WHO ARE "THE SHIRTLESS PERFORMERS?"

Thank you, Mr. Opinion. Seeking the shirtless of filmdom is exactly the type of research I am happy to conduct.

We’ve got a good group here. I think I’m gonna make some calls and see if I can’t get some research grants.

Are we counting the sometimes shirtless too? (and for that matter, somewhat pantless)?

Arnold is a good choice, but I have to say, I think being an action star negates your ability to be considered a shirtless performer, it’s kinda part of the job.

I think those actors who go above and beyond the call of duty to get those tops off, those are the folks we’re looking for.

more often than not, if you’re watching a Will Ferrell movie, you’re going to see him shirtless.

Tim Heidecker frequently goes out of his way to take of his shirt:

Although does it count if it’s satirical?

Satire. I’m gonna have to put some thought into that one.

Can someone come up with a listed criteria for joining the ranks of shirtless performers?

I would do it, but i’m bust marking some papers for a friend.

DFFOO, you always say and post the most disturbing stuff… lol

I’m trying to get that guy off my screen and I can still see his damn armpits! AAARGGGH.

Lol – Odi, you would love Tim and Eric!

This whole thread is gross

Jaspar,

Explain.

Jaspar is clearly disturbed by the human body.

I was disturbed by my body once.

I’m disturbed by THESE human bodies…yikes.

I give this thread my full endorsement.

Mathilda May not only has a penchant for appearing shirtless all the time but she once spent an entire film (in which she was one of the main characters, mind you) in the nude.

^ I think that qualifies as naked performers though, Hellshocked.

I think the debate between naked performances and topless performances is settled by the ration of top half shots to full body shots. If you’re going 4 to 1top shots to body shots, well, it can count as shirtless performance.

Zachary George, Charlton Heston did seem to have his shirt off quite a bit. I think that’s a good pick.

If you’re going 4 to 1top shots to body shots, well, it can count as shirtless performance.

Mathilda May in Lifeforce barely edges in, then.

Natasha Hentridge also made a carreer out of shirtlesness.

As has Greta Scacchi…to her credit.

THE Opinion states that the Shirtless performers is proving to be a very exclusive group.
