Ashton Kutcher as a sexual grifter in 'Spread': Wouldn't you prefer Gale Harold?

Maybe it's because I think Brian Kinney would've loved the jacket-scarf combo Ashton Kutcher sports at the start of the new trailer for Spread — the film in which Kutcher stars as a "sexual grifter" who sleeps his way to the finer things in Los Angeles — but all I kept thinking watching it was, Why aren't you Gale Harold?* I fear that the movie won't be as dark and delicious as I want it to be. Instead, it'll be something Oxygen could play on a Saturday night after A Lot Like Love. Different, but still safe. What do you think? More Anne Heche, right?

* When I wasn't thinking Has Ashton's voice always been that low?, Nikki is sort of a stupid name, and Wow, that looks like the same house he shot that Nikon commercial in.

    wow, thank you, my college roommate and I have been saying for years that Ashton is like a younger, less sexy version of Gale Harold. But then, we adored Brian Kinney, and many people are not as sexy as Brian Kinney.

  • susie

    I love Gale Harold…I would love to see him in a big movie where he could really show his amazing talent. AK is too goofy…Gale is way sexier.

  • steph

    Never thought about it before, but it totally makes sense. I need to see Brian Kinney do something again! Sigh.

  • Colleen

    Abso-freaking-lutely I’d prefer Gale! His new look is sexier than ever!

  • Rhonda

    Gale Harold .. yes … absolutely yes! But less Anne Heche … none would be perfect

  • Jane

    Yes..Yes. I love Gale.

  • Anne

    Absolutely yes! Don’t get me wrong I quite like AK but I love Gale Harold!He is such a talented actor and he is way sexier.

  • Liz

    Gale instead? Ashton’s pretty, but hell yeah! Gale is way sexier.

  • Liz

    Gale instead? Ashton’s pretty, but absolutely, yes! Gale is so much sexier.

    I’ve been hoping for a long time that Gale would be in something worthy of his talent.DHW really did’nt give him anything that was good enough,his character was boring! I can’t wait to see him in something Great. I’ve been kind of concerned lately, when I saw a more recent photo he looked sooo thin,maybe just because of the accident and not feeling well for a while. Hope he’s doing really well.I really adore him.

  • romy

    I totally agree with you! Gale Harold is better actor and sexier than Ashton IMO. And also his voice is more sensual.
    I would love to see him in a big movie showing his fantastic talent

  • Owen

    Okay, once and for all, let us, everyone, realize that GALE HAROLD CANNOT ACT!! I don’t mean kinda-can’t-act like Demi Moore or Chase Crawford. They are Meryl and Olivier comparatively. This guy gives Middle School Play quality line readings!! He always has. How does he keep getting work? He’s hot, yes. But come on now!! There are way better hunks that actually can muster a pinch of acting gravitas.

  • Ana Maria

    …I totally agree! Gale Harold would be better for this role…and in another blog I commented that he also would be perfect for the role of the devil which the show Supernatural is casting for…

  • Angela

    Gale would be perfection in this role. He is so sexy and smooth. The only question would be his age even though I think he still looks as beautiful as he did at 30.

  • Ceballos

    We’re supposed to buy that Nikki is a man’ name?
    (Insert “Family Feud” red X!)

  • ducdebrabant

    A as matter of fact, I would. I love Ashton Kutcher, and I think he’s beautiful, but for some reason I don’t find him very sexy. He’s like your funny kid brother, who just happens to be extremely pretty. I’ve seen him try and be sexy on the screen (“The Guardian”) and it sort of works, but not really that well. Gale Harold is a little older than Ashton, but he doesn’t really look it. And for sexiness, he’s worth a hundred Ashton Kutcher’s.

  • Popservations

    “I thought every day was going to be like a Van Halen video.” In just what year is this movie supposed to take place? 1984?

  • D

    More Anne Heche please!

  • brianne

    I MISS GALE! so so much, especially in this movie. He would have played Nikki so understated, made him seem so much more real and flawed.

  • pop

    why is he trying so hard to sound sexy? is it even sexy he’s trying to sound like? stoned? like a smoker?

  • Ethany

    Though I like Ashton, Gale would have been perfect for that role, since he already perfected it in QAF. Ashton does look alot like Gale anyway!

  • Ethany

    Gale would have been perfect! He is so hot!

  • Rocy

    Gale siempre sera el mejor.. sin menospreciar a aston.. que tambien es muy guapo, pero como gale no habra ninguno… no tiene ese misterioso y maduro que tiene gale… saludos.. =)

  • Aga

    Oh yes! Gale would be absolutely perfect!

  • Jolene

    I am in total agreement… Gale Harold would have been a much better choice. I like Ashton and all… but he’s no Gale Harold!!!

  • torque

    Pues ya creia que era la única a la que el personaje de Ashton le recordaba al de Gale Harold (Brian Kinney), pero creo que mas o menos cuando hacia de Brian tenia la misma edad que Ashton ahora.
    Ashton Kutcher = Gale Harold = Me encantan.

  • sawyersarcasm

    Ashton can’t act either. Hey there to Gale fans! Haven’t seen you in eons!
