He's Playing the First Gay Spy

Debuting tonight on here!, America's premium gay television network, Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) stars with Shannen Dougherty and John Rhys-Davies in Kiss Me Deadly.

Per Business Wire, the plot is as follows:

"Jacob Keane (Gant) is a photographer living the family life in Milan with his loving boyfriend, Paolo, and Julia, the daughter he shares with his lesbian friend, Kyra. When a young woman, Marta (Doherty), arrives from his past life, he is pulled back into the high-stakes world of international espionage. Together they must elude a mysterious enemy threatening to disrupt their now-quiet lives. Out actor Ian Roberts (Superman Returns) co-stars as the villainous Vigo, while John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings trilogy) plays the heroic Yale, a former colleague of Jacob and Marta."

As to what he's up to now, Robert told me that he just wrapped:

• a Lifetime movie called Special Delivery that will air in December for Lifetime with Lisa Edelstein of House and Brenda Song, one of the young Disney stars.
• a part for a film for Spike TV called Mask of the Ninja.

Robert also recently appeared on the magazine cover of Instinct Magazine.

Penn Alum Flashes Goods, Hollywood Throws Beads

For today's Mardis Gras celebrations, I have an especially topical Hollywood post for all of you.

Here's one Hollywood writer with something to be happy about.

Josh Heald's (W'00, Editor-in-Chief 34th Street Magazine('99), Penn Jazz) first movie, Mardis Gras is getting produced. And this writer is working with another Penn alum producer to get it made.

Per Josh,

"The comedy follows three college seniors on a trip to Mardi Gras that is supposed to make up for their lackluster college experience. Once they're met with the reality of 100,000 sweaty people crammed into 8 city blocks, their challenges mount and friendships are tested, as they vow not to return to school without a story to tell. ...And there's naked boobs, of course, because boobs are awesome."

Click here to find out how Josh got his start as a writer in Hollywood, who will be starring in the film and what other Penn alum producer he's working with!!

Playing the victim of a sugar momma

Did you catch actor Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) on last week's "Magda and Jeff" episode of Nip/Tuck?

Robert played the gold digging husband of an eighty something year old(!) who insists her husband check into the McNamara-Troy plastic surgery center to add more hair to his body. Robert was very funny in this episode. See for yourself...

Watch Scene 1: "So Tell me what you don't like about yourself"

Watch Scene 2: He gets a mustache
