"The newsworthy nude pictures of sexy male celebrities"
Ryan Kwanten
Ryan is another of those hot Australian export like Jesse Spencer, (New South Wales), who started his acting career in A Country Practice and Spellbinder. Probably his first break into the Northern Hemisphere was in 1997 with a role in soap opera Home and Away where he played the lifeguard Vinnie Patterson. It is the time Kwanten spent in that show, which gradually turned him into a renowned sex symbol. The next step in any actor's career is a trip to America. Straight away he secured a role as hunky Jay Robertson in Lori Loughlin's Summerland, a show that featured Zac Efron as Cameron Bale in one of his earliest appearances. Other significant roles include appearances in the movies Flicka and Dead Silence.
Ryan also appeared as Jason Stackhouse in True Blood, a small town Southern hick whos only interest is sleeping with women (see below under on-screen nudity), also starring hunky Stephen Moyer and oscar winning Anna Paquin (Jason's mind-reading sister). You would be excused for watching the pilot and thinking it was about
unusual sexual positions and not vampires.
It seems Ryan only got in to acting by chance when his mother was driving his brother to an acting
audition and left a young Kwanten in the car. Worrying that he would miss his swim training, Ryan went in to hurry his mother up and met the agent who asked him to
audition. Ryan got in to the agency, but his brother did not.
Recently, Kwanten discussed his regular on screen nudity at the William S Paley Television Festival in Hollywood, saying that he tries not to think about his mother watching the scenes when he is starkers. Uk viewers will be treated to this hunky 'redneck Casanova' on Channel 4 later this year.
Nudity Review - Ryan Kwanten's Skin on Screen
The best place to catch Ryan without any clothes on is in the TV series True Blood (2008). One episode I remember, you could see his butt and the crack while he is between a woman's legs doing the dirty stuff with his mouth! Essentially, if you tune in, Kwanten will be nude. I think HBO intend for this
racy show to replace the likes of Six Feet Under and Sex in the City. Alan Ball the script writer (or creator?) of the show (and Six Feet Under) says "He does wear clothes, but he takes them off alot" (quoted from article at Watoday.com.au). Alan continues, "His character is sexually compulsive" and "He gets his self-esteem and his sense of who he is by all the women he has sex with".

"Yeah. I was talking to Ada last week. I left in November. H&A had a 5 week production break as well and they've just come back to work and Ada still still thinks I'm going to turn up to work tomorrow. It hasn't really felt like I've left yet. It'll probably sink in, in the next couple of months. Do you know what I mean, does that make any sense?" (Ryan's reply when asked if he missed starring in as Vinnie in Home and Away)
