Before we got to know him as the neurotic balding George Costanza on Seinfeld, he was singing and dancing with hair for McDonald’s McDLT!!! How different was the then 26 year old actor in 1985 as compared to the characters we go to know and live him as. Next time he is doing a stage musical, I am so going to make the effort to go and see it because he really does have a crapload of talent!!!
BTW so sad that the McDLT lasted longer than his hair!
SOW note: As you can tell I am trying to start a new post called Before They Were Famous! I think it is a lot of fun to see celebs before we knew them doing commercials, music videos, TV guest appearances, game show contestants, Soap Operas or bit parts in movies! I am trying my best to find as many of these on my own, but I need your help!!! So if you see them or know of any, can you please E-Mail me at [email protected]!!! I hope they are as fun for you as they are for me!!!
’80s singer Rick Astley is Never Going To Give Up ways to stay relevant in the business because he told The Guardian that he is working on a movie musical called New York Cowboy.
New York Cowboy will tell the story of a small-town boy who moves to New York City in the 80s. It is not, in other words, an autobiography.
“My wife’s now a movie producer so I read a lot of scripts and I’m really passionate about films,” Astley said in a recent interview. “One day I thought, ‘Well, why don’t I write one?’ And it turned into a musical – but not for the stage.”
You know what I was saying about how I want Hollywood to be produce more original movie musicals, I changed my mind after reading that.
Nia Vardalos had dinner with John Stamos and Bette Midler which makes me wonder if the trio are doing a movie tongether and that is why they broke bread? I mean John Stamos and Better Midler seem like such an odd pairing. But how hot would it be if they did a movie together where she was a Jewish-Mother Cougar dating a sexy Greek Stallion Cub played by Stamos!!! They could be so cute together, just look how sweet they look in those pictures.
You can tell it is sweeps when Soaps do the weirdest things like explosions, killing a big character off, having big couple wedding, some C-List singer performing on the show or have the virgin couple finally do it. As the years have gone on there are only so many places that can be blown up again, killing Stefano again or marry off Erica Kane again. So now they are trying new things like same-sex couples’ next stages and abortions, but none of the above could have prepared me for the current storyline on As The World Turns…sperm donor. That is so a sitcom storyline 20 years ago. And how much do you want to bet in May the father of the baby will be her arch-enemy, her brother, an alien or all of the above.
BTW did I mention of I love sweeps months for Soaps!!!
