Four For Friday - Twisted F**k

Everyone loves this actor. If you ask someone if they like him, they will say yes. He started out on television as a teen on a hit network show and has had some decent movie roles over the years. He is a lead, but one of those quiet leads who straddles the line between indie and box office getting those quiet box office movies. Generally the movies he leads are your movies that look like they are going to have some Oscar noms but always fall a little short. You all know him. Name to face? It is a tough one, but you all know the face. He is married. The thing is though, he is the guy who always leaves his wife at home even if he has a premiere. He got married to have people stop asking questions about his private life.

This story happened about a year ago and the actor paid a settlement and the victim signed a NDA, but is willing to speak here. Apparently our actor, even though he lives in town got a hotel room. He then found our victim on Grindr. Our actor is HIV+. Our actor didn't tell the victim that though. Our actor told the victim he liked rough sex and offered the victim $1000 for rough sex. The victim agreed and before he knew it he was tied up and being used. Our actor didn't use any protection and beat and basically raped the victim multiple times while the victim was restrained. At the end of it, the actor released the victim and actually gave him $1500 instead of the $1000 but had him sign an NDA. The NDA also included a provision that forbid the guy for suing if he caught any kind of STD from the actor.

Fast forward about six months and the victim discovered he is now HIV+. The only person he had unprotected sex with was the actor. When he tried to reach out to the actor he was shut down by his legal team and a pair of security people who visited the studio apartment of the victim. He was reminded of the NDA. When he threatened to go to the media, a repeat visit from the security guards and another letter from an attorney who threatened to sue the victim even though the victim was HIV+. Our victim got a lawyer. The lawyer managed to get $20K from the actor but that was it. He did also find out, the actor has done this to other men before. At least three other men that the lawyer discovered.

How about Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

Who knew he was married?

Sign Name Below said...

@lutefisk
You're right! They just got secretly married. Do you think that would work for the "always leaves his wife at home, wven for premieres" part? I think Enty would have called her an SO or longtime GF or something? He's certainly likeable. But I don't know. I don't see it personally and I think the wife thing is still wrong for him but cannot rule him out

Sign Name Below said...

J Taylor Thomas- no indie or Oscar-buzzy credits
J Rhys Meyers-did not get start on tv (side note, his wife is smoking hot)
Josh Duhamel- his wife was everywhere w him and almost no indie credits
Ian Ziering- those Sharknado films were really unappreciated by the Academy!

Liv said...

Sam Huntington?

Jamie Bell?

Sign Name Below said...

I am getting dopey. I checked put Bruce Greenwood, Aaron Ekhart, Bruce Campbell (don't @me!), about 1/2 dozen other actors I remember w solid indie cred. Of course, none fit.

I still feel JGL. I hope this gets revealed and I really do send well-wishes and prayers to this victim.

J-Mo said...

I meant "a tip" for guessing

Court b said...

I call bullshit on this blind. That's attempted murder, and no nda beats that charge, let alone for 20k. Sorry dude, not that dumb

Crazycatlady said...

I decided this cannot be JGL - he didn’t start on TV as a teen he started in movies as a kid... that Disney movie, and Leonard Nimoys “Holy Matrimony” - and some others.

Crazycatlady said...

If it was Michael Cera it would say foreign born. He is a Canuck like me.

Someone Else said...

I don't think this fits, but Greg Kinnear would be another likeable guy, who is not always high profile name wise, but recognizeable and always near Oscar. Except he was nominated for "As Good As It Gets" and he's been married since 99 and his wife has been photographed with him.

Where the hell is Hmmmm? We need some nudging.

Someone Else said...

@Sign Name Below- Thank you for all of the suggestions. Lots of good digging.

By the way, Anyone see JGL in Hesher? Talk about inhabiting a character and making it believable. That was some good acting. I was a big fan until he did that weird variety show thing.

Sher said...

You can get out of a contract if you can reasonably prove duress. I think being tied up, beaten and sodomized is as clear cut for duress as it gets!

