Ray Sharkey Sexy

Brooklyn born heartthrob Ray Sharkey didn’t quite reach the level of success that he probably could have. He sadly died at a relatively young age in 1993. The work he did do while he was around, though, is still great, and he looks damn good in all of it. His first big break came with a recurring role on Kojak, which was followed by smaller roles on shows like All in the Family, Barney Miller, and The Jeffersons, but his career really took off once he found his groove playing a prototypical Italian American New Yorker, in movies like Paradise Alley (1978), The Idolmaker (1980), Willie & Phil (1980), Some Kind of Hero (1982), and Wise Guys (1986) (not to mention the TV series Wiseguy, which had a short run in the late ‘80s). He also had a memorable role as Frank in Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989), which found him, in one scene, showing off his sexy shirtless body while giving another dude a sensual massage.
