Nice Boys

Alexander Skarsgard burst on the scene when he starred in HBO’s mini-series, “Generation Kill“. He played Sargeant Brad “Iceman” Colbert in a story which followed the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of the United States Marine Corps during the Iraq war. The three-time Emmy Award winning show brought a lot of attention to Skarsgard’s acting skills, and it was not long after finishing “Generation Kill” that …

I just couldn’t resist, Jason Momoa has been on the radar for some time, largely thanks to his role on Game of Thrones. Our Nice Boy feature is a day late because I really had no inspiration, until our “Game of Thrones” photos went up here from Comic Con. Who could ignore this towering hunk of talent that made the …

One of the great things about Comic Con is meeting new people and sharing the experience with pop culture fans from around the world. This year’s favorite Comic Con Find is Cody Deal, a fellow entertainment reporter, an up and coming actor, and…can this be? A Kansas native! Cody hails from a tiny town not far from my own hometown, …

Aaron Perillo is the latest in the lineup of new blood on the HBO hit series True Blood. He plays a character named ‘Blackburn’ and the details on this character are being kept under tight security. Makes you wonder how he will impact the show. ‘Blackburn’ is a recurring role beginning with episode 4.05, “Me and the Devil”. Not much …

The list of Emmy nominations came out today and one name jumped out at me which immediately brought to mind our Nice Boy of the Week. Alan Cumming earned an Emmy nomination for his role as Eli Gold on CBS’s “The Good Wife” and I hope he wins. He’s a wonderful actor who’s been seen in so many great roles, …

The latest addition to our rather lengthy list of Nice Boys is True Blood actor, Jim Parrack. The tall Texan is well known for his role as Hoyt Fortenberry on the HBO hit series. Parrack moved to Los Angeles in 2001 to study acting at The Stella Adler Academy. From there he attended Playhouse West to hone his skills on the recommendation …

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this week’s Nice Boy, the talented Gary Cole. Gary will appear as a guest star in the first episode of the season four premiere of True Blood, which airs Sunday, June 26th, on HBO. Chuck fans know Gary as Jack Burton, Sarah Walker’s father. Beyond that, Gary’s credits are extensive, and include Entourage, …

Joseph Morgan blew onto the scene as Klaus in the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, and after a tremendous build-up throughout the season, I think fans can all agree that he did an amazing job. We simply could not let this opportunity pass us by, so kind readers, a bit about our Nice Boy of the Week, Joseph Morgan. Born in …

This week’s Nice Boy has been a household name for years. Henry Winkler, better known as ‘The Fonz’ from “Happy Days”, was first noticed in the movie The Lords of Flatbush, in which he played a character very much like Fonzie. After “Happy Days” ended, Winkler changed course and started producing and directing. Two favorites of mine that he produced …

This week’s Nice Boy, Keegan Allen, is fairly new to television, but his role as Toby on ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars, just might be his breakout role. Toby has some pretty troubling issues that he’s dealing with, and this makes for an angsty kind of character. But Keegan is so completely unlike Toby. He tells us about it in …
