Maybe it’s a good thing that Berkshire bloke Oliver Mellor isn’t very well known in the States. If so, Yanks would be spending all of their time yanking over this alluring Englishman! Before Oliver lent his sexy presence to stage (Cyrano de Bergerac) and screen (Father Brown), he wanted to be a professional rugby player. But multiple injuries put an end to his dreams. Of course, his pain is our gain since the sporty stud switched gears and decided to pursue acting instead. Like Hugh Bonneville, Gregory Finnegan, Matthew Goode, and Terence Stamp, Mr. Mellor attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts. After graduation, he worked as a personal trainer while landing guest spots on television shows (Doctor Who, Doctors, The Royal) and recurring roles on British soaps (Emmerdale, Hollyoaks: In the City). The boob tube babe also portrayed Geoff on EastEnders (2007) and Julian Woodley on Midsomer Murders (2011). Yet most of his fans from across the pond know him as Dr. Matt Carter from the popular series Coronation Street (2010-2013) and the TV movie Coronation Street: Tram Crash (2010). However, we’re more turned on by the brunette bombshell’s topless turn on Skins (2008). The aptly-titled teen saga features Nicholas Hoult, Janet Montgomery, Nick Figgis, and Oliver’s fab flesh! In addition to revealing his naked chest, the skintastic actor dons skimpy skivvies during a drug-induced tattoo party. Just watching Mellor flaunt his fine physique in this scene will make you want to get his name inked onto your own body!
