Blind Item #8
This actor used to be almost A list. More of a popularity thing rather than an acting thing. Struggled awhile and is now on television. Barely. Won't be on long on this hit network show if producers discover the reason their barely out of her teens actress star got hooked on coke. He just hates to use alone and the woman he was using with dumped him earlier this year.
Waiting for VIP Blonde to nail the answer out of the box.
ReplyDelete@Tru Leigh. Ditto. I'm not even going to embarrass myself with some lame, obviously wrong guess. I'm just going to bask in the glory that is VIP's genius.
DeleteI read a blind and all I hear is a spinning slot machine. Once I see VIP's guess, the slot machine goes scchkkkk scchkkkk scchkkkk Ding Ding Ding Ding!
DeleteI thought of Jonathan Rys Myers...but what do I know..his tv show isn't on the air yet. And I lie his acting.
ReplyDeleteHmmm someone from vampire diaries. Maybe Nina dobrev for the actress.
ReplyDeleteWilmer?
ReplyDeleteVampire Diaries is not a network show; the cw is classified as "almost network."
ReplyDeleteCould this be Rob Lowe?
ReplyDeleteRob Lowe has been clean for years
DeleteNed Flanders/Lisa Simpson. Anyone clinging to a bible that hard is hiding something.
ReplyDeleteYou are my spirit animal.
DeleteJRM fits - he is working on Dracula, which will be on NBC.
ReplyDeleteIt's not on, so not yet a hit show.
DeleteThe only show I can get to fit is Vampire Diaries, with Ian Somerhalder as the guy. He recently broke up with Nina Dobrev, so maybe Kat what's-her-name or the other what's-her-name is his new snort buddy.
ReplyDeleteJason Segel
ReplyDeleteOkay, I don't know who's on first, let alone who's on what these days, but I can C&P with the best of them. So, non-reality shows on the networks. Have at 'em.

Just to be different, I'm going to say Craig T. Nelson in Parenthood, not sure who the actress is.
ReplyDeleteAny new actors join modern family? Idk. I rarely watch network, and can only think of a handful of shows with young actresses as stars.
ReplyDeleteThese are the ones I can identify:
ReplyDeleteBones - David Whoreanaz, they wouldn't drop him
Castle - Nathan Fillion, widely known to be a nice guy in the biz
Glee - Corey Monteith? Popular for the school reference?
How I Met Your Mother - none of the 3 male leads can be dropped
Once Upon a Time - Josh Dallas (Charming) and Robert Carlyle (Rumpelstiltskin)
Parks and Recreation - Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe**
Raising Hope - Lucas Neff, Garrett Dillahunt
Revenge - quite a few male actors, but none popular for something else (Madeline Stowe, OTOH)
Revolution
The Big Bang Theory - ensemble cast. The only guy known for something else would be Jonny Galecki (Roseanne). Simon (Harold) is a stage actor and does stand-up.
**Rob Lowe did get busted back in the day for the underage girl. Yeah he didn't know but there's that.
Chris O'Donnell - NCIS LA
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is Corey Monteith (except for that almost A-list tag, and AFAIK he and Lea have not broken up). Maybe the rehab supposedly for alcohol is for coke? And he IS surrounded by very young actresses.
ReplyDeleteRob Lowe is clean-been sober for something like 25 years, and, given the pics of him in the Sunday Times magazine last weekend, he's not only clean, he's healthy and hot!
ReplyDeleteRay ramano! Just kidding. Sigh..... I am not good at these
ReplyDeleteJohn Cryer
ReplyDeleteHmm... let's look at that list that Gayeld posted and work through that. We have a show which has a female actress barely out of her teens. Let's call it 18 to 23, and focus on the actresses that are listed as being in the main cast or are practically main cast:
ReplyDeleteFemales too young:
Blue Bloods (Sami Gayle is 17)
Last Man Standing (Kaitlyn Dever is 16)
Females too old:
2 Broke Girls
Bones
Chicago Fire
Criminal Minds
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Elementary
Grimm
Hawaii Five-0
How I Met Your Mother
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
NCIS
NCIS: Los Angeles
New Girl
Once Upon a Time
Parks and Recreation
Person of Interest
Raising Hope
The Big Bang Theory
The Mentalist
Revolution
The Mindy Project
Two and a Half Men
Females right age:
Castle (Molly Quinn)
Glee (most of the cast)
Modern Family (Sarah Hyland)
Nashville (Hayden P.)
Parenthood (Sarah Ramos)
Revenge (Christa B Allen)
The Good Wife (Makenzie Vega)
The Middle (Eden Sher)
The Neighbors (Clara Mamet)
This could be anyone. Another too vague.
ReplyDeleteYou guys crack me up! " You are my spirit animal" and the "Ned Flanders and Lisa Simpson" comments have me loling.
ReplyDeleteIt very well could be Nashville as Haydn P, with Joshua Jackson (Avery Bartlett) the actor. Joshua was pretty well known back in the 90's and hadn't done much of anything before he got Nashville.
ReplyDeleteCoke cannot possibly be new to Hayden.
ReplyDeleteJorge Garcia.
ReplyDeleteEd O'Neill?
ReplyDeleteJoshua Jackson isn't on Nashville, his name is Jonathan Jackson and he's not that well-known. (His characters name isn't Avery Bartlett either, it's Avery Barkley btw.)
ReplyDeleteI thought of Nashville too because of Hayden, but I guess she has been introduced to coke way before that show started.
How about Chris Noth and Makenzie Vega on the Good Wife?
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you guys are still checking this but back in the day Jonathon Jackson was very well known, on the cover of teen magazines and big with the tweeners. He was on GH so he wasn't known for his acting...
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Jonathan Jackson has been married to the lady who used to play Hannah on GH forever now.
ReplyDeleteSoap opera acting cliches aside, Jonathan Jackson has multiple Emmys so he's not completely unknown. Played the son of Luke and Laura for many years on and off.

ReplyDeleteMatthew Perry and Makenzie Vega in The Good Wife?
ReplyDeleteWhen did he split with Jennifer Capriati?
Matthew Perry has been dating Lizzy Caplan on and off for a few years now I think
