I don't think I've seen him in anything.

Well, of course Henry Cavill is in this movie because he played Superman in Man of Steel. He was in The Tudors on TV, which I've never seen. But the first thing I ever saw him in--and he was so young it's possible he was still a teenager--was some sort of British "procedural" on PBS. But I thought he was so handsome I never forgot him.

ETA: It was an episode of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries from 2002, so he was 18 or 19 when it was made, depending on when it was filmed.

Yes, I'm an oldie myself who remembers shows from the late '60s!  

I wouldn't have said that, but I remember Alias Smith and Jones, too. Now I would have said that I thought Ben Murphy was hot, but that wasn't even in my vocabulary back then. I also remember that Peter Deuel (sp?) committed suicide.

The show was never as good, I thought, after Pete Duel died. Ben Murphy was fine, and if the show had started out with him it would still have been good. But Pete Duel was great.

Fun fact: Long before he was "famous," Ben Murphy played a one-line role in, I think, "The Graduate." I've seen the scene, even though I can't quite be sure that was the movie -- he's in a locker room, wearing a towel and sitting on a bench, and he says something briefly to Dustin Hoffman. Or whoever the protagonist is, if it's a different movie. I don't remember a locker-room scene in "The Graduate," though. Anybody else?

Was he shaving?  According to Wikipedia, Ben Murphy has an uncredited part in The Graduate, with the role described as "Shaving Student".

Thank you, master of tracking down the appropriate image to answer every question someone raises in a BetterMost thread!    I'd forgotten the shaving cream.

Sometimes I see some good looking guy playing some really insignificant role in something and wonder if he'll eventually go the way of Ben Murphy: play a tiny role, become famous ... and then eventually, I guess, unemployed and unknown.


Or wait, maybe not totally! He's still handsome, in fact. Though this clip is 10 years old ...

And this one is six years old. Plus it's obscure, apparently Christian-themed (not that there's anything wrong with that, but those don't tend to be blockbusters), and he's not one of the six or so actors named in the trailer ...
