BGPS’s Advent Calendar Of Buff Blokes: Day 8 - Sean Maher

Like Zachary Quinto a few days ago, today’s advent calendar entry is a new member of the gayborhood, as he only came out publicly a couple of months ago. Sean Maher is perhaps most famous for playing Simon Tam in Joss Whedon’s short-lived sci-fi series, Firefly, reprising the role in the movie Serenity.

Since then he’s made numerous guest appearance on TV shows such as the such as The Mentalist, Ghost Whisperer and Drop Dead Diva. It looked like he’d got a new regular TV job this autumn in The Playboy Club, playing a closeted gay man, but sadly that show got cancelled after only a few episodes. He’ll next be seen reteaming with director Joss Whedon for a new film version of Much Ado About Nothing.

Sean lives with his partner Paul and their two adopted children (and with kids involved, it’s almost impressive nobody right-wing nutter outed him before). Click below to enlarge some pics of the delectable Sean, including a few of him topless, just to make us extra jealous of his boyfriend.
