Other than "that character can't be gay! He said hello to a girl in Scene 12!", the most common complaint I get is "that photo isn't of the obscure actor you're writing about!"

I don't understand the problem. Beefcake is beefcake. Why is it essential that an article be illustrated by pictures of the actor listed on the IMDB? Especially if they're so obscure that not one person in a hundred will be able to tell the difference.
It's not intentional. It's just that it's hard to recognize an actor after seeing him in just one movie. There are usually a hundred other people with similar features. Plus he might look completely different over time.
For instance, take Michael J. Fox, the famous star of Family Ties, Back to the Future, Teen Wolf, Spin City, and so on, the first celebrity I met when I moved to West Hollywood. I'm going to pretend that I I've only seen him in Back to the Future, and google "Michael J. Fox" and "body." Here's who pops up:
1. Robbie Benson, a teen idol of the 1980s. I'm definitely sure that this is Robbie Benson, because I had that same photo hanging on my bedroom wall.
2. Charlie Sheen in Full Metal Jacket. Michael J. Fox was not in it.
3. No idea
4. I think he was in one of those Friday-night TGIF sitcoms, Full House or Raising Dad or something.
5. No idea.