However, the 20k he later took becomes a problem. (this 'took more hush money later' idea was also in one of the dancing boy blinds.) If you want justice, dont f'ing take more hush money!! It MEANS something when you cash that check.

That said, I dont know why people would be so afraid of an NDA. No piece of paper should protect a violent predator from his next victim.
What I really think is that many victims learn that the one to expose gets their life crapped all over and their identity tarnished forever. It's no small sacrifice. So, they'll take the money.

Mary Lamb said...

I'm sure the guy is young. His family may not even know that he's gay, no less tricking. That would be a good reason to not want to go public.
He probably hired a hack in Hollywood who took half of the 'settlement' after getting 5x's the money, at least, to make it go away.

Melwyn said...

He dated Karen Elson, Jack White’s second wife, the model. She’s HEAVILY into bdsm, has been beaten very badly, especially for money. Has signed many NDAs. Is former gf of ex $cio Paul Haggis, who uses Haiti charity to clean money, maybe people traffic. “Honoured” Karen with made up award for “tireless charity work to protect women and children”, where she gets fucked by some of the shadiest billionaires for cash. Now got a place on the Models Alliance board to “protect” teenage girls. Her great friend Naomi Campbell does so much charity work too, also in Africa and Syria like Karen. Massive coincidence I’m sure. For all her “feminist” women’s rights fake credentials, she’s more than willing, even begging for beatings by rapists, who she will always be loyal to. She’s friends with all these $cios, she’s friends with Masterson and his wife, if she ever speaks out against haggis it will be for the $cios. She doesn’t give a fuck about women.

SnarkyAngel said...

Gosling is a great guess, I sense a profound darkness in him.

the lazy lioness said...

Not in California. They changed the law! It's unbelievable .

SnarkyAngel said...

Gosling is a great guess, I sense a profound darkness in him.

the lazy lioness said...

Very interesting. I thought Haggis was a decent guy for outing Scientology!

peony said...

I really do NOT think the is JGL.

LondonGirl said...

Gyllenhaal for this.

Soapy said...

This!

Southern Man said...

A friend of mine is fairly close to Billy Crudup. Nothing but good things to say about him.

Sign Name Below said...

@LondonGirl
I looked at Jake hard last night since he played a character named Jack Twist.
He did not get his start on tv, no hit tv show, only guest appearance once. Has had numerous films actually get Oscar noms. Finally, he has famously never gotten married.

Sign Name Below said...

@Southern Man
Crudup was an example of how widely I was casting the net in attempt to ID the perp and/or disprove JGL.
Enty gave us quite a few clues. You'd think we'd be able to figure it out.

Biden is a Pedo said...

@lutefisk Was thinking Cera too. There's something creepy about that guy.

lutefisk said...

@Biden, I don't think it is Michael Cera but he immediately came to mind. His sexuality has been questioned for years. I think most likely it is someone older. I highly doubt that it is JGL.

Sign Name Below said...

@Jd thanks for clarifying

Sign Name Below said...

@Crazycatlady
You're right! 😮 I am stumped. Unless Enty was careless in his writing, all the proposed names don't seem to work with all the clues.

I even checked out the Greg Kinnear guess and it does not fit either.

Sign Name Below said...

I love Greg Kinnear too @Someone Else!

At this point, I think your name is the answer. "Someone else"

Unknown said...

Rider Strong???? It's a long shot but a possibility...

Someone Else said...

@Sign Name Below- Agreed, but to be clear I was nowhere near that Hotel. haha

Adrian Zmed said...

Could it be a Jesse Eisenberg?

This one is haunting and JGL just fits like a glove.

Groovy said...

since when is this site full of inbred redneck ignorant ass xtains? barf. isn't there a hannity website for you mouth breathers to drool over?

plot said...

@the lazy lioness

Haggis is a good guy (not a great director though.) There is a huge online Scientology presence that is trying to smear him in many different places using many different tactics.

I wouldn't believe anything said about Haggis right now.

plot said...

Jesse Eisenberg is not universally liked, inside or outside Hollywood.

