Def. not Martin Sheen like a few of you guessed -- he's very anti-gun. Don't you remember all those photo ops with him sawing guns in half?

I'd say Michael Douglas is a good guess. He already made one of his sons piss on his back after a jellyfish sting, so those kids are constantly traumatized. LOL

Val Kilmer could NOT still open a movie. No way, not in a loooong time. He is a weirdo, though.

Russel Crowe?

Aging but not old. Used to be in television. Not liked so much now. Lives on a ranch and has two sons.

2008-08-08T12:51:00.000-07:00

I'm sticking with Billy Bob on this one. He opened Friday Night Lights and the Astronaut Farmer (hey, at least one of them was well reviewed!) He also has a history of domestic abuse (pre-Angelina, even pre-Laura Dern, I think.)
I also agree that authorities should be alerted, but am confident that that will never happen. No wonder the spawn of Hollywood are so fu@#ed up, huh?

Ms Snarky- Val also made TV movies early in his career.

Beth- "estancia" IS an Argentinian word, but I refuse to believe that Duvall is that crazy.

I miss those days too.

2008-08-08T08:28:00.000-07:00

I miss those days too.

2008-08-08T07:19:00.000-07:00

"...remember the good old days when ent would come and post comments too?"

Ah, Pope-rah, those really were the good old days, weren't they? I still find Ent himself more entertaining than most of the celeb stories. Drug addiction stories get boring. Snarkiness is always fun.

2008-08-08T07:14:00.000-07:00

Bill Murray has a house in Hemet, California, about 50 miles east of LA and definitely looks like ranch country. It's around San Jacinto and 20 miles or so from Palm Springs.

so he has (or until the divorce, had) houses in Cali, upstate NY, Sullivan's Island South Carolina, and Martha's Vineyard.

and he's gotten lots of bad press for possibly hitting his wife while they were married, and going overseas to fight, booze, and cheat. And he took some time off from acting. And he's got sons the right age.

I still vote Bill for this blind.

2008-08-08T05:48:00.000-07:00

Bill Murray has several homes, one in upstate NY, one in the LA area, and two others. wikipedia.

2008-08-07T23:45:00.000-07:00

Bill Murray and his future ex live in upstate N.Y.

Robin Williams' kids weren't home schooled. Daughter is 18 and in college. Younger son is about 16. Older son around 30.

Not them.

I'd have thought Burt Reynolds, too, but the Robert Duvall guess is good.

2008-08-07T23:12:00.000-07:00

Billy Bob? Could he ever open a movie? I say that as someone who laughed her ass off at Bad Santa and the Bad News Bears.

The Robert Duvall guess is interesting, especially with the Argentina connection, but I am still going with Michael Douglas. (And I don't know that Duvall has any kids.)

With regard to reporting the incident to the authorities, Ent doesn't say that it happened in the US. Assuming this did occur at one of Douglas' estates elsewhere, there would not necessarily be a legal requirement to report this to the authorities as something that would endanger a child. (If I recall, I think Zeta-Jones hired a Welsh staff to care for her kids. That may include teachers.)

Moreover, Douglas has battled addiction issues in the past. Wasn't he in rehab several years ago? Granted, it was supposedly for sex addiction, but addicts like to seek out a new fix when they abandon an old one. Also, other members of his family have had problems, so it seems possible that he could as well. Sorry, that last bit may have been off topic... I'm bored (and boring?) and rambling.

2008-08-07T21:49:00.000-07:00

I really really like the Billy Bob Thornton guess.
No one really likes the guy, he always plays a villain it seems.

He is 53, so thats aging but I wouldnt consider it old.

Was on Ellen, Outsiders, and Knots Landing on tv back in the day.

Prob considered A list around Bad News Bears/Angelina Marriage time.

4 kids: born 1979,1993,1994 and 2004.

2008-08-07T21:27:00.000-07:00

The teacher is obligated by law to alert the authorities if a child is in a dangerous home setting. It's not just law, it's a moral obligation. That's actually as disturbing as getting mad with a gun and shooting your little kid.

It sounds like there are multiple teachers and several unlucky children. Can't wait to read the tell all book.

