I was initially very excited about the concept of Heroes when it premiered a few years ago. I ate up the first season eagerly, particularly pleased with the beautiful bodies of Milo Ventimiglia, Adrian Pasdar, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. All three of them immediately claimed starring roles in more than one of my wrestling fantasies.
The second season lost me. I just lost track of it entirely about halfway through. A friend encouraged me to give it another try. I recently finished off both the second and third season, and I’m hooked again. They pulled the story back on track and continue to keep the story and the characters evolving. They also understand the particular joys of introducing to us new, hardbodied heroes along the way, such as Justin Baldoni.
He only appeared in a couple of episodes, but he immediately grabbed me. Even before his post-shower shirtless scene, I was a fan. An Italian boy with a stunning Roman nose on a chiseled, handsome face simply can’t be wrong. Pack on some sweet, shredded muscle, and my jaw can’t help but drop open.
As I wiped away the drool that formed at the corner of my slack jaw, I wondered why I haven’t seen much, much (much) more of sweet Justin. He swims in and out of Heroes far too quickly, and otherwise it looks like he’s mostly a daytime soap opera boy. Not sure why he hasn’t yet been discovered for much bigger and better things yet. I suspect in the Producer’s Ring, his time will be coming soon!