He does keep his personal life protected though.

plot said...

I'm beginning to suspect that we've been had. Not by Enty necessarily but by the source of this BI. If he was so badly assaulted by this celebrity, where are the hospital or doctor's records? It sounds like he would have definitely needed medical attention afterwards according to this narrative. Where are, at least, the witnesses to his condition?

If any of that existed, plus prior acts by the celeb, 20K is peanuts even with a NDA.

Sometimes I get the feeling that these blinds are vendettas. Not there completely on this one, but the lack of viable solutions to the puzzle means there might be some flaws in the telling.

TruthSayer said...

I am DESPERATELY hoping this is not true.

There are only a handful of A-listers in Hollywood who are considered by almost everyone to be among the true "nice guys." Tom Hanks, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt, Mark Ruffalo....and JGL (quibble with the star rating if you want, but he's still high on many casting lists).

Not to mention, I have personal experience. I met him a few years ago in New York at an industry event. I'm a nobody, but he couldn't have been nicer or more down-to-earth, inquiring about my line of work. It made me believe the "Regular Joe" moniker he uses really means something.

After reading this site for almost a year, I expect almost everything from almost everyone in this town. But this one was a real punch to the gut.

Sign Name Below said...

@Someone Else
LOL! Just to be clear, I wasn't accusing you. Tou made me laugh though and thanks for that. I am a bit obessesed with this blind.

lutefisk said...

I think this is more like a Bobby Cannavale or Mark Ruffalo type of actor. Bobby Cannavale did start out on tv as a teen, but is not married. Mark Ruffalo is married but was not on tv as a teen. I know it isn't one of them but I think it is probably a name we are all missing.

Sansa said...

Just saying, if you know so and so from church, or you met them once, or your cousin's friend's sister knows them and says they're nice... it doesn't really mean much. If this guy's family doesn't even know, he's not going to go to church and broadcast that he does this kind of thing. He's just going to act like a nice, normal guy, I'd imagine.

plot said...

Isn't Bobby Cannavale with Rose Byrne and don't they have a couple kids? Researching...some sources say they are married and some don't. Don't see many photos of them on red carpets though.

In the same vein, what about Daniel Sunjata?

lutefisk said...

Yes, he is with Rose Byrne but I don't see any reference to them actually being married. According to IMDB he started out on a series as a teenager. I don't think his sexuality has ever been in question. I don't think it would be him, but he is someone who has been in many films but may not be known by name.

Sign Name Below said...

At least we are getting some different names in here and thinking a bit out of the box.

plot said...

Cannavale is generally loved for his indy roles as well (okay, I love him.)

I'm looking through lists of Indy films and their stars. Paul Rudd - too well known. Is Dylan McDermott too well known these days? Probably too much TV in his past.

How about Elias Koteas? Too old? Also, divorced.

Ben Chaplin - not married.

Jim Caviezel? Married, never see the wife, too much TV not enough indies? Generally LOVED by his fans.

Kirk Acevedo? Long time married, great guy, tons of indies.

Ron Livingston? Married with a kid, generally recognizable without name recognition, tons of indy stuff. (though I hope not, love him.)

Neal McDonough - married, does indys and TV, never quite broke through to real stardom.

Will research more later...

Southern Man said...

Cena seems like a smart, humble, decent guy. And a total meat packer. Which is fine- just saying.

MissDe said...

This will never be revealed

totaji said...

He didn’t start on tv

totaji said...

I was thinking Paul Rudd for a bit. Something about his wife being his publicist screams beard. He fits everything here to a tee. People keep trying to say that the blind is about an unknown but the blind is about an A list leading actor in indie movies. The actor will have quite a bit of fame.

chopp said...

Cant see how an NDA can be enforceable if the signature was not signed and witnessed and the party want represented by an atty.

Sign Name Below said...

@Plot
Several of these actors look like they might work. I love nearly all of them sonI don't have the heart to check. I probably will research thwm later; can't scrub this blind feom my mind

@MissDe
☹️

Kel said...

