Four For Friday - This Was Unexpected
Happy Friday everyone. Not much to say except that I will as usual, be here all weekend and if you would like to follow me on Twitter, I am @entylawyer
Apparently last year there was a scare. This A- list mostly television actor on a very hit network show who got his fame on another hit network show back in the day was spotted with a guy. Not just spotted, but full on making out in a gay bar. Nothing wrong with that, but our actor is deep in the closet. He has had a series of beards over the years, but has never needed anything longer than for a month. Now though, he is on what will probably be a very long running show. What to do? Find him another beard. It turns out it was really easy to do that. A co-star. An actress who loves fame and with the right compensation and commitment was ready and willing. It didn't matter she was in another relationship. She didn't care at all. This was going to take her to the big time. To his friends and to his sometime boyfriends, this was all a big shock. At one point he had been set to come out and now he was back in the closet with a woman who also managed to turn this into a lifetime commitment. She loves it. No one is quite sure how she pulled off what she did, but there is no coming out the closet for the actor now and his agents and managers love it.
James Spader?
ReplyDeleteI see Mary Louise Parker is on Blacklist so her as the beard
ReplyDeleteTrai beyers /Grace Kealey- Empire?
ReplyDeleteHe was on 90210 for a season(or bunch of episodes)
never mind try again
ReplyDeleteThey just got engaged..
ReplyDeleteMegan Boone?
ReplyDelete*Grace Gealey
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought Scott Bakula but he is married. Still looking so not my final answer Alex lol
ReplyDeleteMe too lol!
ReplyDeleteThink it's either a newly engaged couple or the woman got pregnant by him.
I went after him and Steven Weber to match up with Callie Thorne. no good.
ReplyDeleteLOL dang this one is a toughy. This has to be someone who's show launched last year and was a runaway hit. But cannot recall a lot of A-lister's who fit the bill.
ReplyDeleteThere's nobody on Blind Spot to match up with Jaimie Alexander either.
ReplyDeleteTim Daly/Tea Leoni- Madame secretary
ReplyDeleteHis start in Wings......always thought he was gay....
Are they engaged?!
States he is divorced with kids not that having children means anything so far this sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteBen McKenzie and that woman who's just got pregnant - forget her name.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are dating

Dun dun dun!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes
McKenzie/Morena Baccharin..(I said she was a beard........:)
Oh damn good one too but the pregnancy part throws a wrench in things unless it is someone else's or fake.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Violet got this, work it out CDAN'ers!
ReplyDeleteReally nothing fits yet. The actor has big fame and the actress is a nobody who wants the fame being with the actor will give her. Daly/Tea=no.
ReplyDeleteBen McKenzie don't think so.
Good job violet et al. Needed some good English tea for this- the answer was right there:) well done!
ReplyDeletePs- are Ben Mckenzie fans anything like Cumberbatch fans?!
Anybody have a show McKenzie was on back in the day that made him a big tv star? Southland isn't back in the day.
ReplyDeletei'm late today but let me just say belatedly...Holy Sherlock Holmsing Violet!!!
ReplyDelete-a perfect fit!!
The OC dude
ReplyDeleteok fair enuff. she fits as a fame whore beard I guess?
ReplyDeleteI think so too. Maybe she just wanted a child and it has nothing to do with him.
ReplyDeleteI think violet nailed it! Bravo! "Lifelong commitment" can't mean marriage, but a baby can! They didn't need to have sex either.
ReplyDeleteTotally sounds it.Call me old fashioned but i just think it's simpler for one to finalize one's divorce from one's current spouse before getting engaged to & knocked up by a second guy...(especially in light of the fact that she hasn't even finalized custody/visitation rights of her existing 1 year old baby yet!!!
ReplyDeleteNo names to guess, by me, just a thought, i read the Ben Mackenzie guess and it does seem plausible, it's just that...all that for BEN-FUCK-MacKenzie? I mean, a beard for LIFE? A comminttment to a baby? For BenMacKenzie career? If thrue, i am astonished, and quite frankly disgusted.
ReplyDeleteI think the McKenzie angle it spot on. I think this is Baccarin's first bearding contract and she hit pay dirt. She spent hardly any time with her soon to be ex husband (travelling around the world in acting gigs and scifi conventions). If they are both happy, then more power to them.
ReplyDeleteWell done, violet and company! I think this is def McKenzie and Baccarin. BTW, just sayin', I didn't think Baccarin could possibly be as pretty in person as she looks on TV, but she is. It's eerie, really.
ReplyDeleteWasn't CDAN the same site that had that blind reveal about Ben having an affair with Kelly Rowan while they were on The OC?
ReplyDeleteI guess there are much worse things going on in Hollywood than bringing a baby into a bearding relationship
ReplyDeletewith a divorce custody battle still unresolved but still - feel bad for the kids.
it sounds like it could be ben mckenzie and morena - BUT i have it on good authority that he is actually a very serious, private person so dont really think he would go for a fame whore/beard situation and also they said that he is NOT gay so....they also said that it was a given on set that Jada and Will were no longer together...
ReplyDeletebut that was all i could get out of them - cant believe they didnt trust me with the pregnancy/affair story sheesh.
Ben McKenzie, I thought I read they were getting engaged too
