Chatting up the guys of "MVP"

After tonight's Daytime Emmys on ABC, there will be a show airing called "MVP." It's a popular Canadian show that just started airing on ABC's SOAPnet channel. It shows how professional hockey players and the women that love (or use) them can slap, sleep, and accessorize with the best of them. I guess no one is gay, or even bi. At least not that I know of. But I do know that the three male leads are hot, hot and hot. I chatted withj each of them at the SOAPnet pre-Emmy party last night in Hollywood.

Lucas Bryant (right) plays the captain of the fictional hockey team and he was very fun. Here is how he decribes the show: "It's totally saucy. There's very little hockey, it's sort of the behind the scenes action that matters most. There's some scandal, there's a little T and A if you will."

His character has "a bit of a dirty past which keeps popping up." Biut does he have to do any actually playing of hockey for certain scenes?
"I am Canadian and like a good card-carrying Canadian, i was born playing hockey," he said. "We did actually play a little bit but it's not so much on the air."

His co-star, Dillon Casey, has been getting a lions share of the attention for the gigantic billboard in Times Square that features him wearing very little and revealing quite an awesome body. Lucas joked: "It's just his head, it;s my body."

Dillon is not as playful as Lucas on the red carpet. I wanted to know what the heck it;s like to have this huge wall with your likeness on it in the middle of NYC.

"It's cool man," he said. "\I didn't know\ it was gonna be a billboard when I took that picture. But when they told me about it, I wasn't really sure what to think. When I went down and actually saw it, it was cool man, yeah. It's fun. You just have to take each moment as it is and just try and enjoy the ride and it;s been a lot of fun. It's cool.""

He has a tatoo on his pec in the shot and I asked if it was real. He was kinda saracastic with his reply or maybe he was teasing but not able to really pull it off: "I'm so committed to my roles, I'm like Daniel Day Lewis so I thought getting a tattoo of MVP on my chest would be perfect."

Well, good for you, man.

Then there is Peter Miller who was happy to discuss his character with me.

"He's good but it's a deep, deep good and there's a lot of layers to get through to get to the good. He's just a bad boy but he's got reasons for it. He's trying to numb himself because he's had an accident that killed his wife and baby the year before, he was drunk. so he's trying to drown it with booze, women and drugs."

This is a show that seems worth checking out!
