I've not seen the R2GO ad. Oh My, indeed!

You also forgot his bit in HEROES, which I wanna say helped bring him back into the public eye and rekindle his career.

His tv commercial is pretty funny. He has a big smile and is just ecstatic and jubilant about the Rooms To Go package. Hey, good enough for Shatner, good enough for him I guess. He's got bills too!

You left out the part where he came out as gay.

He also had several roles as a legitimate (live, onstage, whole show every night)actor, critically successful if not overwhelmingly commercial. He's also a donor to the Los Angeles Japanese American Art Museum, and an influence in the serious L A art scene.

He's also written a couple of books.

Mrs BC follows him...

I've been following him for some time as well , but I just felt the need to share. I follow a bunch of the BDH on Twitter, though I seldom actually check it out. FB, I don't have too many celebs, and most of them , I don't even bother with getting updates. Save for G.T. He posts some real gems.

Aww man, I missed it. But as hot as Anna Silk is, I've not kept up w/ the show much after season 2. To be honest, I wasn't sure this series would make it past season 1. It seems the more 'into' a show I get, the sooner it's destined for cancellation, so for Lost Girl, I just sorta stopped watching. And sure enough, it's into season 4 ! Good for them.

Well, I can't say it has improved over the years, but I'm still watching. More for Ksenia Solo than Anna Silk though, and Kenzi was dynamite in that episode.

To each their own, I suppose. Kenzi is pretty wicked though.

ETA - I saw the R2GO ad, and it makes me want to go out and buy it!
