What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man! Excuse Mr. Man’s full-on Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue voices, but it simply cannot be helped, as Thomas Mann is currently on the menu. (And no, Thomas is not a relative of Mr. Man—though we are equally charming, he has that extra “n.”) The Portland-born, Dallas-raised actor began his on-screen career at the age of 18, when he popped up on an episode of iCarly in 2009. His feature-film debut was playing Aaron in It’s Kind of a Funny Story (2010) with Zach Galifianakis and Emma Roberts, followed by the role of Thomas in the riotous Project X (2012) and Roosevelt in Fun Size (2012). Thomas has mostly appeared on the big screen, but he did have quite the adventure as Thaddeus Mobley in an episode of Fargo in 2017 (the season with Ewan McGregor); this is where you can get a shadowy but no less impressive look at Thomas sans shirt. Luckily, some set person had the thought to put him in front of a lamp a bit later, so the view gets even brighter. Only a year earlier, he strummed a guitar while naked, revealing his beautiful butt as the character Stephen Grywalski in Brain on Fire (2016). Between, around, and after his skintillating moments, you’ll recall the high-school hockey player in films like Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) with Jeremy Renner, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015), Kong: Skull Island (2017) with Tom Hiddleston, The Highwaymen (2019) with Kevin Costner, Halloween Kills (2021) with Jamie Lee Curtis, and About Fate (2022) with Emma Roberts (again). You got to say it again now…
