Members Antoyne Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Clearly some of us remember and still discuss the actor we preferred in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 And that was ridiculous. It was a Hispanic, presumably Catholic, character. If anything, the actress should have been called on the carpet for reverse racism rather than homophobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 LOL I much preferred him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't understand why actors have to be thrown under the bus for 2 minute pointless scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 The funny thing is, on a certain *ahem* gay cruising/"dating" phone ap someone started messagingme and his photo--which looked like a posed head shot--looked so familiar to me. Then I found out that he was using Engen's photo--in fact it was the first one that came up on google. Just seemed random--the guy sounded like an idiot and I doubt he realized the irony of using that photo/actor for his fake gay hook up site profile.

Members katie_9918 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 If someone was using my pictures to pick up ANYONE without my permission, I'd be offended. That beng said, I wouldn't mind my photo being circulated in a study group of EITHER or BOTH gays, straights, and lesbians to find out who the hell I actually attract, anyway.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ha would be aninteresting study Oh absolutely, though I hope the actor has more going on to worry about some Canadian loser using his photo on a social site... (I alays wonder if those people ever actually meet people in person, and how they react to the obviously different pic--I did call him out on it and he said the actor looked like him so heused it--and then switched to his real picture--which trust me didn't look like him--but I guess it got no hits becaue last time i was logged on I saw him back with Chris' photo).

Members katie_9918 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 I remember the word "homophobe" being bandied about immediately after his resignation/firing from Y&R. I'm not surprised we haven't heard from the actor immediately, since he was labeled a homophobe. He's got IMDB credits for '12 and '13, ao at least SOMEONE doesn't think it matters all that much or thought to question him as to what actually went on BTS of Y&R.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 It also sometimes doesn't stigmatize as much as you think--I mean Brett Ratner made that homophobic comment which lost him the job of producin the Oscars but he stillcontinues ot make (bad) movies...

Members DRW50 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Right. I don't know how he feels, and he's long gone from the show anyway, but I have always had an issue with much of this controversy being based on Nellie Olsen, who at that time seemed to be (to me anyway, just my opinion) in full propaganda mode for MAB, complete with attempts to make people see Jess Walton as a diva (which no one has ever called her, before or since) right at the time MAB reportedly wanted her replaced with Mel Harris.

Members DRW50 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think it's down to writers not remembering, or caring, as they even had Hope throw that in her face, and Hope may be a bitch, but you'd think she wouldn't taunt Nicole over what amounted to sexual abuse.

Members katie_9918 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Exactly. Sometimes a boot is just a boot. Yet anyone is willing to try to spin controversy out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
