Blind Item #9

This married former A list mostly television actor was part of one of the biggest shows in television history. He says he owes all his success to his acting coach/C-list actor so the actor sets him up with actresses he meets on sets who have money for classes and are also willing to have sex with the coach.

Ted danson

Seinfeld/Michael Richards

Penelope said...

Danson was my first thought too.

Tricia13 said...

That's a good guess Sandy....

Tricia13 said...

Let's find his coach @Penelope...!! Been trying:(

FearN said...

Creep, I mean?!! Sexing people in positions with lesser power than you? I can't get off on that.

LooLooEasy said...

Did Seinfeld even have an acting coach? He always said that he never knew what he was doing when he did scenes and was just playing himself.

LooLooEasy said...

My guess is David Schwimmer.

FSP said...

I like LooLoo's guess

Lady Heisenberg said...

Was gunna guess David too but could not locate a coach! Only a public speaking trainer he uses lol

Eros said...

That dude that played al bundy on married with children.

Kno Won said...

Schwimmer's on the Board of the Rape Foundation for the Rape Treatment Center of Santa Monica.
That doesn't negate the guess, just makes it shittier if accurate.

sandybrook said...

Dont think its Danson because he was a regular on soap operas for years before Cheers. That doesn't mean another soap actor cant be the guy who coached him though.

Tricia13 said...

@sandy yep....

Kno Won said...

Danson/Fauci

Penelope said...

@ Tricia, that's the hard part! He's been a successful and established actor for so long, we'd have to go *way* back. Nicholas Colasanto would fit perfectly (hence the "coach" reference rather than "instructor" or "teacher") but of course, he passed away long ago. :(

Hmm.

Kno Won said...

Dan Fauci founded The Actor's Institute in NYC. I'd think he was D-.
He's skeevy, that's for sure.

Penelope said...

If Seinfeld ever took acting lessons he hides it extremely well. His "acting" was awful and he could never manage to deliver his lines without smirking.

That said, I love him and the show!!

Kno Won said...

Final answer: Ted Danson (Cheers)/Dan Fauci(Actor's Institute/Actor/Producer)

Kno Won said...

Fauci-Danson very briefly had their own production company, Dan Fauci-Ted Danson Productions.
Fauci is still coaches:

Now in LA.
BAM

Tricia13 said...

@ Penelope....I know!
Teds acting coach isn't a household name it seems:(

Tricia13 said...

Woo hoo@ kno!!!
Nice sleuthing..

Beetlejuice said...

I've met Ted before and there is no way this is him.

I like LooLoos guess.

Kno Won said...

Thanks, Tricia (we shall see, I guess)
I know the horse is dead, but once I stumble across a smarm monster, I'm like a terrier w/a bone.

Word.
Nailed it I think.....cheers ( no pun) lol

Kno Won said...

Ted is not the skeevster, Beetlejuice. Ted refers female actresses to this smarmy coach, in my version of reality.
There's a million results when you google Ted Danson Dan Fauci.
Fauci moved to LA when Danson did, so it's more than a simple acquaintance, I think.
From "Toasting Cheers" (book):
"Prior to moving to Los Angeles, Ted befriended Dan Fauci. They studied at the Institute in New York and in 1986, became partners in a production company. After relocating to California, Danson & Fauci co-founded an est-inspired The Actors Institute in Los Angeles. For two years, Ted Danson doubled as manager & acting teacher"

Alan Alda and he pimps for Norman Lear.

Kno Won said...

That might be gross. Norman Lear is ninety-two. I thought of Alan Alda because the country stopped for 30 minutes for M.A.S.H.'s final episode. That's rilly BIG.

TinselSass said...

Not David S. I went to college with him. His acting teacher is gay and an AWESOME man. David S is very loyal to the theater people in his life. Good guy. Too bad he isn't loyal to old buildings in NY.

Cool, a kindness BI to start the weekend.

Rose Lizenberg said...

Matt LeBlanc?

auntliddy said...

So he's a pimp??!! I dont see danson or jerry for this.

Cary Gaul said...

Beyoncé

Its just U said...

David Hasselhoff referring the girls to Beyoncé

Dena said...

Tony Danza/Judd Hirsch (Taxi)

Lol at @Eros. :-)
"that dude" is none other than the irrepressible Ed O'Neill, and he's still A-List because he's on Modern Family now.
Going with Ted Danson on this one--he did play Sam the Tomcat after all.

Unknown said...

I was just watching Cheers last night, and it was the episode where Danson's character hooks up with an agent lady, only she won't get him commercial gigs unless he sleeps with her continuously, and he starts to feel really sad. Ironic.

msgirl said...

Doesn't sound like Fauci was his coach, more a peer. I know someone who works on CSI and says Ted is one of the good ones. If this blind is about Ted, it's BS.

nancer said...

seinfeld isn't an actor. he says so himself. don't think it's him.

and he has to be permanent A---not former.

Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors said...

Smalls like Schwimmer to me, too.
