5. Benjamin Walker
Benjamin Walker continues to star in amazing musicals that people love after the fact. It sucks. From Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson to American Psycho, Walker proves that he is a powerhouse and can lead a show but the public doesn’t recognize it until after the show has had to close.
American Psycho came out earlier this year and was honestly breathtaking. Showing the twisted mind of Patrick Bateman, the Bret Easton Ellis novel of the same name has been critically acclaimed for years.
And the musical should have been, too. Granted, again, I might be biased. This is one of my favorite novels and movies. Benjamin Walker and Duncan Sheik are amazing but still, this show was something else. And, unfortunately, it was closed too soon.
But it at least gave us something we’d always dreamt of: Benjamin Walker in tight underwear running around covered in blood. This boy is always covered in blood in his musicals, and it is weirdly attractive.
But no matter what you think of his choice in musicals, Benjamin can sing and dance and there is something so attractive about a tall man who can, pretty much, do it all. So someone just give him a Tony award already. He deserves it.
