Featured Replies

LMAO!! I know that actors prepare for roles in various roles but could you imagine someone like Phil Carey or Larry Hagman saying something like that about playing

their villainous characters?

Right...apparently Muhney doesn't feel he gets enough credit...still feeling the burn of the Emmy snubs apparently.

Maybe it's because I like the character and the actor, but I don't find anything wrong with this article.

No matter what you think of Muhney, giving any credit or praise to Chris Engen seems unjustified and ridiculous.

Chris Engen said and did all the wrong things, and came across as anti-gay and homophobic. When it walks like a duck and talks like a duck....

I don't know much about It other than he took umbrage to the Adam SL with Rafe...I gave him the benefit if the doubt in thinking he felt that story with Adam using Rafe was an insult to the gay community. Not that this couldn't happen but when you only have one gay character and this is what you do....just no. And there has been no mention of Adam being gay or bisexual afterwards. I mean really, what kind of crap was that.

Engen's exit was misconstrued; the reality was he left because of the beyond disgusting storyline that was playing out that summer.

We'll never know for sure what CE or MM for that matter are like BTS. At least CE didn't come off as self-righteous in interviews as MM. Plus CE was very easy on the eyes, a decent actor and I cared for his Adam. I'd welcome him back in a second.

And rightly so...it was disgusting.

Maybe the fact that the man has absolutely no clue what constitutes actual drama. Sorry but the aspect of redemption is real. Perhaps he's never read any of the classics of Greek drama? I would suggest that he start by looking up the definition of catharsis and its relationship to redemption in Greek drama.

Or even Shakespeare, maybe (hello, does Hamlet ring any bells?).

He tries to sound like an astute, intelligent student of drama and the sum total of all its aspects. To me, he just comes off sounding like an a*s*s*. Plain and simple.

As a writer, I would never work with an actor like MM. I find him insulting to the writers in general (granted these are not at the top of the echelon but they are still his writers, he did not write his own scripts no matter what he says)

He is beyond self important and disingenuous. What's worse, is he has no idea the drivel that emerges from that enormous pie hole.

Chris Engen doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. He NEVER made a statement saying that he felt Adam was using Rafe in that s/l.

The only thing that came out was that Engen was against playing gay, and he never defended himself against charges of intolerance or homophobia.

Why waste time defending yourself against bogus charges when there are many people just looking to slander others as prejudiced?

But Adam is not gay. And has never been played as such. So how could he be against it. I need to see if I can find articles if what CE actually said. I don't remember thinking homophobia. But I could have been wrong.

That's exactly how I felt about it.

I remember how disgusted the characters were about what Adam did to Rafe. Adam was never gay, so we don't know if Engen was against playing gay. Maybe he was against pretending to be gay with a beloved character - Rafe.
