Good Morning, Gratuitous Chris Lowell II

.

I wasn't sure what picture to begin this post with - Chris Lowell's been very kind & giving over the past year or so with this sort of thing, as you'll see - but I figure you can't go wrong with Chris and SNL's Beck Bennett in their underwear holding hands. They're apparently good friends, which for some reason seems nice to me, the idea of them hanging out, it seems nice. They seem friendly.

Friendly. Anyway yes we have done a Gratuitous Chris Lowell Part One before, way way back in the day (the day = 2007) when Veronica Mars was still on the air. That was before we really knew what we were doing; it's a scant post, that. Not this one though!

Lowell's a photographer (you can see a lot on his Instagram) and while I'm not 100% that every shot you'll see here is him, they all seem to be. The asses match. Maybe he's got lots of friends with similar asses, I don't know, it could be how he chooses his friends - seems as good a stick as any.

(Better even.) The real reason I'm posting on Chris today though is I saw him in a play this past weekend! It's called Jacuzzi and if you're in NYC you've only got ten more days until it closes and I actually really liked it, so I say you should try to score a ticket.

And yes okay Chris spends a good portion of the show half-naked in a jacuzzi, it's true. His co-star Chris Thureen, as the creepy ginger-bearded mountain man, he ain't too shabby either.

And there's lots of tension, sexual and otherwise, hanging in the humid air. It's actually riffing on horror movies some, which I didn't know going in, so how could it go wrong with me? Besides the nakedness and the genre-stuff I actually thought everybody was terrific, and it's worth seeing on its own dramatic merits. Plus...

... ya know, the other stuff. Here's a link to the trailer for the show. OK back to Chris - hit the jump to see the rest of the pictures...
