Ryan Kwanten

(from men.style.com)


Remember Vinnie Paterson from Home and Away? Well his real name is Ryan Kwanten, now in season one of HBO's True Blood, actor Ryan Kwanten had sex by a Dumpster, suffered a drug-induced perma-erection, was accused of murdering four women, and got swept up by a religious cult.

Oh, and he was naked (at least partially) in eleven of twelve episodes. "I led the way in the sexual-shenanigans department in the first season," says the 32-year-old Australian native, who first made a name for himself playing a lifeguard on an Aussie soap.

Kwanten may play a dim womanizer on-screen, but offscreen he's smart enough to suffer the indignities of his nude scenes with a smile.

While other TV networks are struggling to keep the lights on, True Blood's viewership has doubled, easing HBO out of its post-Sopranos slump and assuring Kwanten that he'll remain taken care of through the global meltdown. Besides, Kwanten says, "This season, Anna Paquin is far more naked than I am."—raha naddaf
