Man Crazy

For my taste, I think he may be the most attractive man on the planet. Sir Patrick Hewes Stewart, actor in film, TV & stage on both continents, & a university Chancellor. Patrick Stewart's distinguished career in theatre includes leading & supporting roles on Broadway & The West End, as well as repertory & regional theatre. He is most widely known for his TV film roles: Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation & as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films. I loved him doing gay for pay in the film version of Paul Rudnick's Jeffery in 1995. He was on Broadway this season, in Mamet’s A Life In The Theatre. He has been acting for 50 years & is still doing great work. It has been noted that he is the greatest Prospero of our time, having done the role at the RSC in rep with Antony & Cleopatra. I swoon when I see him. He turns an astonishing 71 years old today.

Raiders of The Lost Ark is in my top 10 films of all time. I remember my heart pounding at the sight of Harrison Ford in the leather jacket & fedora. Yummarific!


I first noticed him in Lucas’s American Graffitti, but the Indiana Jones films really won him over to me (I am not a big Star Wars fan).. I love his work in : Blade Runner (another favorite), Witness, Patriot Games, Clear & Present Danger, The Fugitive, Air Force One, & What Lies Beneath. Until this century, 4 of the top 5 box office hits of all time included 1 of his roles. 5 of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry. The USA domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total more than $3.4 billion, with worldwide grosses surpassing $6 billion, making Ford the 3rd highest grossing U.S. domestic box-office star. Ford is the husband of actress Calista Flockhart. Lucky little skinny girl. Harrison Ford is a superb cabinet & furniture maker. He would be handy to have around, fighting Nazis & making bookshelves. Mr. Ford turns 69 today.


Favorite Harrison Ford Role? I want to Know.

I used to do quite a bit of voice-over work in the 1980s & 1990s & much of that work was recorded at Bad Animals Studio in Seattle, owned by Anne & Nancy Wilson of Heart. I would occasionally see Cameron Crowe in the hallway with his wife- Nancy Wilson. I was awestruck. He was the man responsible for writing &/or directing: Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, & Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Little did I know that we would someday have a history together. Cameron Crowe cast me in his 1992 film- Singles, which I still get recognized for on occasion. It was a wonderful experience in every way & my 2nd film with my good close personal friend- Matt Dillon. Kyra Sedgwig co-starred, which makes me 1 degree of separation from Kevin Bacon. Today is Mr. Crowes birthday.

On Queer As Folk, Michael leaves Pittsburgh to live with his new, very hot Chiropractor boyfriend in Portland Oregon (!). The role was played by the awesome hottie & out actor Robert Gant. Robert John Gonzalez has also starred in Personal Affairs on the BBC, Popular & Caroline in the City. Other guest appearances on TV programs include Melrose Place, Ellen, Friends, Nip/Tuck, Special Delivery ( I would like to give him a special delivery), The Contract, Fits & Starts, & Marie & Bruce.


In 2007, Gant, Chad Allen &Judith Light acted in & produced Save Me, which I thought very highly of & have posted about.. The movie about the ex-gay movement was distributed by Mythgarden, the production company formed by Gant, Allen, & Christopher Racster in 2004. Gant starred in the short film Billy's Dad is a Fudgepacker, an homage to 1950s educational films.


Gant is an advocate for elder gays. Help! I have fallen & I can't get up!

I still dream of his being my chiropractor in Portland Oregon. I can only imagine what he might do for my spine. Robert Gant turn 43 today. If you know him, please let him know I have something special for him on his special day.

Men, Men, Men! Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays!

Born On This Day- July 13th... Looking Good, Gentlemen!

On their birthdays, I present two men who show how to still turn heads & continue to do great work when you are over 60. Patrick Stewart has always been on my list of sexiest men. This Englishman has been working on stage, often with The Royal Shakespeare Company, for 50 years. His film work is so diverse... he has played the flomboyant Sterling in the film Jeffrey & Henry in The Lion In Winter. Stewart played a gay Seattle socialite who mistakes Frasier Crane as possible boyfriend material in the final season of Frasier. He has starred in some little project called Star Trek: The Next Generation & its film spin-offs & a little franchise called X-Men. This spring he appeared opposite my idol- Ian McKellen in Waiting For Godot in London. They had only appeared on stage together one other time, but they became very good friends while hanging out on the set of the X-Men films. Patrick Stewart turns 69 today.

Harrison Ford has been named #1 in "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list by Empire Magazine. He was in a bunch of 70s films with Star Wars in the title. He seems to enjoy working in franchise pictures with 4 Indiana Jones films & two turns as Jack Ryan. My favorite performances by Mr. Ford are his work in Witness, Blade Runner & The Fugitive. His films have grossed more than $6 billion, making him the 3rd highest grossing box office star. Harrison Ford is an accomplished carpenter & cabinet maker. To me, he is the essence of "movie star". He turns 67 today.