2008-08-07T20:39:00.000-07:00

What about Billy Bob Thornton? The name alone screams "I'll get drunk and shoot my son in the leg!"

2008-08-07T20:27:00.000-07:00

Pierce Brosnan has two sons under the age of 12...but I guess he did more than one James Bond film, right? Hmm, guess I'll go with Michael Douglas even though it doesn't feel right....

2008-08-07T19:32:00.000-07:00

Does Robert Duvall have a son? "Estancia" is a term I've heard used a lot by people from Argentina and Duvall is married to an Argentinian woman. That and he is super-crazy and a conservative gun-slinger sort. What do you think? Does he even have any kids? I couldn't seem to find out.

2008-08-07T18:54:00.000-07:00

Michael Douglas

I wouldn't call Romancing the Stone (still love it!) and Jewel of the NIle a franchise. Also, War of the Roses had nothing to do with the previous films other than having the same cast.

Also, Cameron has a history of drug problems, if I am not mistaken, and his brother Eric essentially OD'd.

Douglas seems pretentious enough to call his whatever in Majorca "estancia."

2008-08-07T18:45:00.000-07:00

Yes Flora you're awesome. I'm the one who posted as Val Edward Kilmer because I'm pretty sure it's him. Hello Ms. Snarky, Bill Murray is a good guess but I still think people like him and about Kilmer's family being crazy they were Christian scientists and no offense to them but I personally think it is a little whacked.

If only it could be Tom Cruise. He's got a son. ...

2008-08-07T18:29:00.000-07:00

If only it could be Tom Cruise.

He's got a son.

That would nake me so happy. so what if he hasn't done tv. one little problem. not so much to get past, right?

2008-08-07T18:25:00.000-07:00

I take back Martin Sheen--I forgot that Charlie Sheen was expelled from school. And he has 3 sons, 1 daughter. Sorry.

2008-08-07T18:24:00.000-07:00

I'm going with Bill Murray because of the crazy family implication in the blind. The second wife had a bunch of drama during their recent divorce, allegations of violence and drinking back and forth, if I'm remembering rightly. Might be fuzzy on it, though.

I don't know if anybody considers Val's family crazy?

2008-08-07T18:21:00.000-07:00

Val Kilmer has what wikipedia calls a huge ranch in New Mexico, is 48, has a son born in 1995, used to be A-list movies, only TV role I can find is the after-school special.

If this BI turns out to be Val, then he did indeed have One Too Many!

But in his defense, he hates Tom Cruise. Just for that, he should be considered innocent.

2008-08-07T18:08:00.000-07:00

I have a thought -

Bill Murray
he's 58, former A list movie star, did Saturday Night Live for television.

Has four younger sons with second wife - born 1993, 1995, 1997, 2001.

He's famous for boozing, second wife (now ex-) alleged spousal abuse, and he's been known to have a temper.

Now, if anyone knows if the house he owns in LA is a ranch, that would be perfect.

2008-08-07T18:01:00.000-07:00

Lisa: My first thought was Travolta too! All the clues seem to fit that you've mentioned. Scientologists often homeschool. He hides his son reportedly due to untreated Autism. Parents often get frustrated and angry with Autistic children's actions, so all pretty plausible.

I think Val Kilmer fits the clues"aging, but not o...

2008-08-07T17:56:00.000-07:00

I think Val Kilmer fits the clues

"aging, but not old"
and
"he was A list and he could still open a film, although you probably wouldn't want him to"

better than Michael Douglas who has never once seemed to be so out of it as to make out with Paris Hilton on a dirty couch. (Don't make me Google those pictures...ew, gross!)

besides, he's gotten fat and Elvis-like in his middle age. (Ironic, considering "True Romance", ha!) If it weren't for taking a shot at a pile of dirt, we'd probably be reading about him shooting at a TV and ordering a bacon and peanut butter sandwich.

Boarding the Val Kilmer-wagon, choo-choo!

Sorry, but I don't see it as Michael. Maybe if it...

2008-08-07T17:20:00.000-07:00

Sorry, but I don't see it as Michael. Maybe if it was the wife shooting at the hubby.

I'm hopping on the Val train. Come on baby light my fire...
