Ever since TV began, amusing dudes born on July 12th have manned boob tube comedies. Take That ’70s Show’s Topher Grace, The Big Bang Theory’s Caleb Pierce, and The Milton Berle Show’s Milton Berle (not to mention The Cosby Show’s Bill Cosby). Of course, we’d be remiss not to add Brock Ciarlelli to this list. The small screen stud is best known for his stint as Sue Heck’s gay best friend Brad Bottig on the long-running family sitcom The Middle (2009-2018), for which he scored six Young Artist Award nominations and four wins! In between, Brock could be seen alongside Cassandra Van Dongen on the series Valet (2017). Since then, he co-starred in the TV movie Sue Sue in the City (2018) with Eden Sher, Finesse Mitchell, and Chris Diamantopoulos. But not before the Colorado cutie graduated from Chapman University in California with a Bachelor’s in Mathematics. Smart, adorable, and funny? That adds up to one sexy specimen! After lending his appealing presence to short films (Beth and Ali, Home Entertainment), Brock finally landed a part in a big screen feature flick. The mainstream movie Bros (2022) includes appearances by Amy Schumer, Ben Stiller, Harvey Fierstein, Kristin Chenoweth, Kenan Thompson, and Brock’s briefs! Yes, the topless hottie dons skivvies while trying to get in on a foursome with co-stars Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane, and Ryan Faucett. Even though the big budget pic wasn’t a box office smash, Mr. Man has a priceless image of Mr. Ciarlelli’s bare chest for his spank bank!
