Luke is one of my faves! He first cracked me up in "Bong Water" and I knew he'd be perfect in romantic comedies. Loved him in "Dog Park", "Legally Blonde", "Best Men", "Charlie's Angels", "The Royal Tenenbaums", and even as Casey Kelso on That 70's Show.

I'm looking forward to seeing "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and "Vacancy". I got a bunch of his wardrobe from "Vacancy" but only some of it has made it online so far. I promise to get the rest photographed and up soon. Also looking forward to Henry Poole!

Hey. I loved the movie you were in Vacancy, but it was too short. I probably would have been freaked out to play your part on that movie.

Luke, you are so cute and funny. I have always liked you better than your brother Owen. Don't get me wrong, he seems like a cool guy but, you seem sweet and a nice person. And not all your movies are comedies. I have liked you for a long time.
