Yesterday, a member of an Asian American theater company that I belong to posted this wonderful link on my Facebook wall - 27 Asian Leading Men Who Deserve More Air Time, and I did a happy dance knowing that I had some fresh faces for the blog. To be fair, I have already posted 5 of these men, not including the delightful John Abraham, featured above. But I look forward to seeing more of the other 21, a lot more. The title of this list is a bit misleading since many of these Asian actors do get a lot of air time in Asia. I think they meant more airtime in Western films and television which is, of course, rather ethnocentric of the writers, but I'll forgive them because many of the pictures were shirtless.
Now Mr. Abraham, in addition to being a male model who possesses a waist to rival Hrithik Roshan, is also a wonderful actor who was in the critically acclaimed "Water" by Deepa Mehta. I thought his performance was especially moving in this incredibly emotional film, and I don't think he took his shirt off at all. So A+ for Mr. Abraham for possessing another great accessory to shirtlessness, talent. I'm not going to lie, the above picture freaks me out a little bit. It has to be airbrushed, right? Where could all his organs fit with a waist that small? Maybe he'll do another independent film, and we will be able to find out.
Apologies again for my poor posting skills for the last two weeks. In addition to taking a short vacation at the beginning of August, I also found myself without internet for a week, thanks to Time Warner Cable. I don't know how this company continues to exist with the poor level of customer service, not to mention semi-annual outages, aside from its monopoly on the market, but I can say I don't like it. Now that it's back, I have 21 Asian men to research!
Yours in shirtlessness,
