Blind Items Revealed - Kindness
November 1, 2013
You don't hear from this actor very much any longer. Not that old but he has kind of gravitated away from acting because of his charity work. He was on a very hot show for a very long time and then stepped into some more good luck on a very very popular cable show which made sure he won't ever have to work again. He has a great partner who was one of the biggest movie stars in the world at one point which was achieved despite any real acting talent.
Our actor has used his money and grants from others to fly people around the world building homes in some of the most impoverished places on earth. His group which is similar to Habitats For Humanity has built about 1000 homes for families. They have also built schools and hospitals and really focus on areas of the world which have nothing. He tries to give them something. he also makes sure not to leave empty buildings and tries to stock each house or school or hospital with every thing it needs to have to succeed.
It is pretty cool that he is willing to give up a fairly successful career to focus on others.

Loved him on Northern Exposure. Great job.
I hear from him daily whenever a Walgreens commercial is on but bravo boo.
Loved him in U.S. of Tara. Great Actor.
Loved him in U.S. of Tara. Great Actor.
+ a million. Just incredible. His partner for those who are unaware is Bo Derek. They've been together for 14 years.
@a Non a Miss - You're right, he does mostly voice work now. So I don't know that he's 'given up his career' after all. But good on him for all his charity work.
Mmmm. Hot man just got hotter. :)
So Enty lists this back in November and the other day has him cheating on Bo Derek because he wants younger? But he did sorta slam Bo in this blind.
"You don't hear from this actor very much any longer." *WINK*
Thanks Enty, but how do you think we all know where to go for our pharmaceutical needs or where to get world-class chili cheese nachos?
Ps-Jessi nailed this one.
I knew my love was not misplaced... :'( Who is his no real talent A list movie partner?
Oops, brain fart. He and Bo have been together 12 years, since 2002.
Bo Derek
Never knew why I like him so much. now I know. well done man
Yay Aidan Shaw!
Aidan was the man! Couldn't figure out how Carrie could break up with him over Mr. Big
Sorry , blogger slow. Thanks for the Bo Derek answer
Awwww yea!! I got this right!
He makes sure they live at the corner of happy and healthy
That is very nice for him to do. Kim and Kay are big on charity. I know if they weren't so busy they would be flying around the world helping out in person.
@sandybrook, exacts, I guess John is a heart of gold kindofcheater.
Love him and Bo together.
I do love John Corbett and this just solidifies it. Hopefully the blind from the other day is not him.
I never knew who he was until Sex and the City. Kris and the girls loved that damn show. Their favorite was Mr. Big. Who has two thumbs and is happy to watch whatever I wanna watch now?
Norhtern Exposure was awesome. <3 John Corbett.
I met him once at the State Fair in Dallas during NE days. He is wicked tall and super sweet. And so freaking cute I could die. Very nice fellow.
They made you watch Sex and the City? I'm appalled!
Outstanding.
The voice-overs bring in a steady flow of cash…good for him
he grew up poor...single mom was a waitress...that stays with you
I'm jealous, @Gypsy!
Love his voice and he was so hot on United States of Tara.
Ah, Aidan. Love him as the voice of Walgreen's!
I may have to start an impromptu SATC marathon this afternoon. Love John Corbett.
Good for him but a quick peek at his imdb & he's been fairly busy, and continues to be. Many actors would envy so many acting gigs.
One time, I gave a bag of clothes to people who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. It was the least I could do; those people had lost everything and I thought my clothes would be helpful.
have always liked him a lot.....
Carrie did not make the right choice.
@Simon
Holla. Aiden was my dream guy (even with that fringe jacket)
I hope John Corbett does VoiceOver work 4eva. Talk about smutty tingles
Wow. Just lovely.
And I just ate at Applebees (NOT by choice.) At least maybe some of my money will go to a good cause, and of course help the kids waiting on us at Applebees. I just loathe chains...
Well, good for John Corbett. Sounds like a great soul. And I always loved him on Sex and the City.
I love you for this, Sarah :)
Very cool!
Team Big
LOL that fringe jacket! And all those turquoise rings
Boy, is that the truth!!
Well I always had an irrational irritation whenever he was on TV so I'd better rethink that.
I think what he is doing right now might be considered a fairly successful career!
Northern Exposure is my all-time favorite show. I'm happy to hear he is a nice guy.
Aww I love him even more now! He started off as a hairdresser, nice to know he hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings.
I know, I likedhim so much better than Big.
Love Northern Exposure.
He's on Parenthood
@Simon: agreed! And he made his own furniture! (Portlandia reference)
Love John Corbett. I always notice his voice on commercials.
Bo Derek is a right-wing, proselytizing, tea partying homophobe.
@Jslo nobody's perfect.
Lovvvvvvvvve John Corbett!
