Colm O'Regan: Some stars are the molar opposite of bland or forgettable

For years, a winning smile has been a sign of health, wealth, success, and discipline. Crooked, discoloured teeth seem associated with bad living and untrustworthiness on TV

Colm O'Regan: "In a time of inclusivity on TV, along with hairy backs, crooked teeth seem to be the final frontier. There are so few non-straight non-white teeth." Picture: Chani Anderson

Nat Faxon is not a name I thought I’d be writing about. It is the most American name ever. From the family of patriotic monosyllabics, Nat, Ched, Hank, Skip, Chuck, Honk, Bink, Clank. A name of a 1990s golfer known for colourful trousers.

But right now he’s sort of my hero. He’s the romantic lead of Apple TV show Loot, about a billionaire divorcée who falls for an ordinary Joe.
