Brad’s dad was my family dentist in Tallahassee. My uncle went to Florida State with him. Super handsome talent. I suppose where there’s smoke, there’s fire. As a gay man, I’ve have too many sexual experiences with men who identify as straight to listen to what anyone says about themselves-especially if they are afraid of losing someone or their reputation. It doesn’t matter if Brad had sex with one man or 100. He was a good father, husband and artist-and so incredibly handsome.

As Noted Brad Davis played American sprinter Jackson Scholz in the 1981 Academy Award winning film Chariots Of Fire. British actor Ian Charleson played the legendaryScottish sprinter/ Rugby player Eric Liddell who for religious reasons pulled out of the 100 meter sprint and finished with a bronze in the 200 meter sprint and won gold in the 400 meters his worst event!!! There is a short scene before the start of the 400 meters where Davis gives Ian Charleson a piece of paper with a bible verse on it. That’s the only scene that Brad Davis and Ian Charleson have together. I’ve always found it curious that both actors died of HIV/ AIDS within a couple of years of each other?? It’s pure speculation but I’ve been wondering about it for 30 years?? When Ian Charleson died Leonard Maltin did about a 5 minute segment about him on ET. Ian costarred with Ben Kingsley in Gandhi 1982 also Best Picture winner. A few days before he died Ian appeared in London s west end in a Production of Hamlet. So Ian was acting to the end. Ben Cross who played 100 meters champion Harold Abraham would appear in an American Express ad with the real life Jackson Scholtz who was then in his 80s. Eric Liddell s 400 meter Olympic record wouldn’t be broken until 1948.
