerry O'Connell, and some cocks

In Abbott Elementary Episode 5.4 (2025), wacky grade school teacher Jacob and his boyfriend (Chris Perfetti, Jabouki Young-White) head out to a game night hosted by button-down colleague Gregory (Tyler James Williams of Everybody Hates Chris).

The rest of the gang head to the DMV for a day of endless lines, surly staff, and nitpicking, constantly changing requirements: "You need Form 3934-B, which states that you had insurance at 7:00 pm two weeks ago.  This is Form 3934-C, which is about having insurance six days ago.  And you forgot the letter from your third grade teacher attesting that your middle name is correct.  But don't worry about it: I'm about to go on break, and the next clerk will make up something else."

Melissa gets upset when people with numbers higher than hers get called up, and when huge bodybuilder Fabrizio (Marty York) has the same number.  She loudly accuses him of being anti-Italian, and upon hearing that he is himself Italian, accuses him of being anti-woman.

The last time I researched a bodybuilder with a walk-on role, in Young Sherlock Holmes, I hit pay dirt: the guy turned out to be gay, with gay characters and nude photos.  Maybe lightning will strike again with Marty York.

Turns out that Marty is famous for The Sandlot (1993), a movie about a ragtag band of misfit and minority kids who start a baseball team (in 1962, so Babe Ruth stops by).   I've never seen it -- who wants to watch kids playing sports? -- but apparently it was very popular, and propelled the cast into teen idol stardom:

 Tom Guiry, the new kid in town

Patrick Renna, fat

Mike Vitar, Latino

Marty York, a kid who ends every sentence with "yeah."

Chauncey Leopardi, nerd

Two guys I can't identify

Brandon Quinton Adam, Black

The Sandlot was 13-year old Marty's first acting job.  He went on to play:

An inner-city kid being treated to Thanksgiving Dinner on Saved by the Bell: The College Years (1993). Where he got to hang out with Mark-Paul Gosselaer and Mario Lopez, sigh.

Larry, who competed with Corey for Shaun Hunter's affection, on Boy Meets World (1993).  Sounds like a queer code.

A bully who is bested by the adolescent Quinn (Philip Van Dyke) on Sliders (1994).  Where he got to hang out with the grown-up Quinn, Jerry O'Connell, sigh.

In adulthood the roles become more sporadic. Guest spots on The Eric Andre Show,  SMILF, and Abbot Elementary, plus a few shorts.

In The Brothers Sinclair (2011), two gay brothers (Mike Manning, Steven Helmkamp) inherit their uncle's business, a private men's gym.  They are expecting a gay sauna, but it turns out that all of the members are straight, and it's run by the Mob.  But all three members of the Calypso gang, including Guido (Marty), are gay, so it all works out. 

It was actually intended to be a promotional film for a full-length movie that never got made.

In Super Bois (2021) aspiring filmmaker Jon (Jon Mancinetti) is visited by his brother Joel (Alec Stitick), who is on the autism spectrum, and convinces him to make his own superhero movie.  Jon Mancinetti is gay in real life, and probably playing his character as gay.  

Marty plays an action-adventure hero in a movie that he s directing.

Several gay and gay-adjacent roles.  A promising start.  Now let's check out the bodybuilder's personal life.

Eddie Ramos: Teen chimera with a boyfriend, gay cage fighter, probably gay artist, DMV short guy. With his butt and cock, of course.

 

In DMV Episode 1.10 (2026), Department of Motor Vehicles employee Colette is upset because she's not part of the Hot Gurlz Friend List that her coworker Ceci maintains.  She spends the day making inept attempts at sexual double entendres, but it doesn't convince Ceci to let her join.  

Finally she sees the electrician Miguel (Eddie Ramos) standing on a ladder to repair something: Ceci's favorite cousin, and the family's "pride and joy."  After a brief conversation, MIguel asks Colette out.  She agrees: this could get her a place on the Hot Gurlz list.

Uh-oh, when Miguel descends the ladder, he turns out to be short -- 5'7".  A massive turn-on for me, but for some reason Colette is no longer attracted to him.  But she has to go through with the date to ensure her place on Ceci's list.

After seeking the advice of DMV weirdo Vic (Tony Cavalero), she decides to trick Miguel into refusing future dates, so it won't be her fault and she can stay on the list.   Sitcom complications follow, but I was busy researching Eddie Ramos. 

Eddie grew up in Queens, received a BFA from Syracuse University in 2013, and participated in the ABC Diversity Showcase in 2014. Diversity because he's Hispanic, because he's gay, or both?

The good news: Of his 29 acting credits listed on the IMDB, at least three are gay roles.

On a 2015 episode of Teen Wolf.  high schooler Corey (Michael Johnston) tells the gang that his new boyfiend Lucas (Eddie) suddenly turned into a chimera-werewolf-scorpion hybrid and stung him.  This turns him into a chimera, too.  The evil Lucas then goes to a gay club, picks up Mason (Khylin Rhambo), and tries to sting him.  But the good guys arrive, and he is killed in the ensuing fight.  Not to worry Corey and Mason start dating, and stay together through the two seasons.

The short Bitch, Please (2016) doesn't have a plot synopsis online, but presumably it's about gay guys throwing shade.

Incorporated (2016-17) stars Sean Teale as a "little guy" trying to take down an evil corporation in 2074.  Eddie plays Theo, a gay street kid turned cage fighter who becomes his ally.. He starts dating Anthony (Matt Landry, left).

Plus he appeared in six episodes of the gay-friendly Animal Kingdom (2018-19) as Tupi, a straight gang member who gets killed while naked.

The bad news:

Eddie played straight guys in Vici and Eraser: Reborn, and maybe in some of his guest roles, on Mr. Mayor, Hightown, Chicago Med, The Rookie, and so on.  I don't see a lot of gay content.  

In an episode 9-1-1 Nashville (2016): Pedro (Eddie) is working on a mural, when a scaffolding collapses.  He is buried, then suffers a spinal injury.  In the hospital, he worries that he won't be able to do his art anymore.   An artist, no girlfriend visiting him in the hospital: two queer codes.  But no canon.

More good news and bad news after the break.  Caution: Explicit.
