Defying Gravity

I saw a trailer on BBC1 the other day for a show called Defying Gravity. I knew nothing about it, but the trailer made it look like it was a comedy, and an unfunny one at that. Yesterday I saw it on BBC iPlayer, had nothing else to do so I thought I would check it out. I'm glad that I did.
I am not sure yet if it is any good, I think it may be one of those shows that comes into its own half way into the series (which is unusual for an American show, as those impatient tv-execs normally don't give slow-burning good shows time to grow). The reason I am glad I watched it is because it has given me this weeks man to obsess over:
Ty Olsson
Ty is a guy whose name keeps coming to my attention and for a different reason each time. I saw him first, that I recall, in X2, as an overweight, unattractive and dumb security guard. I thought nothing of him then. His name next came to my attention when I was researching 9/11 this year. I was checking out all the actors who had portrayed Mark Bingham in the four films about Flight 93. Ty was one of these guys and I was interested to see that all four actors (the other three being Cheyenne Jackson, Jason LeGrande and Gil Kolirin) were very attractive men, the pictures I saw of him showed he had lost weight, especially around his face. Now Ty has once more come to my attention as one of the stars of this new series. I am going to keep watching and hopefully there will be a bit more action, some revelations about the mysterious "Beta" and a whole lot more half-naked shots of the incredibly sexy Ty (who, by the way has converted weight, in X2, to muscle in Defying Gravity!). Sexy!
p.s. I can't find any pictures that do him justice, so if you know where there are some, please let me know.

He does look good. I remember him from Flight 93 also.

I haven't actually seen any of the 9/11 films, but I researched them this year, which is where I came across his name.
