I recently saw Scarface for the first time and I was blown away by young Steven Bauer. I only know him as a character actor who occasionally shows up playing some aging playboy (like in Better Call Saul), but he was so gorgeous and magnetic when he was younger. Was he A-, B-, or C-list at his peak?

I was surprised, but not really, to learn he was the first of 3 famous men to father children with Melanie Griffith. Hell, she managed to fuck all of them in their prime too.

I recall him during the 198os from Scarface and a few made for TV movies. He was at his peak a B list. But he was stunningly handsome.

Not an eldergay yet, but I still remember the first time I saw him in a movie from the 80s on a rented video. Thief of Hearts. Damn! Muy caliente.

In looking up his history and trying to see why he went by “Bauer” and not “Echevarría” I learned that his mother’s parents were Jewish refugees from Hitler. Who knew?

As an adolescent, I used to watch him in the bilingual sitcom ¿Qué Pasa USA? aimed at acclimating Cubans new to the country.

It ran at midnight, which was convenient for me because I could jerk off in the basement without interruption while gazing at Steven Bauer in his jeans and tight shirts. Incredibly charismatic with a perpetual aura of sex.

I thought he was the most desirable guy in the world.

I didn’t recognize him as Don Eladio.

He first fell into my pubescent gayling orbit via the very homoerotic crime soap Wiseguy.

by Anonymousreply 10August 23, 2023 4:26 PM

I loved him as Don Eladio in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He was so handsome when he was young, but even as an older man, he was charming and charismatic. I didn’t know he had a kid with Melanie Griffith.

Que Pasa USA could be funny and he was adorable in that.

OP not only replicated the topic of this thread, but he actually stole the original posters words and all this time. This was posted between 1 to 2 years ago. Now the OP (the same one who just made a Paul Mescal thread despite always bitching about Paul Mescal threads) copied and pasted it.

As I said on the other thread, he saved our threads and duplicates/replicates them. What sane person does this?

R13 wait, he’s gonna say “wrong person! Check my posting history!” Or something of the sort. He does the same thing over and over.

Solid character actor whose career was derailed by drugs. Melanie bailed him out financially a few times and paid for a few stints in rehab.

by Anonymousreply 16August 23, 2023 6:15 PM

He was A list until nothing worked out. Treat Williams was another. Don Johnson (after mMiami Vice ), John Hamm etc. it happens.

I remember the first time seeing him in a TV movie, called Sword of Gideon. It was about the secret commandoes who went after the terrorists responsible for the Munich Olympics murders of the Jewish athletes. He was gorgeous. Spielberg lifted his movie Munich from the TV movie.

He was a very handsome man indeed, but sadly the combination of his genes with Melanie Griffith's didn't produce an attractive son.

Also R16, I don't want to imagine how messed up someone's life must be for them to have to rely on assistance from the car crash known as Melanie Griffith.

I’m not sure he was ever A-list.

He was never an A-Lister. Most of his parts were in B films

Does 45 count as eldergay now? I don’t feel elder yet, but the countdown start on my next birthday.

By the way R15, you can stick Jan up your flaccid asshole. She’ll feel right at home.

I saw him years ago in a small production of “Bent”.

At his prime, standing shirtless on the apron of the stage, dirty talking another character into orgasm. He was amazing.

He seems like he would be a fun guy to have on a set.

That goes a long way.

IMO, you have to be 55 to qualify as an Eldergay. I know some feel 40 is elderly but so what.

Scalding hot in "Thief of Hearts."

HBO played Thief of Hearts all the time after midnight in the '90s.

Prime JO material for me as a horny teen.

He was never A-list, Scarface was not considered successful when it was released. It's developed a cult following, but at the time it was released it was considered a dissapointment. That was the only A-list film Bauer was ever in, so...

R31, yeah, you can get a brief glimpse of his cut cock in "Thief of Hearts" as he puts on his underwear after the sex scene.

His face is gorgeous from left and the right but head-on looks a bit odd. Like Edward James Olmos mixed with Everett McGill.

He was good in Scarface. More handsome than Al Pacino.

R13:

Hey Psycho, produce a link to the thread I allegedly plagiarized. I fucking watched Scarface on Netflix and couldn’t believe the hot side kick was Don Eladio from Better Call Saul. And after finding out he was married to Melanie Griffith, I figured DL could give me some insight into his reputation as a hot young actor.

I swear, this site needs a feature we’re people can be referred for mental evaluations!