Best reply yet

Morrisseyx said...

Sounds like both blinds are about gay men. I think Joseph Levitt is the first guy he is not a superstar he is likeable he does okay with his career. But there are rumours he is a closet case. The second blind item IS SO DAMN SAD! I think the victim SHOULD GO to the police anyway BREAK the NDA and get that bastard behind bars! My guess is Charlie Sheen he is not heterosexual and I know people hate generalizations. But I heard it is extremely hard for a straight man to get HIV from sex if he is not an IV drug user. I believe Charlie Sheen or perhaps JAMES FRANCO is the villain in the second blind. Gawker wrote about James Franco being violent with other men he has sex with. Franco is not a nice man.

Lildaddy said...

It's exactly the reason this blind is bs. The "victims" lawyer would've understood an NDA doesn't allow criminal acts to go unfettered. Geez, I think my 14 y/o daughter knows that. So to all you JGL fans, yes he's gay, no there's absolutely no proof he's HIV and a rapist.

LMJ said...

😂😂🙄

BlissBoo said...

Guys! Enough, lol! It's JGL!! About 98% of us knew it was him immediately, but because we ALL like the guy, we don't want him to be it, so we're reaching and searching. Even listing people who were not a teen/early 20s on a long-term series. It IS JGL. Read the blind over again and fit EACH thing and he fits completely. End of story.

I'm laughing that so many people are trying to change the narrative because of the overwhelming feelings that JGL IS this nice guy, but we've been fooled, what a great actor!

Personally, I'm very sad about it because he was one of my faves. I even receive his Twitter notifications because I like his creativity and he reaches out ALL the time to get others to contribute their art.

Occam's Razor. That's the answer. Bummer man. :(

Rafael said...

You got trolled again.

Sara, Making It Work said...

It is one blind.

plot said...

@BlissBoo

If this Blind is intended to be JGL, then I don't believe it and think the source is lying.

YMMV

lutefisk said...

No one "knows" for sure who this is. JGL started his acting career at age seven, so this does not fit him completely. there are many other names out there to research.

Nonya Bidness said...

I don't see JGL for this at all...I think most people know his name. He purposely married someone nonfamous because he wanted a non-hollywood personal life.

Not having your spouse at premieres doesn't *always* mean you are on the DL. Also never heard any gossip about JGL in the 20 years I've been reading - wouldn't we have heard something before now?

Seabee666 said...

Those assuming the kids of JGL are HIV+ are off base. If the marriage is a sham, he may not even be the father. Nor is it a guarantee that the father's status would impact a fetus.

Anonymous said...

Jgl is not a teen actor tho he started as a child movie actor

Lauren Elizabeth said...

@totaji Why you gotta knock Sheboygan?

Major G said...

DEFINITELY not JGL. I saw him star in movies LONG before 3rd Rock. Also, people know his face.

Probably not correct, but my best guess is Jason Bateman. Got his start on a network hit as a teen, does some indie & mainstream movies, has a name/face people know, but probably wouldn't recognize right away.

More Cowbell said...

No way it is Jason Bateman. I've seen him before, and he gives off a really hetero vibe. If this is JGL, I will be incredibly disappointed.

And whoever said we will never find out the true answer is right -- unless the victim comes forward.

EmeraldCityAlice said...

What about Shia LaBeouf? He starred in Even Stevens when he was a kid and recently got married.

lutefisk said...

I thought of Shia LaBeouf also, except everyone hates him.

More Cowbell said...

Yeah, Shia is a good guess, but I agree no one really likes him anymore.

Sign Name Below said...

@Blissboo
I thought and still feel like the answer is JGL. HOWEVER, 2 things:

1. this is a serious charge being leveled at a public figure so I want to do sleuthing due diligence
2. JGL's resume does not the description about getting his start as teen on hit tv show. So if we are going to overlook this mistake/misalignment/false clue for JGL to fit, then we should consider other actors who may not meet each specific criteria.

