Any C list or lower list celebs you find real interesting?

[Another Fan]

Who says you have to be Taylor Swift or even Josh Allen in the entertainment or sports world to have an interesting story?

 

These two for me:

 

Sean Rooney- was a state champ basketball player under Bob Hurley at St Anthony’s.  But he’s more known or semi known to the world as Bettlejuices manager from the Howard Stern show.  He was the guy that discovered him.  Too bad he died in jail 😢

 

Eric Gurry- was Mighty Mouse or Horowitz in the old Sean Penn movie Bad Boys.  But today he is a venture capitalist with an Ivy League education.  I still wouldn’t be able to look at without thinking of that radio package that blew off Vikings ear or that big blonde guy in that movie

Bad Boys is one of my favorite movies. 
 

He also played the father in a movie based on a true crime book about a young girl who killed her step mother after her father talked her into it. 
 

I think the book was If You Really Loved Me. 
 

Pretty sure the girl’s real name is Cinnamon Brown. 
 

Not in a good place to google facts. 
 

Anyway. Great call.

I don’t even find A List celebs interesting. Not at all. They are just people, and often an odd group. 

 

We have known some famous people, and they hate the famous part of “rich and famous”, but I suppose one often needs the other.

Horowitz you're talking about?

 

The only other movie I recall him being in was Author! Author! when he was a kid with Al Pacino.  He played I think Al's son in the movie.  Was an okay movie.  I think its largely unknown outside of Pacino fans.

 

 

 

But yeah that Horowitz character is definitely a very memorable one to me.  While I have zero chance of ever crossing his path in business, I can see myself going all Chris Farley on him on a conference call.  You remember when all the prison guards had to detain you?  😅

So...a man crush thread

 

 

A really interesting guy I enjoyed watching on TV was River Monsters host Jeremy Wade

 

Whole job was traveling the world and catching crazy fishy things

 

And he could usually speak the local language wherever he was, which is admirable.

Remember how good it felt to get your ass kicked by a pillowcase full of soda cans??!!

 

And having the little river band literally blow up in your face!?

 

What a great movie!!

Totally agree - they are just people. And tbh I'm not clear on the difference between an A list celeb and a B, C, D,...celeb.

 

One guy that intrigues me is John Feldman. Probably a Z-lister, tho. Lead singer/writer of Goldfinger. Played 385 shows in 1996, breaking the Guinness Book of World Records for the most concerts in one year for a touring band. Musical style ranges from hard core punk to sappy pop. Staunch vegan and animal rights activist. I appreciate his passion for both even though I have a passion for neither.

I have one. Her name is Chase Masterson. I borrowed this from her wiki page. Long story short is she works with the same producer as my daughter doing cabaret gigs here in socal Mostly LA.  The first time I met her she was in shorts and flip flops. Later I got to see her glammed up at gigs. She hosts an ani bullying iniative and presents here at the ComicCon  Convention. . She always arranges for us to get comped 4 day passes. I consider her a family friend. Neat lady

Quote

Masterson's first major role came in 1994 as Ivy Lief on General Hospital. She then spent five years portraying the Bajoran Dabo girl Leeta on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine from 1995 to 1999. Her prominent feature film roles include starring as a sultry singer in James Kerwin's sci-fi film noir Yesterday Was a Lie, which she also produced, and voicing Janice Em in the animated film Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. Her television guest-starring roles include ER and Sliders; in the latter, her role was that of Kelly Welles, the sister of Wade Welles.

Masterson hosted an Entertainment Tonight-style news program for the Sci-Fi Channel in the 1990s called Sci-Fi Entertainment[8][7] and an Internet-based radio talk show for the website The Fandom in 2004–2005.

I have through my daughter being  singer as well as my son who was a touring musician with Cults have met more than a few celebrites. But I don't want to make his a "name dropper" thread.

 

This next guy though he was a character. One last one

 

Does anyone here listen to Sirius XMU or indie rock stations? I was a Thanksgiving dinner in NYC with this music producer named Shane Stoneback one time. Very nice guy but HUGE ego.  He wore a varsity letter jacket with last name in  6 inch letters across the back   .."S T O N E B A C K"   here are his producing credits

She’s got a nice set of dimples.
