Today's Blind Items - Caught - A Dancing Boy Blind Item

Guess who got caught smoking the leafy greens at 13, when his tween girlfriend, who happened to the Sister (i.e. mine), gave him some? I was actually considered for the role of his kid brother in the series, because I looked so much like him, but younger. My agent objected, officially because it was "just a pilot," but really because he wanted me to do this tv movie where I played an abused choir boy, and it involved a state of undress (i.e. nearly completely). 

I would have been basically the main friend early on, but younger, and enamored of him, as well as blond not brunette. Somewhere along the way the kid brother became the one friend - a completely different character, in other words. (It was I think B.T. who ultimately killed off any additional siblings, fearing what happened with the one of two parent series early on.) 

In any event, back before my voice changed, I had learned from acting class how to do voices, and the one non-celebrity voice I was best at was...the Sister. I'd known the actor since I was 8, and he was 11 - more about that later - but he dated the Sister when they were both tweens; that started on the set of the episode about not having a particular talent (season 2 - I was there too). And once he called to see if she could more from her girl model friend (who later appeared on another series on the same network - the second orphan series) - whose talent agent mother supplied it to them. To this day I don't think he knows it was me.

If you're wondering if I turned her in, ask yourself what a younger version of D.T. would do. And the answer (I'm pretty sure) is: blackmail. I got close to a year of staying up late and watching R-rated movies when the parents were at the theater and in Vegas.
