Favorite Import of the Day: January 15, 2008

Mitch Hewer
From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
 I am currently watching the first season of Skins. 19 year old Mitch Hewer is one of the shows break out stars. This UK drama is a hotter version of Gossip Girl and Mitch is the UK's Chance Crawford. 


 US television is disgustingly riddled with acts of violence every night, yet one shot of skin gets the many all riled up. Sometimes the puritan way US television is run, which has an outcry over a flash of Janet Jackson's breast yet has CSI and the like on almost every minute may explain why war is so acceptable...

 Mitchell Scott "Mitch" Hewer (born 1 July 1989) is an English actor, best known for the role of Maxxie Oliver in the E4 teen drama, Skins. He has also starred in Britannia High as the all-round talent Danny Miller. At the end of the second series of Skins, his character — along with the rest of the main cast — was written out of the show.


Born in Bristol, Hewer trained at South West Academy of Dramatic Arts, and has appeared in the music video "The Club" by Lisa Morgan.


 In 2007, Hewer was cast as Maxxie Oliver, a gay character, in the teen drama, Skins. Hewer appeared on the cover of the March and October 2007 issues of gay lifestyle magazine Attitude, where the magazine did a "Gays on TV" feature which included stars from Skins, Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and Shameless. He also appeared nude in the June 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan in aid of testicular cancer research.


Hewer starred in the music drama, Britannia High, in the role of Danny Miller, where he also appears on the Britannia High soundtrack.  He also appeared on the popular ITV and ITV2 shows Xtra Factor, This Morning, Richard and Judy's New Position and on the BBC comedy show Never Mind the Buzzcocks alongside team captain Davina McCall and singer Alesha Dixon.

 In December 2009, Hewer appeared in the musical Never Forget, based on the songs of boy band Take That. He played stripper Dirty Harry alongside Michelle Collins. The show took place at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, London.


In 2013, he will appear as Ben in Nightlight and as Steven Stevens in Behaving Badly, the film adaptation of Ric Browde's novel While I'm Dead Feed the Dog.
