THE JOCKS
SCOTT EVANS & ADAMO RUGGIERO
Evans (left) sent daytime television fans’ jaws dropping and tongues wagging this summer when his character on One Life to Live, Officer Oliver Fish, threw caution, discretion, and the closet door to the wind and declared his feelings for former frat brother. Part of a family of actors that includes his mother, Lisa and his brother Chris, he rounded out the year with a supporting role in Confessions of a Shopaholic.
Twenty-three-year-old Ruggiero (right), the star of Degrassi: The Next Generation, generated shockwaves within his teen fan base when he came out last year—six years after his character, Marco, charged out of the closet. This summer he leaped to the big screen with roles in Degrassi Goes Hollywood and Make the Yuletide Gay.
