You don't hear from this actor very much any longer. Not that old but he has kind of gravitated away from acting because of his charity work. He was on a very hot show for a very long time and then stepped into some more good luck on a very very popular cable show which made sure he won't ever have to work again. He has a great partner who was one of the biggest movie stars in the world at one point which was achieved despite any real acting talent.
Our actor has used his money and grants from others to fly people around the world building homes in some of the most impoverished places on earth. His group which is similar to Habitats For Humanity has built about 1000 homes for families. They have also built schools and hospitals and really focus on areas of the world which have nothing. He tries to give them something. he also makes sure not to leave empty buildings and tries to stock each house or school or hospital with every thing it needs to have to succeed.
It is pretty cool that he is willing to give up a fairly successful career to focus on others.
John Corbett
Loved him on Northern Exposure. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI hear from him daily whenever a Walgreens commercial is on but bravo boo.
ReplyDeleteLoved him in U.S. of Tara. Great Actor.
ReplyDeleteLoved him in U.S. of Tara. Great Actor.
ReplyDelete+ a million. Just incredible. His partner for those who are unaware is Bo Derek. They've been together for 14 years.
ReplyDelete@a Non a Miss - You're right, he does mostly voice work now. So I don't know that he's 'given up his career' after all. But good on him for all his charity work.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. Hot man just got hotter. :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, is that the truth!!
DeleteSo Enty lists this back in November and the other day has him cheating on Bo Derek because he wants younger? But he did sorta slam Bo in this blind.
ReplyDelete"You don't hear from this actor very much any longer." *WINK*
ReplyDeleteThanks Enty, but how do you think we all know where to go for our pharmaceutical needs or where to get world-class chili cheese nachos?
Ps-Jessi nailed this one.
I knew my love was not misplaced... :'( Who is his no real talent A list movie partner?
ReplyDeleteOops, brain fart. He and Bo have been together 12 years, since 2002.
ReplyDeleteBo Derek
ReplyDeleteNever knew why I like him so much. now I know. well done man
ReplyDeleteYay Aidan Shaw!

ReplyDeleteAidan was the man! Couldn't figure out how Carrie could break up with him over Mr. Big
ReplyDelete@Simon
DeleteHolla. Aiden was my dream guy (even with that fringe jacket)
I know, I likedhim so much better than Big.
Delete@Simon: agreed! And he made his own furniture! (Portlandia reference)

ReplyDeleteSorry , blogger slow. Thanks for the Bo Derek answer
ReplyDeleteAwwww yea!! I got this right!
ReplyDeleteHe makes sure they live at the corner of happy and healthy
ReplyDeleteI love you for this, Sarah :)
DeleteThat is very nice for him to do. Kim and Kay are big on charity. I know if they weren't so busy they would be flying around the world helping out in person.
ReplyDelete@sandybrook, exacts, I guess John is a heart of gold kindofcheater.
ReplyDeleteLove him and Bo together.
I do love John Corbett and this just solidifies it. Hopefully the blind from the other day is not him.
ReplyDeleteI never knew who he was until Sex and the City. Kris and the girls loved that damn show. Their favorite was Mr. Big. Who has two thumbs and is happy to watch whatever I wanna watch now?
ReplyDeleteThey made you watch Sex and the City? I'm appalled!
DeleteNorhtern Exposure was awesome. <3 John Corbett.
ReplyDeleteI met him once at the State Fair in Dallas during NE days. He is wicked tall and super sweet. And so freaking cute I could die. Very nice fellow.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding.
ReplyDeleteThe voice-overs bring in a steady flow of cash…good for him
ReplyDeletehe grew up poor...single mom was a waitress...that stays with you
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous, @Gypsy!
ReplyDeleteLove his voice and he was so hot on United States of Tara.
Ah, Aidan. Love him as the voice of Walgreen's!
ReplyDeleteI may have to start an impromptu SATC marathon this afternoon. Love John Corbett.
ReplyDeleteGood for him but a quick peek at his imdb & he's been fairly busy, and continues to be. Many actors would envy so many acting gigs.
ReplyDeleteOne time, I gave a bag of clothes to people who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. It was the least I could do; those people had lost everything and I thought my clothes would be helpful.
ReplyDeletehave always liked him a lot.....
ReplyDeleteCarrie did not make the right choice.
ReplyDeleteI hope John Corbett does VoiceOver work 4eva. Talk about smutty tingles
ReplyDeleteWow. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just ate at Applebees (NOT by choice.) At least maybe some of my money will go to a good cause, and of course help the kids waiting on us at Applebees. I just loathe chains...
Well, good for John Corbett. Sounds like a great soul. And I always loved him on Sex and the City.
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteTeam Big
LOL that fringe jacket! And all those turquoise rings
ReplyDeleteWell I always had an irrational irritation whenever he was on TV so I'd better rethink that.
ReplyDeleteI think what he is doing right now might be considered a fairly successful career!
ReplyDeleteNorthern Exposure is my all-time favorite show. I'm happy to hear he is a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteAww I love him even more now! He started off as a hairdresser, nice to know he hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings.
ReplyDeleteLove Northern Exposure.
ReplyDeleteHe's on Parenthood
ReplyDeleteLove John Corbett. I always notice his voice on commercials.
ReplyDeleteBo Derek is a right-wing, proselytizing, tea partying homophobe.
ReplyDelete@Jslo nobody's perfect.
ReplyDeleteLovvvvvvvvve John Corbett!
