barely A list television actor (definition=someone who has had their own show or been the star of a television show for more than 5 years combined or 3 years on one show.) who is not CURRENTLY on a show
Even with this definition, some people start guessing people who are currently on a show [Matthew Perry - Studio 60 is still on even though it has been canceled]. We can also rule out any of the three people who were on Friends because that show was on for 10 years and they clearly were the stars of the show. This isn't "barely A-list" this is clearly A-list. Also Seinfeld and Don Johnson have had their own shows for more than three years, also clearly A-list.

I think Ent is giving you the exact description of our actor by defining A-list. To me, barely A-list means that he was (according to Ent's definition) either starring in a show for exactly 3 years or he was starring on several shows for 5 years combined.

I checked some older actors that don't star in a show atm. but have a very recognizable face like Peter Gallagher and Tate Donovan from The O.C. but they seem to have a lot more on their resumé than the above mentioned.

Another person that came to my mind but I think we can rule out is Victor Garber from Alias and the canceled show Justice.

Sorry for my smart ass response about John Stamos. He is on TV on ER right now, but the thing that got me was that he's got an "older looking face." We are ALL in trouble if John Stamos is "older" looking. I haven't seen many men his age aging as gracefully as he has. He's gorgeous!

^ he is on ER I do believe. We kinda tend to take the smartass approach to telling people stuff. Don't take it personally, it was a good guess except for that. And really, I think he's more of a recurring (?) guest star than actually a star of the show.

Mary Mac,

I guess by your comment, you imply John Stamos is on tv right now? If he is sorry, I didn't know. I hereby retract my nomination for Jackass!

Thanks!

2007-05-23T09:19:00.000-07:00

pinky, i absolutely agree.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, and totally off topic, but why do people bitch when a celeb spends 10 million of their own money on a private event like a wedding? there are ALWAYS those that say the money should be spent on charity. WHY?
i support certain charities to the best of my ability, but i spent more on my son's honeymoon. shouldn't it be an individual's choice.
sorry guys. caffeine does not improve my character.
thanks for the use of the soapbox, though.

but as far as the comping and stuff, i'm with pinky. that's a small kindness to those celebs. and you KNOW all that swag they pick up doesn't get used.
and those like lohan abuse it anyway.

2007-05-23T09:18:00.000-07:00

I agree with you bunny. I am by no means a regular poster - but I finally came up with - albeit unoriginal - a "name" but I did read stuff here for a while before I managed to come up with it. And while I don't read all of zx's posts I would like to know who she is as well.
And once again I have no clue who this jackarse is - except it is sad that people - celebrity or not - feel that the world owes them something and have to act accordingly.
Can't we all just get along. ;) Or at the very least agree to disagree occasionally.

2007-05-23T09:11:00.000-07:00

here's a thought... what was the guy's name who did the "miami heat" tv show with don johnson?
phillip michael thomas? he was a real ass, i remember him spouting off about what a wonderful actor he was, wonderful person, very impressed with himself.
that was quite a while ago, though.

one little thing and i'll try to get off the subject. i absolutely disagree with revealing only to the "regulars" or "limiting posts to members".
there's only so many hours in the day. how do you propose ent do this? as far as i'm concerned, he (and ZX) provides a "service" for us as it is. we come here for entertainment, a way to make the day go by faster. can't we please just appreciate what he's doing here? how is he supposed to determine "members"? am i a member or not, since i use the "other" button? i don't have a blog, and i'm not about to give out my website.
as far as the idiot anon naysayers, can't we just let it roll off our backs? yeah, i've lashed out too, but you know, if we don't respond to the trolls, they'll go hide under someone else's bridge.
now, play nice. the bunny has spoken.

2007-05-23T09:08:00.000-07:00

Hearing stories like this jackass and the one b) told us about Don and his Johnson stiffing a grocery stor for 10K just drive me insane. It's like serial killers - when does that turn come about in someone's psyche when they think that kind of behavior is acceptable? And why, why, why do celebrities get comped? They're RICH - they don't need to be comped. What they SHOULD do is pick someone else out of the crowd and say "thank you, that's very kind, but would you mind comping their table instead?" Then Enty would have a bunch of kindesses to write.

enty: can you limit posts to members.plz

2007-05-23T08:11:00.000-07:00

NOW-for an idea on the ZX front...I too do not think you should publicly reveal ZX to any of the posters here. Perhaps just to those of us who have been nice and actually use a screen name for our replies. If I was ZX I'd tell half the people on this board to stuff it where the sun don't shine!

