The Summer Action Stud

Recent MNPP-fixation Timothy Olyphant, quoted back in May by this article at EW's Popwatch blog calling in to Indie 103.1 FM where he apparently does the sports report (!), from the set of his next movie Hitman which was filming in Bulgaria:

"I got a day off today. You know what they say here in Bulgaria, right? The only thing worse than working in Bulgaria is a day off in Bulgaria."

Funny, but really I'm quoting this article because its true purpose is in asking a terribly difficult question: who's the Summer '07 Action Hunk? Is it Olyphant, which Popwatch blogger Mandi Bierly is arguing, or is it Josh Duhamel?

This is totally what Meryl Streep felt like in that Sophie movie, right?

I'll give Bierly that, personality-wise, Olyphant would probably be a billion times more fun to hang out with. I mean... Duhamel dates Fergie, which subtracts like 95% of the worth his ass gets across. So I too am gonna have to take up membership in Team Olyphant.

Kissing that ass goodbye, though, is a painful reconciliation to make. Thankfully Olyphant's not too shabby a skeleton to hold onto either; I can cry my tears on those shoulders, for sure.

So who's your Summer '07 Action Hunk? Olyphant, Duhamel? ... LeBeouf? Willis?

I watched it last night, too, brian, and yeah, Jeffrey Donovan is worthy of drool.

Although I can't help but picture him drooling white foam in Blair Witch 2 whenever I see him.

ahh, glad to hear it (that you saw it not that you have that disturbing image in yr head).

might have been my imagination, but those tailored suits made it seem like mr donovan is packing major heat . . . and I'm not a big package-checker-outer

ALSO didn't the constant narration give you a pleasant VERONICA buzz? Did for me. . .

I'll take a little bit of everything, waiter.

I'd normally go with the more talented Olyphant, but Duhamel, well, there's a dreaminess there that I'm not going to be able to ignore.

And, I'd also like to concur with Brian's Jeffrey Donovan observation.
