Now Apocalypse Season 1 preview: Awkward's jock Beau Mirchoff is the token straight guy in Starz' new comedy

The actor portrays the role of a straight guy amid friends who are either sexually fluid, gay or not ready to be labelled.

'Now Apocalypse', Gregg Araki's debut television series, stars Avan Jogia, Beau Mirchoff, Roxane Mesquita and Kelly Berglund in lead roles.

The show follows the lives of four sexually active individuals in their twenties, with Beau portraying Ford, an aspiring screenwriter, who is not too bright intellectually. However, his red hot looks get him invited to interesting parties in Los Angeles, where he has moved from Kansas to pursue his dreams. 

The trailer of the show features Beau in boxers, shirtless, or in sharp-looking suits and repeatedly spotlighting his good looks.
