Billy Magnussen making a name for himself

[Khan]

Why do I get the feeling many of us here wear the !@#$%^&*] out of the rewind, fast forward and pause buttons on our DVR remotes?

[Khan]

Seriously, peeps, Errol should change SON's slogan from "bringing drama closer" to "WE'S HORNY!" and be done with it.

Ha...I thought of starting a thread of which former soap stars have appeared nude in a movie or tv show....lol

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Two P&G Soap Alums working together. Congrats to Billy!

OK that wasn't hard to find online... And I agree with most on here. While I'm being completely superficial, in the blogs I found photos of, all the still frame shots of his face made him look really weird--though I do think he has a good look overall (could use more hair...)

Moving on...

[JackPeyton]

It is perfection.

"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" moved to Broadway a couple of weeks ago and I got to see it tonight. Billy Magnussen certainly looks good and shows it off but he also pulls off comedy very well and more than holds his own (not quite literally!) in a strong cast. The reviews are mostly very good for both him and the show so I expect more doors will open for him.

Update on Billy M's path to stardom: He has been cast as Jake Gyllenhaal's replacement in the film adaptation of "Into The Woods" and will be appearing with Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Chris Pine and others. I think with this, BM has officially "made it"

[Soapsuds]

I already posted it on where are they now thread.....

He sure is on fire isnt he.....nude and all...ha

[quartermainefan]

He should be a template for the other soap actors. I think the theater came first, which got him the attention of the TV show, then he was good enough to get a Tony nom, and that probably gave him the cred to be cast in this. Soap stars need to leave soaps while they are young lest they wind up like Tony Geary: playing the same role their entire life. That play BM did was crucial to his career obviously.

[Soapsuds]

Agreed but of course Geary gets to go Amsterdam every year for vacations..hmmmm...of course he could spend his entire time there if he werent on GH.....you know its his vacation time when they start writing for him and then give him some fatal disease or disappearance...lame..and very tedious....and just annoying....

Did you get to see Billy in Boardwalk Empire??

[quartermainefan]

No I watch very little TV at night at that show is not on the list.

Our William also has a nice supporting part in the new Brit Marling thriller The East, which is worth a watch. In a rare change of pace, he is not naked in the film.

I just fear that his impending stardom will lead to a serious decrease in his full frontal nudity.
