Anyone else feel like Lifetime doesn’t understand what a draw Cougar Town‘s Josh Hopkins is? He costars in 12 Men of Christmas (premieres Saturday, 9 p.m. ET) with Kristin Chenoweth, not that the network makes a big deal about it in the art (see him in a little ornament like he’s just one of the guys and not the leading man) or in the trailer, which yes, does feature him shirtless at :14, but doesn’t bother to name drop him.
I’ll admit that I only knew Hopkins as “Grayson on Cougar Town, who used to be on Swingtown” until he made our recent list of TV’s Best Bitches. But after I learned his name, I typed it in YouTube and spent 54 minutes watching him in old episodes of Cold Case (I recommend this and this) and Private Practice (thank you, AddieFan2008 for compiling his scenes in five parts).
Is Hopkins the reason you’ll tune in for 12 Men of Christmas (which we’ll be discussing Sunday on PopWatch, of course)? Or, like me, are you also a sucker for any movie that has a jaded city girl finding herself when she moves to the country — in this case, Montana, where she takes a PR job and tries to convince the men of an underfunded volunteer search-and-rescue team to pose semi-naked for a calendar to raise money for a new helicopter? Okay, I do sorta cringe reading that back…but watching the video below that has Hopkins (“Mr. December”) talking about modeling in chaps, and “Mr. May” Jessie Pavelka looking criminally hot, and My Girl‘s Anna Chlumskly working (yay!), I don’t really care.
love him so much.
Uh, totally watching it for Josh. I mean, that’s really the only reason I even watch Cougartown…and one of the main reasons I watched Swingtown….LOVE HIM. so gorgeous.
I’m mostly tuning in because I’m a giant Cheno fangirl but Josh definitely a factor as well.
Screw you! I’m watching more for Cheno!
Kristin Chenoweth is what got my attention, I just adore her. But Josh is a lovely bonus!
Anna Chlumskly?! She’s back?! I think I have to watch this!
how about the 12 ho’s of x-mas
I’ve had Josh Hopkins on my TiVo for years. First I remember seeing him was in “The Perfect Storm.” …and he’s from my hometown, Lexington!
I know the woman who wrote the book this was based on, so I was originally planning on watching for that – but Josh Hopkins is a huge bonus!
Josh was also in GI Jane.
Loved him ever since Love and Sex – I’m a sucker for a terrible Robert De Niro.
Honestly, he is rather bad actor. Wooden and not very expressive.
Loved him on Pepper Dennis!
That Jesse dude is the hottest piece of man-meat I have ever laid my eyes on. sweet JEBUS!
To all the Josh Hopkins fans out there, good news! His new film “Lebanon, PA” is premiering at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival in March!
