Brando Eaton cast as ridiculously adorable gay BFF on "Secret Life of the American Teenager"

Last year we had cause to tune into ABC Family's utterly wackadoodle family dramedy The Secret Life of the American Teenager when lead teen Amy (Shailene Woodley) considered giving her unborn baby to her dad's gay co-worker Donovan (Alex Boling) and his hubby Leon (Larry Sullivan).

It looks like next season we'll have even more reason to watch, as the show has just cast the magically delicious Brando Eaton (Do Not Disturb, Nip/Tuck, Queerantine!) to play Griffin, the new gay sidekick to Amy's gorgeous and rather badass little sister, Ashley (India Eisley).

Okay, I'll admit that I have a hard time watching this show because the main family's last name happens to be Juergens (same spelling and everything), and I'm really not used to hearing my name spoken by the likes of Molly Ringwald, John Schneider and Bobby Bacala from The Sopranos (who plays another parent).

But having seen the awesomely homoerotic (not to mention hilarious) shower scene between Eaton and the crushtastic Seann William Scott in Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach ... let me just say that I'll get over any hesitation:
