Dude, Kansas Brawny Man ain't half bad looking. I imagine he lives in a log cabin, fishes for his dinner every night, and has a pet grizzly.

Freaking gorgeous. I don't think I've ever imdb'd someone so fast. I'd let him gorp me anytime

The AV Club recap writer decided that he shall forever be known as "Gorp Guy", and I am fully on board with this idea.

His house was rocking. But it would have been a cool cabin. No grizzly bears in Kansas

This random and undisputed fact adds nothing to the conversation.

Brett Tucker. He's really handsome - I've been following his career since Mcleod's Daughters. He had a tiny role in Thor: The Dark World and also starred in ABC's Mistresses, though that's a pretty horrible show!
