When I was in highschool, my little skateboard loving brother rented a film. Which he then continued to rent numerous times over because it was 'so cool'. I didn't complain, because the lead actor was 'like so cute'. So began our numerous screenings of 'Grind' and my decade-long crush on American not-so-famous actor, Mike Vogel.
Vogel was born in 1979 and hails from Pennsylvania, which is conveniently close to dear New York City and its array of acting and modelling castings. He started out in the modelling world (are we surprised? No.) as a Levi's guy (yummy) and was later cast in the tv series 'Grounded for Life'. Grind was released in 2003 and then he popped up two years later in the screen adaptation of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (the teenage crushing continued).
He's continued to have supporting roles in decent films (Poseidon, Rumor Has It etc) but has recently resurfaced on my radar playing 'Barbie' in the new TV series, The Dome. I wasn't convinced I wanted to start watching the show, but then I saw he was in it and the teenage girl in me stayed tuned (Yes, I'm quite into it now).
Sadly, I have to inform y'all that he is in-fact married. With 3 daughters. Although that is quite adorable in its own right. And he's definitely quite the yummy daddy. Mmmmm.
