Alex Neustaedter & Mark Pellegrino on American Rust (2021)

Based on a novel, the new Showtime family drama American Rust centers on small town chief of police Del Harris, who finds his position compromised when a local murder puts his relationship with the woman he loves in jeopardy after her son Billy (played by Alex Neustaedter) is the top suspect. Harris finds himself at a crossroads as he decides whether to protect Billy from the law. Alex was shirtless in Episode 1 and showed rear nudity in Episode 2 as Billy stripped out of his clothes to swim in a lake. Episode 1 also featured his co-star Mark Pellegrino shirtless in his underwear for his role as Billy's father Virgil, who is confronted by his mother while shacked up with another woman.
