Is this a dagger which I see before me—or are you just happy to see Justin Deeley shirtless?

Best known for his hunky roles on shows like Drop Dead Diva and 90210, Deeley currently headlines a steamy new outdoor production of MacBeth at Atlanta's Serenbe Playhouse. Recent Broadway revivals of the Shakespeare tragedy have starred seasoned actors like Patrick Stewart and Kelsey Grammer as the murderous Scottish king, but Serenbe clearly went in a different direction.

Reviews are in, and local critics have taken note of the former model's assets. “As a quick glance at the show’s posters will indicate, Deeley’s Macbeth could win a royal wet t-shirt contest, and there are several opportunities to verify that his impressive physique is not photoshopped,” Suburban Apologist writes.

“Yes, Justin Deeley looks good without his shirt, a fact we get to acknowledge many times, even when it makes no sense,” writes Atlanta Theatre Buzz. “(During the final battle? Really?).”

Well, the shirtless shtick seems to be paying off: MacBeth, which also stars Maythinee Washington as Lady Macbeth, recently extended through July 16 and has become the best-selling drama in Serenbe's history.
