Tara's post is EPIC and there is not much to add in terms of screen bad boys that proved to be all too alluring than their "nice guy" counterpoints, but I will wager to add a few choice sassy heartthrobs. Jordan Catalano not only gave mainstream visibility to dyslexia, but epitomized the mid'90s with this haircut and smoldering gaze - no wonder he was the tool to so many girls' undoing. BLAAINE! - No! And while I can still get behind Two and Half Men because Jon Cryer was the unstoppable and lovable Duckie, the real thing that always makes me mad about Annie/Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink is why she didn't fuck James Spader?! C'mon! Add doing lines in his parents' gigantic study and you get the best revision of a "wholesome" John Hughes film. And yes girl (Majandra Delfino), you are looking fly, and I feel your longing for the out of this world/extraterrestrial sass of Brendan Fehr in Roswell. If you doubt the potency of his pout, watch this episode, then complain. Like Jon Cryer, I will advocate on behalf of this man's career today because of his '80s teen film roles. Though Christian Slater channels James Dean in Heathers, his rebellious smoking and psychopathic murderous rage make him a bad boy for the ages. Along the same anarchic wavelength, pre-Mad Men Vincent Kartheiser is a hottie when he's beaten up but still defiant in Masterminds, a film Tara introduced me to! But River's Edge wins for having both Crispin Glover and Keanu Reeves in their bad boy finest. Apparently I go for murderers more than drug dealers, oh good. Lastly, how could I forget this notorious one's best performance. If we could only remember him for this:
I’ve got so many guilty pleasures when it comes to television, but Prison Break is one of my favorites. And…I have to admit that my absence from the blog has been partially Prison-Break-induced. So what better way to honor these (sometimes) beautiful men than to create an homage to their baldyheaded, brooding sass?
WARNING: As I love this show more than is probably healthy, I had trouble narrowing down the sass, so…I included them all. Image-heavy.
The Good Guys…kind of
The star of our show (and arguably the most beautiful man alive), Mr. Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield. His sass is generally very brooding and scowly.
Dominic Purcell, the break-ee and foxy big brother Linc. Also brooding.
Amaury Nolasco’s Sucre…just…mmm. That’s all. You can sass me any day.
Rockmond Dunbar as C-Note. Just makes you wonder how they convinced so many pretty men to sign on to the same project.
Marshall Allman as Linc’s son LJ shows that he got his sass from daddy, particularly in the lip-curl department.
They’ve got the foxy ladies too. Sarah Wayne Callies’ take-no-mess Dr. Tancredi demonstrates the sass that made Michael love her.
The Bad Guys
Definitely the sassiest (and most lecherous…and most terrifying) man on the show, Robert Knepper’s T-Bag represents for creepos everywhere.
Agent Kellerman (Paul Adelstein). So delicious. So badass. Can sass you even through his shades.
Gretchen Morgan aka “Susan B. Anthony” is one of the newer villains…and one of the awesomest. Through waterboarding and other tortures (admittedly, you can’t really say this show treats the ladies all that well), she maintains her scary sass. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's got the sassy pose down pat.
The GoodBadGood-Turned-BadBad-Turned-Good…erm, well…these guys are on the show, too.
While Lane Garrison’s role as Tweener was relatively short-lived, this face makes him a shoo-in for the post.
Only William Fichtner’s acting skillz could make Agent Mahone go from deplorable to lovable so quickly.
You’re not supposed to look Haywire in the eye…clearly because he’s got too much sass for anyone to handle. Silas Weir Mitchell shows how the crazy eyes can add to the sass factor.
I miss Abruzzi…so classy, so sassy.
Bonus Sass Peter Stormare as a crazy German in the Volkswagen “Unpimp Your Ride” commercials:
Jordan Catalano not only gave mainstream visibility to dyslexia, but epitomized the mid'90s with this haircut and smoldering gaze - no wonder he was the tool to so many girls' undoing.
