John Terlesky

a list of movies of my favorite actor, John Terlesky, with the sexiest and most amazing looks and attitude, from most recommended to least for his fans or others interested. i focus mainly on 80's movies, where his typecast was mainly a good hearted bad boy. in the 90's and onwards he started to get cast as a geek (Battling for Baby), a villain (Walker, Texas Ranger) and other negative archetypes which turned me off. also he got older and sort of lost his beautiful shape and attitude. though the latter might be because of the characters. thank you john terlesky, i really admire your work.

Terlesky's classic, he's giving here one of the sexiest most lovable performances i've seen, he rules this whole movie, a candy shop for his fans. he's a good yet cocky and arrogant thief who joins a princess to save her kingdom and fall in love!

almost ties with deathstalker, here he's giving an absolute boyfriend performance, he starts off as a mean heartless bad boy but turns out to be the sweetest sensitive guy. he is amazingly cute in this one. the story has several main characters, i think that if the movie was all about him it could've been really good because he's the most interesting character of them.

from the director of Deathstalker, he is really sweet in this one, the only problem is he dies pretty soon (15 minutes). still he shows some abs and you might like to check it, the movie is also lots of fun.

it's a movie about coming out in the 80's and he's the mean roommate who doesn't approve. it's too bad his last scene is him shouting at the gay and leaving, i would've liked it better had he returned and worked things out. he is kind of cute here, though his homophobic behavior is a little suspicious if you know what i mean.
