Before they jimmied their way into a modern love triangle on HBO’s Looking, Jonathan Groff, Russell Tovey and Raul Castillo were busy winning over hearts by being obnoxiously adorable children.
Here’s a look at the three stars from way back when:
Jonathan Groff / Patrick
OK, we get it. You’re cute now, you were cute then.
Raul Castillo / Richie
Who knew that baby would grow such perfect hair?
Russell Tovey / Kevin
Russell has really grown into those ears.
And just because, here are the earliest photos we could find of the rest of the lookers on Looking:
Murray Bartlett / Dom
Scott Bakula / Lynn
And not to leave anyone out, here’s the earliest photo we could find of Frankie J. Alvarez who plays Agustin. We won’t be winning any detective awards for this one, but hey there’s always next year.

Russell Tovey has that boy-next-door gone-geek look which I find SO attractive. I think it’s something about big ears that’s endearing; makes people look smarter, geekier and more playful IMHO. The “now” photo slims down his ears but straight on, those ears are still flapping in the breeze…And THAT is a good thing…/|\
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS

Really Queerty??? I think you might be i little obsessed with this show. (that isn’t- in my opinion- any good.

I’m gonna give Looking another watch because it finished better than it started, but i hope Queerty gives some love to Jussie Smollett in the new Fox hit Empire, which debuted to numbers only second to How To Get Away With Murder as the most watched new show. Smollett plays Terrance Howard’s gay son Jamal and his character is full of substance.

@Blackceo: new fox hit? the bloody show just aired the first episode! that post stinks of being a fox p.r. press release ploy. shame on you.

Tovey looks so Harry Potter in those round spectacles.
The first time I remember seeing him on TV, he played a teen who had been infected with HIV, and I believe a female detective had to break the news. Does anyone else recall it?
Just saw his cameo in PRIDE and he’s so effective with the fewest lines.
Looking forward to Augustin’s new storyline, maybe a big bubbly bear will fix his wagon.

@tricky ricky:
Man please. I been commenting on here forever. It did open to good numbers, only second to How To Get Away With Murder and am making sure Queerty takes notice since its typically only a certain kind of demographic that gets covered on here. So piss off buddy
