James Scully is someone who hasn't really had a breakout lead role yet, but he's still garnered a significant fanbase due to his good looks, fun demeanor, and willingness to stand up for causes he believes in on social media. Police brutality, transgender equality, and other human rights are all subjects he's passionate about on Instagram.

Scully has appeared in the gay romcom "Fire Island," Netflix's serial killer drama "You" and the DC superhero series "Titans." We want to help you get even more familiar with this fresh faced actor by walking you through his sexiest and most interesting social media posts.

It's hard to pull off different color combinations as easily as James Scully does in this set of photos. The first shows off his ability to look good in green fur out in the sunshine, while the second features pink and purple outfits in the calm of the indoors. Scully is a dual-threat dress and we're here for it!

June is Pride Month, and James Scully made sure to live the 30 days to their fullest in 2022. From fashionable photos to fleeting moments of summer joy in the swimming pool, this post reminds all of us how to enjoy the big and little moments alike with the people we care about. It's also nice to see Scully have some sarcastic fun in the caption with those who don't appreciate the importance of Pride.

White gay men speaking up for people of color and the transgender community is still an issue within the LGBTQ+ community. It's inspiring seeing Scully use his platform in this post to help amplify the voices of Black transgender women, a group that is persecuted against and violently assaulted more than any other in the queer community. Hopefully more gay white cisgender men will do the same this upcoming Pride Month as Scully did during this June 2020 IG photo.

This sexy and sensual ad for "You" during December of 2019 shows many of James Scully's best features. His charismatic grin, gruff facial hair, and flirty looks to the camera help add to his thirst appeal that has only gone up in the years since his appearance in the show. Looks like the star of the show, Penn Badgley, was being given a run for his money in the handsome department!

James Scully gives a lot of different looks in this photoshoot, from the black t-shirt simplicity of the first photo to the velvet blazer and bowtie in the last. (The adorable dog is a nice touch too!) Many fans also complimented the actor on his suave and stunning looks in the comments section.

The first shirtless thirst trap of the compilation! Scully gives a simple glance into his morning look fresh out of bed. Many fans couldn't believe the actor looked so good before even cleaning up. Most of us aren't so blessed with such looks!

This older photo of Scully celebrates his time in Los Angeles with a peek at his bike riding through the sunshine. The actor's arms look swole in the photo, and others might notice his amusing tank top replete with a pun about queer icon Harvey Milk. It's nice to see current gay celebrities giving props to the people who helped advance equality all around the country.

Burgundy is a really great color on Scully, as this is the third time he's adorned something like this in the compilation. The wheat backdrop is a really great aesthetic addition to the photo. Classy and high-end is always a good choice for Scully's fashion takes!

Scully shows his flamboyance in this shoot in which he's wearing nothing but facial makeup and a flag around his torso. Fans were rejoicing at his uninhibited charisma in the comments section below the photos!
