Eddie stars alongside Jeff Bridges in this haunting film set in Seattle which explores the intergenerational relationship between a delinquent ex-con father and his motherless son.

The boy meets his father when the man is discharged from yet another term in prison. They start to get to know one another with all the joys and pitfalls common in adult-teen relationships. It is even more fascinating when you discover that in real life Eddie was born to a single mother and never knew his own father

Eddie is superb and quietly androgynous in this role. In fact he set my GAYDAR off a few times but this was when I wasn't drooling at his general attractiveness and keen acting ability.

There are quite a few shirtless scenes and I thought I would share with you via the above image. I would guess Eddie is on camera for more than 95% of this movie. Jeff Bridges is good in this role as well.

If you haven't seen American Heart (surely an oxymoron :)) then do so - it's well worth the effort.
