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:

OMG!
The horror buff didn't mention the horror?
When I saw this on EW earlier today, and tore myself away from Google Image search(seriously, it took a while), I ran over to IMDB to look over his resume. He's got some serious credits to his name: Bones, CSI, the new series Mental (which had that sexy Chris Vance naked in the first two minutes), and the upcoming disaster that is Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. But it's also showing a horror short called "Queerantine" described as thus:
Weird premise, but they do classify it as horror. Sounds like comedy to me.
I did, briefly
I listed a few of his credits after his name - but I haven't seen Queerantine!, so I couldn't say much more. Sounds like a comedy to me as well.
Oddly, I was just looking up Eaton yesterday for a completely different reason, and today the casting news. Sweet!

Brandon plays "Shower Guy" running through the halls in nothing but a towel. The end credits give thanks to all the Prop 8 supporters who helped to make the film happen. It's cute.
Stunning.
He looks like he 's straight out of a Randy Blue photoshoot.
So is he a homo, or just one of those straight guys who keeps playing gay roles?

Gay Sidekick?
Anyone else wonder if they might end up having Ashley become a lesbian? I'm wondering if his character might be brought into her storyline to help her become comfortable with her sexual identity.
Or he could just be the ridiculously attractive gay friend...I'm thrilled with either scenario really.
