Julian Fantechi - School Teacher, Playgirl Centerfold & All Man

A hunky physical therapist at a Queens elementary school holds a steamy second job: Playgirl centerfold.

Julian Fantechi, a full-time occupational therapist at Public School 99 in Kew Gardens, graced the August 2006 cover of the racy magazine and has appeared nude more than a dozen times inside.

"I can have this career, and I can also have a heart and work with children," Fantechi told the Daily News yesterday.

Though the nude modeling raised eyebrows and prompted a probe by city investigators, Fantechi's moonlighting doesn't violate school policies, officials said yesterday.

A state-licensed occupational therapist with a master's from New York University, the 5-foot-10 Fantechi began working with special-needs students in city schools about six years ago.

Outside the classroom, the 37-year-old continued his modeling career, working for Saks Fifth Avenue and appearing in Men's Health magazine and other publications. This fall, he also had a small part in the ABC sitcom "Ugly Betty."
