Eldergays: Gather us around the fireplace and tell us about Steven Bauer

I recently saw Scarface for the first time and I was blown away by young Steven Bauer. I only know him as a character actor who occasionally shows up playing some aging playboy (like in Better Call Saul), but he was so gorgeous and magnetic when he was younger. Was he A-, B-, or C-list at his peak?

I was surprised, but not really, to learn he was the first of 3 famous men to father children with Melanie Griffith. Hell, she managed to fuck all of them in their prime too.

B- probably.

by Anonymousreply 1August 23, 2023 12:40 PM

I recall him during the 198os from Scarface and a few made for TV movies. He was at his peak a B list. But he was stunningly handsome.

Not an eldergay yet, but I still remember the first time I saw him in a movie from the 80s on a rented video. Thief of Hearts. Damn! Muy caliente.

In looking up his history and trying to see why he went by “Bauer” and not “Echevarría” I learned that his mother’s parents were Jewish refugees from Hitler. Who knew?

As an adolescent, I used to watch him in the bilingual sitcom ¿Qué Pasa USA? aimed at acclimating Cubans new to the country.

It ran at midnight, which was convenient for me because I could jerk off in the basement without interruption while gazing at Steven Bauer in his jeans and tight shirts. Incredibly charismatic with a perpetual aura of sex.

I thought he was the most desirable guy in the world.

He first fell into my pubescent gayling orbit via the very homoerotic crime soap Wiseguy.

I loved him as Don Eladio in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He was so handsome when he was young, but even as an older man, he was charming and charismatic. I didn’t know he had a kid with Melanie Griffith.

OP not only replicated the topic of this thread, but he actually stole the original posters words and all this time. This was posted between 1 to 2 years ago. Now the OP (the same one who just made a Paul Mescal thread despite always bitching about Paul Mescal threads) copied and pasted it.

As I said on the other thread, he saved our threads and duplicates/replicates them. What sane person does this?

Solid character actor whose career was derailed by drugs. Melanie bailed him out financially a few times and paid for a few stints in rehab.

He was A list until nothing worked out. Treat Williams was another. Don Johnson (after mMiami Vice ), John Hamm etc. it happens.

I remember the first time seeing him in a TV movie, called Sword of Gideon. It was about the secret commandoes who went after the terrorists responsible for the Munich Olympics murders of the Jewish athletes. He was gorgeous. Spielberg lifted his movie Munich from the TV movie.

by Anonymousreply 18August 23, 2023 7:24 PM

He was a very handsome man indeed, but sadly the combination of his genes with Melanie Griffith's didn't produce an attractive son.

Also R16, I don't want to imagine how messed up someone's life must be for them to have to rely on assistance from the car crash known as Melanie Griffith.

I saw him years ago in a small production of “Bent”.

At his prime, standing shirtless on the apron of the stage, dirty talking another character into orgasm. He was amazing.

R55 I think Melanie is attractive, but in a sort of earthy way. She also has a natural sensuality about her that I think many straight men would find attractive. She strikes me as the kind of woman who is really down for it in the bedroom.

In the early seasons of 'One Day At A Time' he guest starred as a Cuban refugee whose only chance of staying in America was to get married. Of course, Barbara Cooper lost a contest among her school friends (who wanted to help him) and she was the designated bride to be. Ann Romano tried to talk her out of it but she insisted on following through. Of course, by the end of the episode he backs out and they don't get married. Too bad - he would've been a nice addition.

The ODAAT episode Bauer was in aired on February 15, 1981 called "I Do, I Do". Bonnie Franklin jogs around the set, acts exasperated with Barbara, and shows a whole lot of emotion. I don't know why she didn't win an Emmy for this episode (jk).

The imdb synopsis: Barbara takes up political activism in the form of a man who is about to be deported to a country who wants to execute him.
