Murray Bartlett
Ok, so I'm late to the party, but finally am near the end of the first season of Looking. I had avoided it primarly because I hated QAF and thought this might be a repeat of the same thing.
Much to my surprise, I'm loving it. While I think Jonathan Groff is about as cute as it gets, it is Murray Bartlett who REALLY turns me on big time. I know he's openly gay. Anyone know any fun or interesting or sleazy facts about him?

He looks much better without the Castro clone mustache.
If only they'd have a full sex scene with his character and Scott Bakula - both completely nude with a lot of kissing.

He's pretty cute and has a very nice body, but I hate his teeth.

He is the real hunk of the show. And he acts pretty well, too.

I quite enjoyed him in "August".

R1 There's a shot of his character semi-naked in a bed with Scott Bakula in the season 2 trailer, so hopefully that means it happens.

Yeah, there isn't much gossip I've heard about him which sucks and surprises me. I remember he gave an early interview for "Looking" in which I felt it was heavily implied he had gotten...to know a good number of guys in San Francisco so I thought someone here would be be able to say something.

Totally agree with R1 about the mustache. I didn't realize that this was the same guy who played Carrie's gay shoe-importer friend for one episode of Sex and the City. Of course, that was a decade ago.
He looks really great in this. I liked Looking from he start. Didn't have problems with the "slowness" that some complained about.

Dom is my favorite character. Loved the scene of him putting it to a twink early in the season. Guess now that he is "maturing" and may be settling in with Lynn there won't be much of that this season.

I have a feeling Lynn-Dom might not happen. He wants it to, but for some reason I think something will prevent it.

Do you mean SEASON 2 or disk 2 of the first season?

Ohh, Murray and Scott in bed together. Can't wait to see that. Hopefully the camera will linger on them for a long time.

Can't be easy going through life with the name Murray, but if anyone could overcome it, it would be him.

He was on Guiding Light towards the end too. I forget his character's name but he was involved with Harley.

In that soap clip, it sounded like he had his Aussie accent-- was his character supposed to be an Aussie? Because he speaks American just fine in "Looking." Is his character supposed to be of Portuguese descent (because of the peri-peri chicken)? I know he and his roommate made a reference to having come along way since Modesto, and about his father's restaurant on I-5.

We don't know anything about Dom's background and family other than him and Doris are from Modesto. Knowing about Peri-Peri chicken does not mean you are Portuguese though.

r19, see r15 for his GL name.

R24 Well, Dom is not a common name among most ethnicities-- I would think Italian, Spanish or Portuguese might be a good guess.

We don't know Dom's, Agustin's, or Doris's last names. We only know Patrick's and Richie's. (Per IMDB.)

R23 Yes, his character was Australian.
Kane Manera played his brother Grady Foley. Kane is now a real estate agent, oddly enough.

Murray toured with Hugh Jackman for The boy from Oz. I wonder if they hooked up.

He uses an American accent for Looking.

It's an Australian thing.

If any out gay actor is up to play straight romantic leads, I'd say it would be Murray Bartlett.
I can't imagine the straight female audience having any problem fantasizing about him.

Sam Barnett played Posner in The History Boys, R44. He's gay, too.

You do know that he actually IS Australian, don't you? Here is is being interviewed on Australian TV. He's also wearing a wedding ring.

[R29] they're very much together (they both wear wedding rings in fact) but it's clear meeting either one that it's a very open relationship.

I was the one who asked whether Murray's CHARACTER on the soap was Australian; I know that the ACTOR is. I was curious because, since he obviously can do an American accent, why did they have an Aussie character on an American soap?

Look closely at sideview closeups of Murray, which reveal ugly Neanderthal kind of Aboriginal looks. From head on, he is cute, but sideviews, no. Just sayin'. I know I am being picky and he is overall a good looking dude.
I still like Russell, check his ass out near the end of ep. 8. And Richie (is that his name?) the barber is pretty handsome, esp. w/out the beard.
I also think Scott B. is pretty hot. The rest of the guys are meh.
This show needs some major character development--or better actors. I don't care about any of the characters except Tovey, Richie, and Lynn. Still I am glad someone is doing a gay series.

I wish he'd wear his hair and mustache on Looking like he does in these linked pics.
If Looking is renewed I hope it balances out the airtime. I am so over Patrick.

Reviving this after listening to this interview with Lauren Weedman, where she says Murray told her he was planning on quitting acting.
Has anyone heard anything about him? He doesn't wear his wedding ring anymore either.
