My life recently changed in two very important ways: I discovered my new favorite show, The Knick, and my new celebrity crush, Andre Holland, who plays surgeon Alger**n Edwards. The Cinemax ******, set at a 1900 New York hospital and directed by Stephen Soderbergh, is truly outstanding. If you don't believe me, just ask President Barack Obama, who says it's one of his favorite shows. That's right: THE PRESIDENT. The Knick also happens to be an excellent source of male eye candy, and Andre Holland pretty much steals the show. As an actor, he tends toward period pieces rather than romantic comedies, so you won't find a lot of Photos of him shirtless (but I did find one). Here are 20 reasons he's my new celebrity crush.
