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
ReplyDeleteSeinfeld/Michael Richards
ReplyDeleteThat's a good guess Sandy....
DeleteDanson was my first thought too.
ReplyDeleteLet's find his coach @Penelope...!! Been trying:(
DeleteCreep, I mean?!! Sexing people in positions with lesser power than you? I can't get off on that.
ReplyDeleteDid 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.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is David Schwimmer.
ReplyDeleteI like LooLoo's guess
ReplyDeleteWas gunna guess David too but could not locate a coach! Only a public speaking trainer he uses lol
ReplyDeleteThat dude that played al bundy on married with children.
ReplyDeleteSchwimmer's on the Board of the Rape Foundation for the Rape Treatment Center of Santa Monica.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't negate the guess, just makes it shittier if accurate.
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.
ReplyDelete@sandy yep....
ReplyDeleteDanson/Fauci
ReplyDelete@ 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. :(
ReplyDeleteHmm.
Dan Fauci founded The Actor's Institute in NYC. I'd think he was D-.
ReplyDeleteHe's skeevy, that's for sure.
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.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I love him and the show!!
Final answer: Ted Danson (Cheers)/Dan Fauci(Actor's Institute/Actor/Producer)
ReplyDeleteFauci-Danson very briefly had their own production company, Dan Fauci-Ted Danson Productions.
ReplyDeleteFauci is still coaches:

Now in LA.
BAM
@ Penelope....I know!
ReplyDeleteTeds acting coach isn't a household name it seems:(
Woo hoo@ kno!!!
ReplyDeleteNice sleuthing..
I've met Ted before and there is no way this is him.
ReplyDeleteI like LooLoos guess.
Thanks, Tricia (we shall see, I guess)
ReplyDeleteI know the horse is dead, but once I stumble across a smarm monster, I'm like a terrier w/a bone.

Word.
ReplyDeleteNailed it I think.....cheers ( no pun) lol
Ted is not the skeevster, Beetlejuice. Ted refers female actresses to this smarmy coach, in my version of reality.
ReplyDeleteThere'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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteNot 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.
ReplyDeleteCool, a kindness BI to start the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMatt LeBlanc?
ReplyDeleteSo he's a pimp??!! I dont see danson or jerry for this.
ReplyDeleteBeyoncé
ReplyDeleteDavid Hasselhoff referring the girls to Beyoncé
ReplyDeleteTony Danza/Judd Hirsch (Taxi)
ReplyDeleteLol at @Eros. :-)
ReplyDelete"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.
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.
ReplyDeleteDoesn'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.
ReplyDeleteseinfeld isn't an actor. he says so himself. don't think it's him.
ReplyDeleteand he has to be permanent A---not former.
Smalls like Schwimmer to me, too.
