Dustin Hazelett


So I watched UFC 91: Lesnar vs Couture. But was completely distracted from the "big fight" by this scrawny brazilian jiu-jitsu ace. It wasn't just because he submitted Tamdan McCrory with a sweet arm bar, it's because he had the greatest beard that I have seen in the UFC in a long time. I've seen this guy fight before, and each fight it gets better, he's won his last fights, I'm just guessing that he's not shaving again until he loses. If that is the case, I hope that this guy never loses. Also, the guy's nickname is McLovin, so he is definitely a winner in my book.

Desmond Hume

So I might have already done a Sayid Jarrah post, but I just couldn't help myself. I love Lost, end of story. I had to get my favorite character on here, brother. Sure he's mainly only in the 3rd and 4th season, but he has always been my favorite since he was introduced in the season 2 premiere. Yes, Desmond is the guy they found in the hatch that had been down there 3 years when his boat that he got from Libby washed ashore on the Island. Jack sees him for the first time and remembers him as the Scottish man who had given him advice 3 years earlier. He also informs them about the hatch and the pushing of a buttom every 108 minutes, which is basically the whole story line of the second season. His backstory is great, but his beard is even better. It's not too big to the point of it being distracting, and it's not too small where you don't notice it. I mean come on, they live on an Island, the men are supposed to have beards, that's just part of the experience. Oh, I found this site while looking, definitely better than mine.

Sayid Jarrah


I watch a lot of TV. And I mean a lot of TV. I was never a big fan of Lost. But I had time to kill this past Spring and knocked out the first 3 seasons while season 4 was going on. Needless to say I got hooked. It is the most mind boggling show that I've ever attempted to watch, and I love almost everything about it. Of course they've been on the Island a lot by now, so most of the men have beards. But with the finding of the hatch, Sawyer, Jack, Locke and Hurley are more often shaved than they used to be. So that leaves us with the great Sayid Jarrah, magnificently played by Naveen Andrews. Having an Iraqi torturer on the plane was a smart choice and he has been one of my favorite characters alongside Ben and Desmond. I can't remember the last time he was clean shaven, maybe in some flash backs/ flash forwards. Tom Friendly had a great beard, then we found out it was fake, I was greatly disappointed at this time. With Sayid now back in civilization, I'm hoping he doesn't shave any time soon, that could be heart breaking. I could go on about Lost for days, so I'll stop and celebrate the great Lost beard of Sayid.

Morgan Grimes

So yeah, Chuck is one of my favorite current TV shows. Sure Zachary Levi is great and I initially watched the show because of Adam Baldwin and his genius one liners, but I have grown very fond of the character Morgan Grimes played by Joshua Gomez. Obviously the beard has a lot to do with it. It's grown from the first season, which probably only I have noticed. Although he's trimmed his hair from the first season, the beard is back and better than ever. But he's a slacker and enjoys his beard, so of course I feel a connection with him. He has gotten a lot more face time in the 2nd season and it has made me a very happy man. Although the show is fantastic, it would not be nearly the same without Morgan, so here's to hoping that you never get killed off.
