don't i know you from somewhere?

i sometimes like to watch law & order at the gym in my office building. i know, i leave my desk so i can learn more about law? i just can't get enough. sam waterston, that is. (jerry orbach, RIP. i loved you as lumiere in beauty and the beast. and thanks for donating your eyes to NYC).

a guest star on this episode reminded me of an old worry of mine: whatever happened to that other guy on bosom buddies? is he haunted by his former co-star's 2 oscars? do these thoughts drive him to drink? what about tubbs? does he think about crockett? how about ruben studdard?

anyway, remember in the company of men, starring dreamboat (despite chin dimple and his being a woman-hatin' mormon) aaron eckhart and that guy who looked like a bald version of mark linn-baker? turns out that guy played some sort of forensics expert on a few eps of L&O the original. okay, so it preceded his co-starring turn as a misogynistic salesman, but i'm just sayin': whatever happened to him?

You're funny. My sister does the same thing. Sometimes she'll say, remember so and so actor, I hope he's okay. Like because he's out of work, he's homeless or something.

dude! Matt is a very very close friend of my sister's, and when i was in LA during my 2L summer, Shaw and I borrowed his car for three months. He's awesome-- genuinely a happy person with a big happy family. He lives in a lovely house in Venice CA and spends his summers in upstate NY. Once while we were there Campbell Scott came to town for a reshoot and borrowed Matt's car for a few days. (Though, tragically, I never met Campbell, I did talk to him on the phone to let him know where I had parked it!)

True story. Oh, and the car was an old ratty Honda Accord.

i heart campbell scott. what happened to him, seriously? he has the pedigree and the handsomeness to make it in this biz, yet what has he done since singles? okay, maybe the winslow boy, but seriously.

and i must pat myself on the back for having the foresight to create a balki bartokomous tag early on in our blogging careers.

This is very interesting. I'm obsessed with Campbell Scott. He was briefly on a sitcom this fall, Six Degrees, but it didn't last. Plus he looked very old. Sad he never took off outside of a few indie films.

wait, what? this matt person was on 6 ft under for a while. and he played a porn director who bashed in the head of an underage actress in one of his movies on SVU. In my book, that's emmy material!

Campbell Scott in Singles makes my heart go pitter-patter. Pitter-patter. Wait, didn't CFTS have a post on Singles? Am I imagining things?
