Once again Matthew Rhys totally stole the show from all his Brothers & Sisters, plucking a hair from his half-sister's head mid-dinner party -- in order to test her DNA, of course, because it's not like he'd believe they're related otherwise. Also David Paymer coined the dating-a-closeted-guy version of the Pottery Barn Rule (you break it, you bought it) by telling our boy that if he accompanied Chad to a premiere, it'd be like screwing a virgin. He'd be stuck for life. Naturally Kevin promptly bailed.
Jason Lewis actually did double-time on ABC this weekend. On Friday night, he popped up in a very Sex & the City-esque spot on Six Degrees, playing a hunky runner who picks up Bridget Moynahan in Central Park.
I cannot reasonably explain my love for Six Degrees, which has nothing to do with Jason Lewis (though possibly something to do with Shiri Appelby). Like nearly everything on this network, you can watch all the episodes at ABC.com.
It's a strange show, the kind that doesn't usually make it on the air. The closest I can think of to describe it is as a Miramax soap opera -- sort of like Sliding Doors: The Series. But it's the highest class, most well-written and -acted soap in town, and refreshingly missing the over-the-top antics of Desperate Housewives or The OC. It's just this quiet little drama about chance and coincidence and life in New York City, and I don't really even care that it's weirdly devoid of any queer major characters (there have been a few scattered references reminding us that in fact there are gay people in NYC).
Also, hey, there are some really hot guys in it too! Check out Jay Hernandez (above), Jonathan Cake, Campbell Scott and Dorian Missick after the jump.
> Jay Hernandez, who blushed his way through an intro at last year's
GLAAD awards, held hands with his fellow football players in the
original big-screen version of Friday Night Lights and maybe saved lives in Oliver Stone's World Trade Center (I don't know, I didn't see it!).
> Jonathan Cake, who plays Roy, the token rakish British philandering asshole. Previously seen exclusively in Shakespearean roles.
> Dorian Missick, previously best known as the guy who voices Vincent Vance in Grand Theft Auto's Vice City Stories.
> Campbell Scott, who I think looks way more handsome in his mid-40s
than he did flouncing around Fire Island in short shorts at 22 for
Longtime Companion.
