Eddie Cibrian is a prime cut of beef that Totty Watch would like to seriously chew on. Living happily in the land of soap for years, Eddie gets really wet in the latest beautiful-people-in-peril movie The Cave.

Exploring an underground pond inhabited by Alien-esque parasites who bump off most of his mates and bury themselves under the skin of the survivors, might not make Eddie Mastermind material, but he can be excused because a face and body like his could be forgiven just about anything.

Name
Edward Bryant Cibrian

Vitals
Born on 18 June 1973, Burbank, California.

Famous For
At 13 Eddie got himself an agent and spent two years acting in commercials. But the auditions interfered with his love of playing sport, so he shelved the thesp in him and unleashed the jock by joining his high school’s football team.

After a stint wearing huge shoulder pads and grappling with his fellow students on the football pitch, he looked for another agent who landed him plenty of TV roles in soap land. Multiple episodes of Beverley Hills 90210, a starring role in Baywatch Nights - opposite The Hoff-meister himself - and a part in over the top daytime sud Sunset Beach playing a sexy jewel thief, all helped Eddie on his way to Hollywood.

He’s best known in the States for his role as a hunky fireman in NBC’s Third Watch. For five seasons he put out fires on screen and set them ablaze in millions of viewers homes.

His first feature film was Living Out Loud where he plays a masseur who gets to give Holly Hunter a good work over during one of her many fantasy sequences that also include letting her hair down in a lesbian nightclub with Queen Latifah! Understandable really when you consider her love interest is Danny de Vito.

Then came But I’m a Cheerleader where the heroine is sent off to homo rehab to be deprogrammed of her lesbian tendencies. Eddie plays the owner’s son who’s ironically a gay gardener pruning his, and others, privates on a regular basis. Director Jamie Babbit gives a respectful nod to John Waters and Ru Paul takes off the drag and runs around the place screeching, “Straight is great”.

In Say It Isn’t So, the Farrelly brothers’ ode to incest, Eddie fails to get the girl who in this case is Heather Graham. But he did have a lucky escape from his rubber glove-wearing co-star Chris Klein. “In the script,” he says, “Chris Klein’s character is trying to make ends meet. There’s a line of men outside his truck, and they show him putting on a rubber glove and leading somebody into the truck. Then the guy gets out, smiles and then another guy gets in and Chris puts on another rubber glove. It’s just disgusting. Like what kind of mind thinks of something like that and puts it in a script?”

Well I don’t know about you but Totty Watch can think of loads of people who’d consider being “rubber-gloved” by Chris Klein an honour.

Worth Knowing
Eddie comes from Cuban extraction, hence the smouldering good looks.

He used to be in a boy band called 3Deep and released an album called Yes Yes Yes… No No No in 2001. The little tease. He once said, "You cannot imagine how great it is to step out on the stage with thousands of screaming fans loving you."

He appeared in the video for Jennifer Love Hewitt’s ‘Couldn’t Find Another Man’. Beats us why she’d want to.

Availability
Totty Watch will be subscribing to all the American television channels because we reckon that’s our best chance of getting a piece of Eddie action. He’s just signed up for a new role in yet another TV series about a family trying to recover from a devastating hurricane called Invasion. Eddie plays a park ranger and it seems he can’t keep away from wearing a uniform or getting wet and we’ve never been more grateful for small mercies.
