Gratuitous Teddy Sears

.

Lizzy Caplan, Beau Bridges and Allison Janney might get all the Emmy love, and Michael Sheen might get all the articles written about how he deserved some of the Emmy love too, but it need not be forgotten that these folks are surrounded wall to wall with terrific performances... and the most surprisingly great work might just be coming from Teddy Sears. I was thinking about this while watching this week's episode last night, which gave him a little bit of a showcase and didn't even require him to take his clothes off for it this time.

Okay he ran around in a well-fit pair of pajamas for a bit, that I appreciated, but besides that he got to show us all sorts of shades to his caddish Dr. Austin Langham that he hadn't quite gotten to show us yet, and frankly Teddy is nailing the heck out of it. His scene with Sheen smoking that cigar was funny, sly, and terribly sad all at once. I love spending time with all of the characters on Masters of Sex, so it says a lot that I always look forward to Teddy's scenes, and it says even more that I'm talking about one right now that didn't even involve him having an orgasm for a change. Good work, Teddy!

As you'll see below, Teddy's six-feet-three-inches has been exploited to its fullest for years on shows like Ugly Betty and Dollhouse and American Horror Story, so it's nice (albeit kinda galling) to know he's actually talented while also looking like he looks. Gives us reasons to keep staring, ya know. Okay hit the jump for lots more, y'all.
