Bear Or Not: Peter Sarsgaard

Actor Peter Sarsgaard may look familiar to you. He has played many diverse roles over the years, from the homophobic thug in Boys Don’t Cry to the sensitive bisexual Clyde Martin in Kinsey.

Sometimes he’s got whiskers, sometimes not. He’s always got that hairy chest though, with the happy trail leading down below the waistline as can be seen in this still from The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh. The movie is about a love triangle between a woman, a gay man and a bisexual man.

Peter got his first break back in 1995 with a guest spot in Law & Order. His film career began with Dead Man Walking, playing one of the murder victims. After that he played many small parts in several low-budget indie films.

In 1999 Sarsgaard first gained critical recognition for his role in Boys Don’t Cry, a movie about a biological female who identifies and lives life as a male. He plays the role of John Lotter, who ultimately becomes one of the tormentors in the plot. The movie drew critical acclaim despite being a relatively low budget production.

Ultimately the phone started ringing for Sarsgaard. He got a plum role along side Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie Jarhead, based on Marine Anthony Swofford’s best-selling 2003 book about his pre-Desert Storm experiences in Saudi Arabia and about his experiences fighting in Kuwait.

Here’s the naked truth… Well, as naked as we get on Bearotic. If you wanna see the whole enchilada you’d better get the movie! let’s just say that it is exactly as Kinsey stated it should be.

Now wouldn’t that scene be so much nicer if he had his beard grown in like this?
