When Jon-Erik Hexum (left) sadly died in 1984 I was introduced to a beautiful Australian named Antony Hamilton. Originally from England, Antony, who has amazing eyes, grew up in Australia where he studied ballet. While touring in the early 70's with the Australian Ballet Company, he was discovered by a photographer which led him to leave dance and spend the next decade modeling throughout the US, Europe, Asia and Africa.

Antony moved on to acting classes and besides Cover Up was also seen on the updated Mission Impossible tv series, Samson and Delilah and other movies and tv series.
It was rumored Antony was up for the role of James Bond, but lost it due to his being openly gay. Antony sadly died in 1995. I will however fondly remember him coming out of the ocean in his blue speedo on one of his early Cover Up episodes. Although the show did not continue for long after he joined, it lead me to follow many of his other projects. One can only imagine the roles we all might have enjoyed if Antony were still with us.
