Good Morning, Yorick

.
11 years ago in 2008 when I posted my first post on Brian K. Vaughn's magnificent graphic novel Y: The Last Man getting turned into a movie (which then was set to star Shia LaBeouf) the actor Barry Keoghan was 15 years old. He wouldn't even act in anything for three more years. And here we are and it's 2019 and Barry is going to star in a Y: The Last Man series for FX -- titled simply Y -- what a world, y'all. We already knew Barry had been cast last summer, but last night came word that FX is moving ahead with the series, which means we're actually going to see this thing! It's had more failed starts than Jack Nicholson's ED Medication, so this is something... 

... to celebrate! With some naked Barry, obviously. Nudity is important, after all! Not just for prurient reasons (although we like them reasons just fine) but because penis is a plot point in Y: The Last Man and we need an un-shy actor. They found one. These gifs are from a 2016 movie called Mammal (meaning he was 23 when he filmed this so don't give me that look) co-starring Rachel Griffiths (anybody seen it?) and the rest are after the jump...

Love him...have to admit, however, that last night I decided to give "Ready, Player One" a shot and assumed I was watching Barry when it turns out I was watching Tye Sheridan

he's got such an interesting look about him, he demands your attention.

Aquinas1220 - that's funny, it was the other way around for me. When I saw "Dunkirk" I thought I was watching Tye Sheridan when it was really Barry. I'm convinced they're clones!
