Good Morning, Gratuitous Jon Prescott

If you saw Howl, the movie based on Allen Ginsberg's poem starring James Franco, then you remember these two scenes.

And if you remember these two scenes then you know who Jon Prescott is, cuz that's him with James there. He played Beat-legend Neal Cassady, aka the "secret hero of these poems." (I think those two scenes give up the "secret" part.) He got pointed out in my review, but mostly just because I was annoyed at how little we got to see of him and Aaron Tveit and Todd Rotundi as the men-folk in Ginsberg's life. 

Anyway Prescott was a model once, as you'll see below, and was on One Life To Live for awhile, as you'll also see below. He's playing gay(ish) in what I assume is an itty-bitty indie called The One out in "2011"... information's super vague on IMDb, but there's a little more in an interview with Prescott in Out magazine, where he also talks about filming the above scenes with James Franco. And he's in another movie with James (and Catherine Keener!), called Maladies, perhaps also out sometime in"2011."

THANK YOU. Now I have a nice picture to imagine whenever anyone mentions John Prescott.
