Hunks of the 80s

Inspired by recent threads on Kiefer Sutherland, RDJ, and Jason Patric. Here's one of my faves the beautiful Rutger Hauer.

Who was the guy on General Hospital whose real last name was Shlomo (or something close to it) and he was originally from Israel but changed his name? I think he had brown hair and blue eyes.

Steve Bond really bulked up when he was on GH.

There was an actor on OLTL around the same time, who played Brad Vernon, his name was Steve Fletcher- he had such a hot body! Big hairy pecs and torso, big biceps…

R24, Hexum wins this thread hands down.

That voice!

He has a handful of credits; loved him in Voyagers! as the big brother uncle let's face it FATHER to little Jeffrey; always protecting him, picking him up, joking with him....

He was very soft spoken and regal and kind in the Hotel episode with Emma Samms; they did a take on Cinderella in a ballroom that was so low budget it was funny. But who cares? Viewers just looked at Prince Erik.

RIP, Jon-Erik Hexum.

Have you ever seen Soldier of Orange, OP? It was directed by Paul Verhoeven. Rutger plays a riff on Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema, a real-life free-spirited, aristocratic Dutch college guy whose intended career trajectory was shattered when WW II broke out.

It follows him through the war as he first escapes the Nazi occupation of Holland and goes to England to fly bombing missions and ultimately, more through luck than good management, rises to become an aide de camp to Queen Wilhelmina.

The royal house has said it was a stretch for him to call himself “of Orange” in his book, as that’s how they denominate themselves, but they seem to have a lot of affection for him.

It’s a fun movie and Rutger’s beauty blazes off the screen. Highly recommended.

Note: I’m not Dutch and most of the above is what I remember from listening to Verhoeven’s commentary track but I think I also read the book long ago.

In addition to Grant Aleksander (mentioned above) there was also, of course, John Wesley Shipp.

I think one of the things I liked about both of them is they were very hot but at the same time......I could see a guy like this being in my town, having gone to my HS, that sort of thing. Which just made it an even hotter fantasy.
