Underworld Awakening hit the screens today, but Kate Beckinsdale as vampire warrior Selene wasn't the talk of my crowd of friends and neither was the war between the Vampire and Lycan clans. Suave, clean cut actor Michael Ealy in the role of Detective Sebastian had tongues waging and hearts throbbing.
It was his steel gray eyes I remembered most, as I began to connect the dots from performance to performance. He was Ricky Nash in both "Barbershop" movies, terrorist Darwyn Al-Sayeed in the Showtime miniseries "Sleeper Cell" and the heart wrenching ex-soldier Beau Willie in Tyler Perry's ensemble drama "For Colored Girls". Don't let me forget that I saw him in the movie "Takers" and on TV's "The Good Wife". This handsome actor is working steadily and that's a blessing for him and his audiences.
