Good Morning, World

A happy 40th birthday to the terrific Jonathan Tucker today! He's been one of our faves for over half his life at this point -- the first place I would have seen him was playing neighbor boy "Tim" in Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, and then a year later as Tilda's confused gay son in The Deep End, and tell me that two-some's not a stellar way to kick off one's career. A couple of years after that came the better-than-it-has-any-right-being Texas Chainsaw remake on 2003, which is what the above gif is from -- well it's from a making-of video anyway, which you can watch right here and I recommend you do if you're a fan and not just because...

... it's stuffed with that film's hot male cast taking their clothes off. 

But it doesn't hurt! And that's actually actor Eric Balfour seen naked both above and below by the way. I figured as long as we're here we might as well make those gifs, even if I'm talking Tucker. Anyway Tuck mostly does TV these days and he does very fine work there -- see especially his several seasons on Kingdom (although I admit his one-episode sexy gay-ish creep stint on Hannibal remains my fave) -- but when he does pop up in movies he's ever reliable; I don't think that Palm Trees and Power Lines has gotten a release yet, but I saw it at Sundance and he's phenomenal in it. Keep an eye out! Happy 40, Tuck! Here's one more Eric Balfour, let's say celebrating Tuck's birthday with his birthday suit...
