Blind Items Revealed #36 - Kindness

December 20, 2016

Even I have a tough time keeping track of the deeds of this oft failed A-/B+ list mostly television actor. The good news is he sometimes gets put in fairly bad movies too. You all know him though, and you all love him. Married, but his celebrity wife does not really share the same level of enthusiasm for helping others as he does. She is more of a write a check when the Girl Scout manages to find a way through the gate and up to their front door kind of person.
Our actor though, he helps. He helps everyone all of the time. Those times our actor does land a new show, our actor starts sharing his paycheck with the organizations he supports. He also immediately gets the craft services people on board to donating all the day’s leftovers to another list of organization he supports. There is not a day that goes by on set that he is not having people sign scripts or one sheets or anything else he can think of so the organizations can have silent auctions. One movie he did, our actor managed to obtain signatures on over 1500 items of people much more famous than he. All those items brought in slightly over $1M.

When his show inevitably gets canceled, our actor switches to volunteer mode. His goal is always eight hours a day. Every single day. He rotates the organizations so each gets him about every ten days. Back in the day he used to work seven days a week, but now he has cut back to five. On his longest running show, before he got married and had a family, he would work a a 12 hour day on set and then go volunteer another 5 or 6 hours.

I’m not saying our actor is perfect. He has had his foibles, but the things he does at home and away from home long canceled out the couple of misdeeds.

He's a good dude

I think he's mostly a good small town mid western boy, think his issue is the same as John Stamos or Dean Cain, not a good actor, but so good looking women throw themselves at him so he will never be faithful.

My dad was walking around with my nephew in Brooklyn when they were shooting New Year's Eve (my dad initially thought he was peter Krause, as we are 6 feet under fans), and he stopped and chatted with them between scenes for a bit - super nice, played with my nephew, made goofy faces, etc.

Aww, that's good to hear. I've always liked him.

It's really great to hear an actor you quite like is a truly fabulous person. Between that and raising his child, I hope karma and popularity give him great work and further opportunities.

I always root for him. Seems nice and seemingly great dad. Fergie:/ not so much

Funnily enough there's some new beach pics of Josh with Fergie out there today. Surprisingly looking quite happy despite this sites claims that Fergie's abandoned her child for months on end and engaging in her rampant drug addiction.
