The "Michael Schoeffling Was A Model" Post

.

I've always known that the disappeared actor Michael Schoeffling - aka Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles and all of our wet dreams forever and ever, amen - was a model before he was an actor. I mean, obviously he was. Look at him, dammit. Look at him!!!


Ahem. But as with every Schoeffling-ish, finding examples have been hard to come by. Until I did some net-scouting today, that is, and managed to dig several up! Hooray! The internet is quite possibly my favorite thing. Well my second favorite after my beloved Jake Ryan, of course. See a bunch after the jump!

Not even one in underwear? Seriously underused!

I can't argue with that. Schoeffling was always underused. And so he left us, because we didn't appreciate him enough. It's all mythic and shit.

Have you read this ode to Jake? It's from the Washington Post in 2004?

Oh JA, you have such good taste!! I swear, Michael Schoeffling was such a wet dream for me at 14-15 yrs old. Kind of still is! ~MA

Meant to add: though I don't get your Dominic Cooper obsession... he was in a movie I recently watched called "Tamara Drewe" and I *kind* of got it more, but ultimately -- no.

Though I do share your love of Eric Bana, Michael Fassbender, and many many more! ~MA