It is unfortunate, but no good deed EVER goes unpunished. I was wondering when this was going to get to her. It's unfortunate, but trolls are ALWAYS going to be an issue in the blogging world.

That said, I do hope ZX continues to post and if she doesn't want to reveal, I think that's fine by me. I'd much rather hear more about her life as a working actress and really appreciate all she's done already.

2007-05-23T08:08:00.000-07:00

Some of you people actaully slay me. I'm not usually a big person on casting judgement, but it is a bit silly to guess someone like John Stamos...an OLDER face and NOT on a series!!!

Tom Bosley gets my guess.

P.S. I lived in John Mahoney's neighborhood outside Chicago and worked in the bars. Although I never got the chance to meet him, his reputation as a regular, nice, friendly guy was pretty solid. Everyone who knew him said he was very social in the bars and a good tipper. I think that precludes him from being this guy.

2007-05-23T08:07:00.000-07:00

My vote is for Ray Romano. He played a sports writer on his show, and one of the clues mentioned *game*.

Plus, he just looks like a creep.

2007-05-23T07:50:00.000-07:00

Didn't I recently see pictures of John Stamos at an event? I think it might be John Stamos, although I don't like the idea of it being him. I thought he was a nice guy! He is so cute!

Pinky --

You guessed Alex Trebek many posts back. I believe he had once donated to the United Negro Fund at some point several years ago. Not that that would preclude him from stiffing Girl Scouts, but just giving some background info.

2007-05-23T05:16:00.000-07:00

a few points:

1) Why does everyone assume this is someone without kids/grandkids? Assholes reproduce.

....and don't give me the old 'but someone with kids wouldn't DOOOOO this'...BS. I know lots of parents who are 100% jerks to everyone--their own kids included.

2) Tom Bosley does those ads for SMC (start your own company selling useless crap from out catalog! make millions!), which always seemed like a pyramid scheme to me. Might be something there.

3) Aren't there lists out there of 'celebs who give the most'? Aren't those kinds of tax records open to the public? (which is how bloggers and entertainment news outlets find out how much people make and give to charity...)

2007-05-23T03:07:00.000-07:00

Hey, I was down with the Boz guess 40+ posts ago. Since then I've been kibbitzing, not guessing. People get chatty - it happens (usually when we do indeed read all the posts). Do we all have to go to detention now?

I know it was just a frustrated sign-off, but I actually think KEE-RYST!! is one of the better screen names I've seen here in a while. F'reals. I hope you keep it.

But if yr gonna lose yr shit every time someone goes O/T or gets tangential, you'll probably be wanting to call in some pharmaceutical back-up. Not sayin, just sayin'.

Oh, and ROFL @ theinterdorkcometh.

Someone outed Tom Bosley 40+ posts ago cuz her kid got stiffed by him and yet you ignore it and keep guessing.

Do any of you even READ the responses before posting?

Hey Midwest Surfer, glad to see you stuck around! The comments section has good days and bad days -- today seems to have been much more thoughtful and civilised. Golf claps all around.

@ thepeanutfarmer, I'm right-handed, not left- (nor back-, which is what I think you meant). My message was intended as a compliment to Barb, plain and simple.

I freely admit I've been a bitch before (I've been posting on this blog since shortly after it started in November) and I'll doubtless be one again, my point was I try to follow my better impulses and save the bitching for the real bastards (the subjects of the photos, gossip and BIs here). Everybody knows I'm an easy target around here and I'm mostly used to it and just try to minimize the effect of these microdramas in my offline life.

But seriously, whatEVS. It's just the interdork, as someone correctly and rather pithily pointed out yesterday. They were right, and I'm just trying to chillax about it all. I might respond when provoked or defend my bros here (esp. The Man hisself), but I actually hate feeling the yuck, so to start a smackdown on someone (okay, someone not Renise Dichards, heh heh) isn't my preferred way to spend my day.

I am privileged to be the one some of you contact when the blog goes 404. Thanks for saying that, b:).

Tim Allen was a BI about giving big money to his Church, doesn't seem like he would stiff little kids a few bucks. I do like the Don Johnson guess.

2007-05-22T21:05:00.000-07:00

goerge lopez and don johnson are the two best guesses imho. but i have to go with george lopez, don johnson is a big enough star or at least used to be that the tabs would have picked up on this kind of bad behavior long ago. george on the other hand isn't as big a star, especially intenationally so he could get away with it for longer without the tabs exposing him. also he's a minority so a lot of the white tabloid reporters won't print this kind of stuff about him becuase they know they will be called a racist.
