(Not about language, but about acting.)
Caught twice in re-runs of Law & Order episodes recently, the engaging and versatile actor Bobby Cannavale, seen below looking steamy:

From Wikipedia:
Robert “Bobby” Cannavale (… born May 3, 1970 [to a Cuban mother and a father of Italian descent]) is an American actor known for his leading role as Bobby Caffey in the first two seasons of the television series Third Watch. Cannavale also had a recurring role on the NBC comedy series Will & Grace as Officer Vincent “Vince” D’Angelo, Will Truman’s long-term boyfriend, and portrayed Gyp Rosetti during the third season of the HBO drama Boardwalk Empire, for which he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2013.
This is a small sampling of Cannavale’s work in film, on television, and on the stage; he’s been tremendously hard-working, and in an extraordinary range of parts, from comic roles through romantic ones to very dark ones. He’s gotten a fair number of awards and nominations, including for the play The Motherfucker in the Hat, which has figured on this blog because of the problem its title presents for reports in the media. (Cannavale played the title character.)
Cannavale is a very physical actor, employing his face and body for both large effects and subtle ones. Always a pleasure to watch.
He’s comfortable playing gay roles (including the one in Will and Grace), so that it was natural for Out magazine to get him to pose shirtless for the enjoyment of its gay male readers. Some serious shots, like this one:

and several goofy shots as well. You will see that he’s a lean man, not a muscleguy.
