Xavier Samuel Five Times

Well this is a good way to get our attention, Xavier Samuel. Samuel is an actor I really like and think is genuinely talented -- even beyond looking like how he looks, which is obviously... well you have eyes -- and he's chosen interesting projects. The first thing I ever saw him in was the Aussie horror flick for the ages The Loved Ones, after all! Plus he played Frankenstein for director Bernard Rose, he made that son-swapping movie with Naomi Watts, and the last time I saw him he was DP'ing Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. Not a career for the faint of heart! And yet he never gets the attention of his contemporaries -- maybe now that he's in his 30s somebody will figure out how to make him a star? 

I'm certainly here for it! And I am taking this eye-snatching new photoshoot that he posted on his Instagram a few days ago as evidence that he wants some more attention, too. So let's give it to him. (Or he can give it to us -- I'm not picky.) Somebody give Xavier a proper good gig and we'll give you a couple more reasons why you should if we all just hit the jump for the entire shoot...