As I said in post a cpl days ago, Enty gave us a LOT of clues, so we really ought to be able to lock this down fairly airtight. I don't think it is airtight. And that troubles me.

And FYI I am not a JGL fan so I am not trying to clear his name. I want some measure of justice for the victim.

Sign Name Below said...

I thought of Shia but immediately dismissed him as 1/2 the ppl hate him. That goes back a long time, even before he got weird. I know people who were furious he was cast in Indiana Jones and it looked like they might reboot w him.

Halloweenie said...

oh no this is so sad. I hope that the victim knows that 1. He will be believed and 2. He can fight this monster. I'm guessing that this is not the only time this monster has done this. And he thinks his wife and kids and likeable persona will protect him? #timesup

Halloweenie said...

This could be like what happened with usher. One woman came forward to say he gave her herpes. Then another woman then several men came forward. I wonder if there are any other victims willing to talk as well?

Halloweenie said...

Not married with kids or likeable.

Halloweenie said...

Currently divorced. In blockbusters aka captain jack with Disney etc.

Original Unknown skeptic said...

+30 lunchpaillefty what a looney post from Donna. It was a bro Christmas comedy and now it’s Anti-Christmas and Anti-Christian? Some people are so crazy.

Hey Donna I got news for you December 25th was originally a Pagan holiday. Christ wasn’t born on December 25th or even in winter. The Christmas we celebrate today was invented by Macy’s, Coca-cola, and a bunch of retailers and greeting card companies so get off you high horse. Christmas is nothing more than a marketing strategy to get you to spend your money and doesn’t actually mean shit.

Original Unknown skeptic said...

I do remember a while back both of us defending Spielberg for always being a guess as a child molester as we never saw any reason for him being accused and she was being batshit back then as well accusing both of us of being paid shills calling us Dan and Spielberg (even though we never defended Dan). I think that’s what she might be referring to but all were doing was simply calling bullshit on the blind in general because it was a bullshit. But it wasn’t even a blind about Dan Schneider or Steven Spielberg. I think it was about Mark Salling and his suicide (not positive) but they came up and of course as these things always do with lunatics like her the conversation took a hard left.

Original Unknown skeptic said...

😂😂😂moviebuff that made me laugh so hard she is batshit crazy. Aren’t most of them who preach to others about all that bullshit? 😂😂😂

TruthSayer said...

I learned to stop reading DDonna's insane rants after she began attacking the survivors of the Parkland school shooting. She is, and will always be a despicable POS for that (as is anyone who goes after those poor kids).

The best way to make lunatics shut up is to ignore them completely. They thrive on attention.

Spudmonkey said...

Plot. You've clearly lost just that.
Ear to ear may you throat be opened red

gauloise said...

if you sign a document under mental duress it can be voided, being raped prior to signing I would hope void it. Also can you have an NDA that prohibits you from reporting a crime? I remember Boy George went to prison for luring a guy for a date, then restraining him, it is considered kidnapping.

also in many states, and in CA until very recently , transmission of HIV without telling the person is a felony. IF this happened to him in CA before the law changed, he can probably also take him to court for that.
Moreover, Grindr would have all their DMs on file.

Sad if this is JGL he also had that cool social media startup for artists and musicians, he seems like a really cool guy

gauloise said...

Seth Green fits. He started out as a teen on network shows like Facts of Life and Mr Belvedere, and he does a lot of indie work mixed with bigger box office, married with a low-key wife and everyone loves him / thinks he is a nice guy, and a lot of people may not know his face.

But the image of him, just like with Cera, as some kind of handcuffing violent rapist just makes me laugh.

plot said...

Seth Green?

Really interesting guess! Everyone knows his face, not his name, and he seems like such a chill dude.

Vivian said...

I have a friend who was on a show with Heigl then a hit now defunct series on ABC. I can confirm he is a nice guy. A good guy.

? said...

Nope its not Joe I know the guy and he's just a normal dude, my brother worked with him and he would say if anything dodgy was happening or he got a creepy vibe off him.
