"Fleming" Hot!!!

- Get Your Own




Jon Fleming's character of Adam on "Dante's Cove" was Toby's straight best friend from high school during the first season of the show and he was played by handsome Stephen Arnell. In season two, Adam is not-so-straight anymore and admitting his love for Toby. He's also being played by the handsome Jon Fleming who took over the role when Arnell landed a part in a movie.
"I think Adam identifies himself as a straight guy in love with Toby (Charlie David) and no one besides Amrosious (William Gregory Lee) and Toby know my secret that I'm gay on the show," Fleming told me recently. "I think if Adam doesn't convince Toby that he should be with him, he might lay low. He's kind of like a Toby or bust type. If I've been closeted that long, Toby is the one I'm going to come out for. But, it's up to the writers obviously."
Adam is determined to break-up the show's romantic leads Kevin (Gregory Michael) and Toby.
"Adam is the kind of guy who doesn't let anything stand in his way. I think Kevin should be worried, Adam has put in his hours at the gym. He's gonna want to make Kevin look bad to win over Toby."












Before landing on "Dante," Fleming had done a lot of modeling and was mostly being cast in All-American type roles like football quarterbacks etc. Straight in real life, he saw Adam as "a layered role with him being closeted and having a drug addiction."

Q. So far, Adam has hooked up with both Toby and Ambrosious so I wanna know who was more fun to do love scenes with? Openly-gay Charlie David or straight actor William Gregory Lee?
A. "I didn't want to rehearse anything. I was just, 'If we're going to do this, let's just go for it and we just went for it and had a good laugh afterward. They are both very professional and they were both on the show the first season. It's not about what would a gay do or what would a straight guy do? It's basically how would I act with someone who I'm in love with? Love is the universal thing and I use that. If I love someone, what would I do to get that person?"
Q. Is Charlie a better kisser because he's a gay man?
A. "No comment! (laughs). They each have their own style."

On taking on an explicitly-gay role: "I think the world has changed and movies like 'Brokeback Mountain' has made it easier for straight actors to play gay characters and it's seen as a challenge. You take on the role, you take on the character and you make it your own. I'm very blessed to have a challenging role like this. The show is growing, it's more than just skin. I think there's been some great storylines and I'm definitely excited tio shoot more episodes. The show is growing and obviously everyone is getting behind it."

On keeping fit for the show: "Luckily, I got a start on that when I was a kid. My father was a football and basketball coach so it's something I enjoy doing but it does add a little more pressure knowing I'm going to be shirtless pretty much 99 percent of the time."

In January, Fleming is switching gears and making a horror film called "Frathouse Massacre" which will be shooting in Ohio. "It takes place in the 70s and I'm playing a frat president who goes a little overboard when it comes to hazing and ends up offing a few people. I play a really evil character."

Jon plays Adam who is a trust fund baby and a party boy, who’s been staying at the Hotel Dante for two years.

Adam went to school with Toby. They’ve known each other since 5th grade. According to Adam, Toby was in love with him and spent their High School years “checking out [his] package.” It seems that Adam is jealous of Toby’s affection for Kevin. Adam self-identifies as straight, but he’s determined to keep Toby’s attention on him. He can’t bear to be left out when Toby’s part of a couple. Adam’s interfering has harmed Toby’s relationships in the past.
