Crush Of The Week #39

This week's Crush Of The Week is...

Milo Ventimiglia

Mr. Ventimiglia started his acting career as a dorky looking teenager starring as obscure, one-off characters in a handful of TV shows and shorts - The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Boys Life 2 - Must Be The Music, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Saved By The Bell: The New Class, Rewind, EZ Streets, Brooklyn South, Kelly Kelly, One World, She's All That, Speedway Junky, Promised Land, Opposite Sex...

... which led onto more obscure titles such as Massholes, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Nice Guys Finish Last, then a regular role in Gilmore Girls shot him onto peoples radars...

Before falling upon more obscure or one-off roles like Winter Break, Boston Public, Law And Order: Special Victims Unit, Gramercy Park, Cursed, American Dreams, Dirty Deeds...

... Intelligence, Stay Alive, The Bedford Diaries, Rocky Balboa (as Rocky Balboa Jr., possibly thanks to that wonderfully wonky mouth of his...)

then BAM. Heroes happened, catapulting Mr. V into the geeky spotlight. And oh how we loved it...

Which had nothing to do with the fact that Milo's character, Peter Petrelli, spent 90% of one series shirtless...

Yeah... Nothing to do with that..........

Ahem. Next was Pathology, High-Five Hollywood!, Robot Chicken (as Green Arrow), Gamer, Armoured, Order Of Chaos...

Then a brief voice acting role as Wolverine in the Iron Man cartoon in 2012...

Then back to movies/TV with Suite 7, The Temp Life, Fight For Your Right Revisited, The Divide...

Followed by a reprisal in his role as Wolverine, but this time in 2011's Wolverine cartoon series and even a brief Wolverine cameo again in 2011's Blade cartoon series. He further geek-pimped himself out to the terrible X-Men: Destiny as Grant Alexander.

2012 saw Milo star in That's My Boy, Static and Kiss Of The Damned.
